You mentioned a contest, but most definitely did not mention cash!

Well I was debating between gift vouchers or cash .... I thought to myself "What would a programmer want?". Then I suddenly realized that I was a programmer!! and said, I'd take the cash!!

Awesome contest! Thank you for even having something like this! I will definitely spread the word!

Just one quick question...if it's the highest average post, what if someone joins on June 18 and posts like 40 times? Then that means that person would have 40 posts and that wouldn't really be fair!

Hi Jess,

Yes you are right. It wouldn't be fair.
I think I will modify the rules and instead of using the average daily post count which is based on when someone joined, I'll do it manually from when the content started (17th April).

So if someone did join and post 40 times on the 18th of June, their average post count will only be 0.66

For those people who joined and posted before the 17th of April I will apply the same rule as above but your posts before the 17th of April will NOT be included in your daily average.

I think that's as fair as it can be? Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I'll also add a rule to say no duplicate content. This will be at the discretion of the forum moderators

Cheers ...
Delphi-PHP
