My guess is that they are making a list of everyone that posted in the thread and then randomly selected the winners from that list. So that would mean that if you post once, you have the same chances as someone who posted 1,000 times in the thread. I guess that is why this thread had so much activity yesterday, with everyone thinking that the more they posted in here the better their chances of winning. IMO if that is how winners were selected, or if the winners were chosen by randomly selecting the post number, which means that every post in the thread counted as a single entry, then expect to see more and more spam showing up in the thread. It probably would just be a matter of time before we start seeing posters splitting their posts up into single word posts to get more posts in the thread.
Agree. I dont think Post count has anything to do with how they are being picked

THANKS . . . AND - Although I do try to "My" best to make post interesting to represent what I want to say and hopefully bring a smile to a few people, even though I totally appreciate the compliment - I don't think any of them are even near the quality of a "Peter Max" . . .

Possible. But with 5 of the 6 winners being prolific posters, coupled with the effort involved in putting together members that have posted in a seperate randomizer (as opposed to just putting in a beginning and ending post number to randomize), from a probability standpoint, it's doubtful that's the method.

I downloaded it, but I doubt I will get credit for it, since the Google app uses my gmail address while my entry uses my yahoo address.
Interesting...I registered using the same email I entered with....I guess I either have 30 points added or not.:lol:

But if they are randomizing the winners based on the post (post number) and not the poster, then that just encourages spamming since every post would count as one entry.

Go buy a blue!

Anything Vape is better than any analog!

Uh, no. Blu's SUCK. They certainly don't taste like CIGARETTES. Pipe tobacco taste, completely. Ugh.

One of the contests you were refering to does allow a person to type instead of showing a picture
