Congrats to the winners whomever you all may be! I'm guessing hanging chads and all that need to be counted before the confirmed winners are announced?

Wait.... so the posting part of the contest will carry on until this sunday? The actual Millionth post prize is the only one that is finished in this case?

That's just for one of the prizes... the tallying of 'most posts' continues.

It said the "end of the week" that 1 Mil was hit. I never knew if the end of the week was Friday, Midnight Sat or Sunday.

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

Indeed.

The K-x's are still up for grabs. If one of the current leaders hasn't read the announcement properly, then who knows, Jeff!

Adam,

You updates on the post count leaderboard (ala Deadliest Catch) have the cavet of needing to vet the posts? I'm assuming this will be done only for the Top X posters correct?
