News Special Giveaway: 16Gb SD card for 500,000-post milestone!

Earlier on in the post it was agreed that the winner if outside of the uk would pay the excess postage. Customs is not payable as its not over the limit (over £100) in uk

The 16Gb card is $127 and postage for it would be $72 as quoted on Amazon. They only ship expedited to Europe; I do not think that's reasonable at all.

What about money for non-us folks? I can get 8gb extreme iii's for £35

I will consider this. A cash prize equivalent to the value of either card wouldn't be inconvenient for either of us, unlike shipping overseas.

That's it for replies from me to this thread. Good luck to everyone! Keep on posting, especially as we approach the 500,000 post mark, to increase your chances of winning!

Okay, so are there any stats, like the average number of posts per x time period?

How many posts today comapred to this date last year?

Adam · 02-13-2009, 01:00 PM

Yes, we take daily post statistics, as well log overall site traffic. Let me dig up the numbers for you!

Adam · 02-13-2009, 01:05 PM

January, 2009:
max. Daily Posts- 2027
min. Daily Posts - 1067

January 2008-
max Daily Posts - 1037
min Daily Posts - 623

Post count was generally evenly distributed between the minima and maxima both months, but simply put: the number of new posts as doubled.

Traffic:
January 2009 Average (daily page requests): ~110k
January 2008 Average (daily page requests): ~65k

I posted some more details statistics earlier in the news forum if you'd like to have a look!

I love the idea of this (especially because i'm a new member) but I also understand the reasons for CONUS and Canada addresses for the SDHC card winners. (be nice to have the cash equivalent too).

If it was the other way around (non CONUS or Canadian shipping addresses only) you can bet you'd have complaints too.

So by the rate we're going it should be 15-20 days until we actually reach that count. I'll be sure to keep watching that post count.

Adam · 02-13-2009, 06:06 PM

I project the winner to be announced in 10-12 days, as the average number of posts per day is about 1,400 at the moment.

jct us101 · 02-13-2009, 06:20 PM

Not if I can help it. :-P
