I wrote and asked if it was done instead of making assumptions...
Here is what the man said..
"The contest ends this Sunday. The formula for score calculation is listed in the announcement thread, and is basically a consideration of post count and post length. GT, Politics, and a few other forums are excluded entirely, and forums like welcomes and PYP give reduced bonuses. After we've found the winners, their posts will be manually reviewed, and their score will be adjusted by any spam/filler posts made. At that point, the final scores will be calculated and a sinner announced! See that announcement post for details!"
Looks like there is more to go. Now I'm more confused about the 1M count than ever..
So crack your knuckles Robin, and get typing.. It's too tiring for me to try and catch up but I still would like to end in the top 5, if for no other reason than to be there
