I was thinking of having a contest on my site and I thought of this idea. Below the navbar will show underscores where letters should be. It'll work like Wheel of Fortune or hangman but instead of guessing the letters they have to post a certain amount of times to reveal one letter at a time.
If the word was "Greyhound" and the number of posts they had to make was five then for every five posts they'd see a letter. I want it to show the letters randomly but as I'm processing how I'd do it in my head I can't think of what to do.

Back to the contest idea... If user A posts 20 times he'll see "Grey_ _ _ _ _". If user B posts 10 times he'll see "Gr_ _ _ _ _ _ _". The first person to guess the word wins.

That seems like a very innovative contest idea. I've never heard of it before. The only thing to worry about would be non-valuable posts just to increment the post count. If would good to set some precautions against that. (Avg. character/word count in posts or something)(

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
