Bye bye Entrecard

From some reason entrecard has banned me from using my account and there was no reason given to me so far from their Support team. Meanwhile I have decided to bid good bye to them for ever. Soon, I believe entrecard will die. All I did was dropped and dropped and dropped on others cards to earn points. I dropped on 300 cards a day for the past 7 days. If this was the reason that I was banned, I am sure I will have to hate them much more than I really do.

Now the entrecard contest is no way be continued with them. So I am searching for some other gift for the winners, until then the contest is paused.

What I did to get banned from Entrecard:
All that I did to entrecard was illegal and I never know it was illegal until I got banned by them. Anyway Entrecard should have warned me from that, or have given negative points so done something that would have let me know that I am doing something wrong.
Now, I wrote a code in PHP (come on, ’script is illegal’ I thought only making a bot that automatically drops for you is illegal, read further) that displays entrecards of different websites in a single page. I know its illegal, but only after I got banned I understood that. Until then I thought I was bit intelligent than the other, of course every developer has to think that way. All that I did was displayed Entrecards of random users by randomizing the user account number. The page displays 25 entrecard drop boxes of different users.
Now, I apologize for the illegal act and accept the punishment.
<?php
for($i=0; $i <= 25; $i++) {
$userid = rand(3500, 8800);
?>

<br />
<?php
}
?>
If all that it takes is just 30 minutes of fun and challenge why wouldn’t a geek do that if he doesn’t know its illegal.

Many people are telling that Entrecard is dying. Nowadays I’m running but I’ll give up when I see it isn’t worth to keep it.
I’m sorry codetiger, I’m sure you’ll find a good gift for your contest
@Binary Ant
Thanks a lot for the thumps up…
I see even some more good sites being banned from entrecard
entrecard is doing idiotic work grrr.
@siddharth
ah, really? Then I am not left alone.
Hey .. did you try contacting the support ?? is something wrong ??? I dont think they should do that .. May be they thought that you are using some script to drop the card !!
Greetings,
For the record, you were banned for dropping cards on sites that did not even have widgets. There is only one way to drop a card on a widget that doesn’t exist, and it is very illegal.
@Kanak
Anyway, I started hating their service. Now, I am completely away from them and dont want to contact them anyfurthur. I think they decided not to reply my email.
@Entrecard
Hey,Thanks for being here. And just checkout my updates to this post which I added after seeing your comment.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .. that was bad of you shankar
.. however it was fun … writing a code ..but as usual … if something which can be detected is not intelligent way of doing it … At the time when I put up the contest … I used the power of Firefox … then MsExcel and then converted the page into excel to get the url of the drop link of the cards …then opening every link in new tab ..made me drop nearly 100 card in 15 mins … that too undetected ..
…. ( i know i super summarized the process … but its was long way back ) ..
u look cool at doing scripts
@Siddharth
