I decided I want to have another contest, and I want this next one to be really simple, really really simple. So here it is, at the bottom of the main page it says:

"Threads: 3,950, Posts: 11,413, Members: 1,526, Active Members: 332"

every time someone posts to the forum Posts: 11,413 is increased by 1

so guess what that number will be on a date that I decide on and you win.

that's it, just guess what you think the number will be and you can win the contest.

ok, now to complicate it a little, I am thinking about giving some incentive if anyone tells someone about the contest.
The idea that is coming to me is this, you get $50 for guessing the number and $50 goes to the person who referred the winner.
this might encourage people to post a link or refer new members since they would have a chance to win for each member they referred to the contest.

additional rules:
1. in the case of a tie the first person to post the number wins.

So let me know what you think about this kind of contest…

Great I love to see enthusiasm,

but I haven’t picked a date and time for the official ending, I will give out the ending date when I start the contest.
I am thinking about using midnight GMT -7 (that’s pacific time for people in the US) just because that is an easy time for me to check. and I want to have enough time to advertise it so we will get more than 1 or 2 people so it will be several days or up to a week from now before I decide on a date.

And I think we need to finish the first contest before we start another one, so I may increase the prize or just tell some random person the answer, haven’t decided which yet.

So this contest won’t officially start at least until the first one ends. Right now I am just trying to see what people think of the idea…
