My reckoning is that midnight on 1st occurs after 23:59 on the 1st, shortly followed by 00:01 on the 2nd....

Am I the only one to see it that way? (ie the new year starts after midnight on the 31st of December)

@Adam please enlighten me! (Us)

Guess I've answered myself - I have a post counted....

(Probably 2 now...)

I expect others will reach that total before the month is over.

^^^Oh yeah!^^^

I don't post anywhere 100 times in a month. This is a huge challenge. haha

We are still quibbling about details at just about the same level.

The rumor treadmill ain't gonna move itself!

you could be right

but the posts are counting for the raffles

now

the post you quoted counted as my first post

**Buckeyemikie** · 10-01-2019, 11:49 AM

Adam,

Great idea as it will surely increase posting, however, I just can't see me making 100 posts this month. Over 3 /day? I'm retired & I don't think I could pull that off!

Any chance you could reduce that number? Might result in even MORE posts as more folks would make the effort.

Mike

I've made enough just in this thread.
In addition, I've posted two photos today and got several ready to post later.
Yes, I am also retired.

obviously

everyone has different demands on their time

and I spend way too much time here

but I enjoy it so what is wrong with that

any contest and its rules are compromises

and easily subject to being criticized ( some times rightfully so )

but some choice has to be made

and compared to the contests in 2018, I think these rules are very good

If only Pentax released another new flagship camera, people would post 100 times in that thread alone.
