too bad it is for only 100 people.
How any people depends on how you look at it.
Everyone who posted in June is eligible, so you could say that it is for 2100 people, with a two stage process selection process - those who are "lucky enough" to get a post in, and that one "lucky enough" to have his/her name drawn.

You've got a .05% percent chance overall, and 1% if you get into the threads. While those numbers seem small, it's actually pretty darned good odds for a prize this size. (It rhymes )

you must post in one of the two threads and be among the first 50 posters in either thread

then you have one chance if 50 of winning

any post you made to help the forum reach the 40,000 posts does not get you into the 100 people who will have a chance to win
I ment it as in he's eligible. You're in whilst you're not out.

It means I posted like 200 [how many I do not know for sure] photos during the month for the raffle! Most were not meant to be seen by the human eye!

The Pentax Forum, like most on-line places, provides no way to terminate membership. For example, Rupert is included in the 78,000 even though everyone knows he died last winter. The 2100 individuals who responded this month is probably a better membership list than the 78,000 in the database. From that viewpoint, we needed 20 responses from each member, but some responded only once or twice {I didn't take time to count yours}. so others of us had to respond more often than that.

Yes the average is 20 posts a head over the month but it seemed harder than that.
There seemed to be a core of say 30 doing the hard yards down to the single entry posts
Stihl was worn out but he's coming back for more fun and enjoyment

Why do these join together all the time ???

You did get lots of likes! If you don't feel you have any more photos to display, you could always participate in conversations .... or you could cross-post .... Rupert would often find several other sections/threads {besides his squirrels thread} in which to post each of his pictures - he would often post in both "Squirrels" thread and "Bokeh" thread.
