Thanks for participating everyone. Week 3 has been updated.

We are going to switch up the contest ideas for a few weeks and see how it goes with different things.

Ok this week goes like this! Everybody who hits 2000 points or more will be in a drawing for the week 4 qualifier. That makes it fair for everyone.

A drawing is cool, and it gives everyone a chance. Wow, though! 2000 points in one week? That's 200 postings!

If I understand the rules correctly it can be done in less than 100. Just depends on how you do it;).

Rev, don't you think that with this rule people are going to still flood the threads with random posts???

This would apply to posting in the forum regardless of the contest, but PLEASE before you create a new thread.....search the topic to see if there is already another thread on it. It will just be a waste of your time and ours and will not count for any points if you post duplicate information or questions.

No because based on the previous weeks points this is close to what the average people in the contest were getting. The winners each week have been getting 13,000-15,000 points. The whole point of the contest is also to get people active. We just want legit stuff to flood the forums. :) Also people are not in a race against each other. They can go at their own pace and honestly 2000 points is super easy to get. For example if you start a good thread in a new forum that is worth 40 pints for that one thing. 20 for the thread, 10 for the post, and 10 for it being in a particular forum. Invite 4 people to R2R that post 10 times and that's 200 points.

Yes, but still it took me over two years to get 300 posts. I doubt I'll be able to do even 100 in a week. Good luck everyone! :)
