I don't know if I'm up for a grand total of 150 posts to qualify for the maximum number of raffle tickets, but I'll give it a shot!

In "normal" times, a photo will remain on page one for at least two days, even if it isn't commented on.
I posted one yesterday, and even though it received a comment, it will probably will be off page one less than 24 hours after I posted it.
In another week, some denizen will probably complain about this increase in volume - but I think it is great ..... only one photo on page one has not received any comments!

Awesome giveaway, would love to win

What's your cutoff time for a day's posts? I had one to go to meet the five-a-day minimum for Sunday when I posted just after 11:30 PM EST and found myself starting over for Monday.

I believe it was said that the times are GMT. So you currently have a bit under an hour left for today.

EDIT> Yes, found it in the giveaway thread itself:

Well said!

it's not a new statement

check the " about me " section of my forum's profile:

Not as much as I may claim but more than some people give me credit for
