Glad to.

It all started last August by Graceoutcast. His contest offered a coin of his choosing for the first one to respond to his post. The winner would have to continue the contest once he/she received the coin.

Around November it branched to Level 2. This level is for previous PIF winners and has the same rules.

So, there are two levels: Level 1 for those who have not won a PIF coin; and Level 2 for those who have won once.

Those who have won level one and level two get to sit back and watch!

So basically I start a thread..E.g. PIF #000, the first to post wins a coin of my choosing, then this person offers a coin up in another thread ..so on and so forth.

Then the person who wins can go to level 2.

I really dont have any great coins to offer though

Thanks for the explantion SN

Before you start a thread you have to be a 'winner' of a thread posted by someone else.

Or like on the Stamp Forum, if you really feel the itch to give something away, I don't see any harm strating a random giveaway...
