Online CRAZY EGG CHAIN lets play

[Brown Chicka Brown Cow]

This chain doesn't do roll-backs. Bantam, Pay-Pal & EOTM do, but not this 1.

EOTM?Sorry for the possibly silly question, but what swap is this? Thanks!

East of the Mississippi. It's a new 1 in the last 2 months, & has pretty much died out after only about 6 swaps due to rollbacks. Rollbacks can really kill a swap chain, especially if it's new or moves slowly anyway.

Last post was over 2 1/2 weeks ago. You may want to check with Clover run to make sure her offer is still good & she even still wants to run the chain.

Stalls kill a swap quicker than rollbacks. The purpose of rollbacks is to get things moving again. It probably died because no one knows about it, lol.

You can't do rollbacks on a brand new swap chain at 12-24 hours & expect anyone to have anything claimed when no one knows the chain is even there. You have to get the word out to get the chain going before using roll backs. She started rollbacks after 2 swaps on that chain & killed it almost instantly because everyone got sick of claiming something & then having it taken back when no one claimed their offer immediately.

Yeah I agree, if there's no one on the thread you can't expect it to move fast right away.
