    NEWS FLASH COMING OUT OF THE NORTH POLE... SECRET SANTA 2024 IS HERE!!!

    Santa and his elves are proud to announce that the 2024 Tundras.com Secret Santa event is now live and sign-ups are now active!!!

    If you are planning on participating, please read through the eligibility requirements and the rules of the event (listed below) to verify that you are eligible to participate and able to carry out your responsibilities as a Secret Santa.

    Now, if you meet the minimum requirements and would like to be a part of this great annual event, just click the link below, complete the sign-up form, and once you're eligibility has been verified, you'll be on Santa's 'list'...

    :santa2: Click Here To Sign Up Now!!! :santa2:
    ]
    :santa2: Wish List Thread Is Now Live... Click Here!!! :santa2:


    Important Links that will be coming in the near future:

    *** SS 2024: Santa Wants To See Your Christmas Spirit... Post Your Holiday Decorations Here :evil: Thread ***

    *** SS 2024: What Did You Receive Thread ***



    Here's the timeline for the import dates:

    November 1st: Wish List Thread Goes Live!!!

    November 15th @ 12 Noon EST: Sign-Ups Close!!!

    November 18th: The North Pole will have distributed 'recipient' names to all Secret Santas!

    November 29th: Let's See Your Holiday Spirit Thread Goes Live!!!

    Everyone should hopefully receive their gifts no later than Christmas, but as a Secret Santa you should be shooting for your recipient to have their gift(s) delivered by December 20th.

    Don't forget, it's more than acceptable to send your gift(s) early. In fact, once you've received your recipient's information, you are encouraged to research, shop for, and ship your gift(s) as soon as practical.

    We (Santa and Tundra's Staff) understand there are often delays. If there is a serious delay, you will likely get a message from @Tundras.com Forum Santa asking what the deal is. If you don’t respond, we will be ready with the ban-hammer and you’ll end up on the @KRAMPUS list of naughty children. You could alleviate this by keeping Santa informed of any expected or unexpected delays that may be occurring in your recipient receiving his/her gift(s) by the deadline.

    If you do have any issues that need to be resolved, delay notices that need to be sent, etc... please do not hesitiate to PM Santa @tundras.com , and I'll be happy to either help out or forward or relay any necessary messages to your recipient (so as to keep our Secret Santas secret :spy:)...

    *** OK, SO HERE ARE THE RULES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 2024 EVENT: :evil:

    NAME SUBMISSIONS CLOSE NOVEMBER 15TH AT 12 Noon EST, NO EXCEPTIONS and we mean it!!!! There are time stamps...

    Secret Santa Eligibility Requirements as of 2024:

    Members must have joined before January 1st of the year participating (before 1/1/24 for this year's event).

    Please note the minimum gift requirement has been raised to $50 plus shipping.

    Members must already have at least 250 posts to be added to the list! If you don't have the time or the post count, just participate more in the community and join in on the fun next year.

    We have the right to deny participation to anyone for any reason (unlikely to happen but some people are on a one year time out or permanent ban from future events due to various reasons).

    If someone gets banned for any reason during the Secret Santa season and they are participating, they will be removed from the event and will be banned from future events. THIS IS YOUR WARNING TO BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR!

    Please, Please, Please, don't do anything to get Santa or his poor elves in trouble!!!

    Please read and follow all the rules or don’t participate.

    Additional Secret Santa rules:

    - Keep gifts PG-13 unless you know the recipient personally; lets not upset spouses or make things awkward for anyone (again) :facepalm:

    - Absolutely NO WHINING!!! If you whine incessantly, you may face a ban from future events.

    - Assclownery and douche-baggery will not be tolerated. Try to stay on topic, otherwise elves may have to beat you with a stick.

    - YOU must do the legwork once pm'd. If you need help, ask a friend to help. The elves WILL NOT do your dirty work.

    - You must send a gift to the name you get, no exceptions... IE>>> (don't see eye to eye, don't like their mama, they're driving the wrong Gen Tundra, etc.).

    - You may be sending a gift out of the country. There’s no opt-out for this. If you get a recipient from outside of the U.S. expect shipping issues if you're sending things across the border (and keep in mind that some things could get confiscated as they pass through Customs). If you have questions or concerns about navigating this, please ask and we can help you through the process.

