Sign up 24 hrs before announcement, post ONCE to the contest thread, 1 entry, 1 chance. Then when the winning name is drawn it will be fair AND random. Best of luck to all of us that have entered.
So you are in favour of a person joining the forum just to enter the contest, winning it, and then never posting again?

Not at all. Pointy read it right. Unless they were psychic, anyone joining a day before you even make an announcement that there is going to be a contest, would indicate (to me anyway) that they were interested in the forum to begin with. The "sorry for ya" part was for those that would join just to win, or joined and tried to enter after the contest had started. That's all I meant.
Scaled properly it could work I guess, but there are loads of us who aren't lurkers, but still learners, and simply don't have much to say. I suppose if I had 4100 posts instead of 41 my feelings might be different
. Like I said earlier, your house, your rules. Was just throwing my .02 in in response to the thread title, that's all. Good luck everyone who got in!!
