Jesus Christ on a cracker! Over 1200 posts to enter the contest (as of this very minute), and the contest was just started today! Is someone from GOG keeping track to make sure each user only enters once? Or are multiple entries allowed in there?

Just seems that based on the number of people who are "regular" posters, in comparison to the number of entries...it just raises my eyebrow a bit.

The sleeper has awakened! Oh, how many sleepers?! Well, f.. ;)

Yeah, i was surprised how many 08 and 09 accounts popped out, not just the Post September Users. ;)

The Holiday Wish thread seems to have gotten a similarly robust response.

I'm sure they have an automated script or so that auto-collect the username of repliers on that thread.

Yeah it'd be a simple sql query, collect all unique usernames from the thread, put them in their own table then randomly select 5 entries to win

I'm gonna leave this thread as "Unsolved" unless I hear directly from a GOG team member, but from what you & Catshade say, it makes sense that they could and should do that. I know nothing of programming, so if the 2 of you say it can be done, your word is good enough for me.

P.S. I am just abusing the sh!t outta these italics since they were added last week!! Loving them!!