    - Same as years past, there is no cap, you can be as generous as you wish but there is a $50 minimum for gifts excluding shipping costs. If you decide to go nuts and spend a ton of money, don't expect the same from your secret santa.

    - Remember people, it really is the thought and effort that you put into a gift that matters the most. Not all, but most folks would much rather receive a well-thought out gift that is highly personalized and totally unexpected than a high-dollar gift that you put no effort into. :thumbsup:


    - Mods and the elves here on Tundras.com take no responsibility if someone flakes and does not send a gift. We will do our best to fix it, since we will have their names and addresses. Maybe we'll send cousin Vinny to break their kneecaps :mad:.

    - It's important to know that while we frown on folks not living up to their obligations as Secret Santas, we do understand that 'life' happens, and we will maintain a short list of back-up Secret Santas in case someone does flake or has an unexpected life event that renders them unable to fulfill their duties.

    *** Please note that it is extremely important for you to notify Santa via PM @Tundras.com Forum Santa as soon as possible if you find yourself having trouble fulfilling any of your obligations as a Secret Santa.


    - As long as you're on the Participant List, you will send AND receive a gift.

    - Once a gift is received, please open it immediately and post a picture in the 'Secret Santa 2024: What Did You Receive Thread'. Santa is normally a stickler about not opening gifts before Christmas, but that doesn't apply here. So, please don’t make your Secret Santa sit there anxiously freaking out, wondering if a porch pirate snagged your booty. Also, please make sure to censor names and addresses to protect everyone’s privacy, or what little we have left nowadays. Finally, please proactively check for packages, but don’t whine daily about not receiving anything. It’s annoying and you don’t want to anger the elves.

    - If possible, keep proof of the item being sent in case it's lost/stolen in the mail. At the very least, we can prove that it was sent out.

    - Once Nov 15th, 12 Noon EST is here, you CAN NOT back out of your commitment. This is the only way to be fair to all participants. We use time stamps, so don’t try to argue this.

    - If you choose to send your gift in a box, it's your choice to wrap it or not. Recommendation is to not send it in the box it came in, as to ruin the surprise. However, 'recipients' should understand that sometimes (especially nowadays) it's much more efficient and even unavoidable at times to not have an item drop shipped by the vendor. This path often allows the Secret Santa to spend less on shipping and hopefully :rolleyes: more on the gift itself. If you are having something shipped directly to the recipient, try to remember to check the 'is this a gift' box during checkout (when available) so hopefully the vendor will do their best in making it a good gifting experience.

    Let's get this going, and hopefully we have another successful year!

    We will not respond to any PMs on our personal accounts. If you have issues and they warrant reaching out to us, please PM @Tundras.com Forum Santa

    No politics, no COVID discussions, same CoC rules apply. :evil:

    Let's have a great 2024 Secret Santa event and more importantly, let's have a fantastic holiday season and continue to build this community!!!

    Sincerely,

    Santa and his Elves!!! :santa2:

    SUCCESSFUL SECRET SANTA SIGN-UPS :santa2:
    The following is THE official list of 'vetted' Secret Santa 2024 participants in no particular order. Santa will be updating the list a couple of times a week.

    If you don't see yourself on the list a few days after having completed the sign up process, you're either not qualified to participate this year, or something went awry with your sign-up and you should send Santa a PM @Tundras.com Forum Santa so he can have the North Pole IT Department investigate the problem.

    Also, if you happen to get 'tagged' here (indicating you're signed up to participate), and you didn't sign up or want to be removed from the particpation list, please PM Santa IMMEDIATELY @Tundras.com Forum Santa so we can get you removed. Cancellations MUST be received before sign-ups close on November 15th!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

    Actually, that's a good, legitmate question...

    However, for the purpose of this event, Santa is only concerned with your tenure and profile stats within the Tundras.com community. We're glad to have you here on the 'Tundras' side of the house, but you'll need to wait until next year to be eligible to participate in the event.

    Nah, you're good...

    But, the North Pole IT Deparment only works Mon-Thurs (4/10s). So, it will be Monday before Santa can get some IT support... :santa2:
