Or maybe not so much confused, as milking it for the quota.

Hmmm, I wonder what you mean by that?

Funny, I remember it as "close" only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades, and armpits.

I heard that "close" is only important in horse shoes, hand grenades, and dancing.

Got me thinking about horse shoes...

Well, in the November contest there were 1397 entries after 20 days, for an average of 69.8 per day.
By the end of the November contest, there were 2136 entries, for an average of 71.2 per day.

This month we have 4-1/2 hours to go, but the last time I checked there were 1626 entries {I have already made mine for today, so I have nothing to gain from making this one}, for an average of 81.3 per day.
The contest this month has already attracted lots of posts - congratulations to us all.

Thank you, Adam, for both raffles, November and December. They have fueled an incentive for more involvement in the forum by current members and seems to have brought in several new members also. Of course the possibility of winning a nice new camera has helped a lot, too.

I think the simple raffles run this year were the best compared to the earliest ones

I quite agree - a friendly spirited raffle indeed.

MikeMcE · 12-27-2020, 11:41 AM

My first one, quite fair, simple to do . It generates a ton of views and comments. Has to help the numbers!

Hang up and DRIVE!
