Because putting a limit on the number of entries would reward those who live on the site, and hurt the chances of those who can't. It would also promote more people to just sit there watching for new giveaways, and to dogpile onto the big ones while leaving those with lives left out, thus NOT giving everyone a fair chance.

I really don't understand your obsession with hour long giveaways in this discussion. Not all giveaways are an hour long. I have seen some giveaways hit 2,000 entries in an hour, also.

Because both ideas go against the nature of the site. People enjoy hour long giveaways because it usually means they have a better shot at winning. People also enjoy longer giveaways because it gives more people a shot instead of just those who are around when the giveaway is initially created.
Even if there was a change made, it shouldn't be one that is applied to all giveaways. Like I said at the bottom of the page, such choices should be up to the one creating the giveaway, not by the greedy members of the site who only care about their own winnings.

Or you could stop trying to twist the system to give you a higher advantage of winning things. It's fine as it is, be quiet.

Just to let everyone know before I continue, I do not support the idea of a limited number of entries. But if people insist on pursuing this idea, here is the only way at all this idea could work while still remaining fair:
Leave it up to the gifter. Make it so that it just has a time limit as it does now, with no entry limit. If the gifter decides to put an entry limit, they need to be able to choose how many people are allowed to enter (anywhere from 5 to over 9,000). If the gifter chooses an entry limit, the giveaway should end as soon as this limit is met, but in case it isn't met (like GVBN said about with private/group giveaways), there still needs to be a time limit so it doesn't just go on forever.

Putting limits on will only make people want to flock to the first giveaway they see which will allow some people to enter all the contests and leave the rest out. Frankly I think what they've done with the points is enough to fix the high entries by making points so scarce people will only enter for the things they want most rather than the first decent looking game they see.

well I think the number of entries per game is too much, and it somehow reduces the intention of some members here to join one as the possibility to get one is too little. For a game only worth 1p, I dont know why there can be more than 1000 entries. I think a limit on that will make the site better.
