For everyone that has entered the competition, on the 3rd March you will need to close your longest thread, and then on the 4th i'll go and count them all, and post the winners here, I was going to give weekly updates, but too many people entered

What time zone and time to close on the 3rd March? eg midnight UTC :?:

Would hate to be disqualified because we got the time wrong!!

well, as this is only a bit of fun, the time does not really matter too much

just as long as the thread is closed with I check it on the 4th when I check it, you will be OK.

Now there's a cunning way to weed a few out! Our 3rd March might be your 4th March! What time zone are you in Daniel, and we'll work it out from that.

You know, this is a very good point

I'm in GMT (London), although at the moment i'm sleeping until quite late in the day (being a lazy git) so you should not have too much trouble, even if the thread is not closed strictly on the 3rd, just as long as by the time I get to it, it's closed, then i'll be a happy bunny.

I just hope that everyone taking part in this competition see's this message in time

Will you be posting a standings chart after the contest closes? I know we may not win, but I would like to see how we fare against everyone else.

PS:

How about we divide the total number of posts in the thread by the number of registered members of the board to get an "effective post number"

This would give the smaller sites a chance to compete!

I will see what I can do regarding what you have suggested (man it's going to take me all day at this rate)

Thanks Daniel for clarifying that. I'll sleep better at night now.

Shouldn't this have been set from the start, instead of changed towards the end of the contest??

Have like a consolation bracket? *lol* I like this idea. I don't want to change the rules because it's already started and almost over, but the cnsolation bracket is a nice idea. Especially since I"m one of those 'small boards' who stands no way of competing, but the effort is valiant!
