I had 500 002 - I was temporarily distracted from hitting the button

I believe this is the winning post:

https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/500000-post9.html

by Scottnorwo in creampuff's "Many faces of Charles" gallery "post your photos!" thread:

https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/52012-many-faces-charles.html

But far be it from me to act as judge in this contest. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong and this post I'm writing right now it in fact the winner.

Adam, I'll have no complaints if you see it the latter way. Some obscure technicality about how post numbering works...

J.Scott · 02-23-2009, 08:24 AM

No surprise here. I didn't win the $49 million in the 6/49 Lotto this weekend either.

I was 500,003. Close but no cigar.

Congrats to the winner!

**Scottnorwo** · 02-23-2009, 08:54 AM

Hey thats me. wow. my seven year old daughter will be excited. she wanted to win, so we went off commenting on the photos of tigers, flowers, and then I pulled up Charles. She said Eek and the school bus arrived.

Hope it is true she will be excited, as am I

Wow

Congratulations Scottnorwo and beest! You will be officially recognized as the two winners when I posted the "big-board" announcement later this week.

Scottnorwo will receive this card: Amazon.com: SanDisk 16gb Extreme® III 30MB/s Edition SDHC High Performance Card: Electronics
and it looks like beest will be receiving a $35 cash prize via PayPal toward an 8Gb SDHC card.

Once again, congratulations, and thanks to everyone for being so active on the site lately!

Daily traffic for just about every day of 2009 has been in the 6-digit range, and records are being set left and right!
