Originally posted by mlaird . . . I don't like the raffle thread part of the contest as much because it doesn't relate to how well the user has helped the forums with interesting posts, it only relates to how well they do at posting quickly when a thread opens.
with the new rules for the August contest,
you don't have to post quickly to get into the raffle
26 members who were the top posters in June and July are guaranteed a spot in the final raffle
if you post 80 180 times or more in August, you are guaranteed a spot in the raffle
if you post 10 times but less than 80, you then compete for one of 240 slots
your choice
remember that posts to groups or to the contest thread do not count
