Please note... This is my 2000th post that was on the original thread. I wanted to repost this so that those of you who were absolutely sick of looking at that thread could get my response to the contest and more importantly, the contest winners. The winners are posted at the bottom of the page. Please send me a PM with your address and I will get your prizes out next week. Thank you!
WOW! This contest was FUBAR! So much for this time thing and mutiple post thing. I felt like Will Ferrell in Anchorman when he jumped into the bear pit and he says, "I immediately regret this decission." Well, that is how I felt. Sorry to drag everyone through this painfully excrutiating contest. LOL! I really thought that it would be several weeks before I hit 2000 posts.
So what set this in motion..... well, obviously I was getting ready to hit 2000 posts and I wanted to hold a contest. Also, about 2 months ago, I began a home project that took up every bit of my free time. So all the time that I normally would have spent on CT, I spent painting, putting up tile, more painting, ripping down walls, more painting, etc LOL! you all get the picture. Up until about two weeks ago, all was fine. I wasn't really posting and I didn't think I would even come close to 2000 posts until well after April 1st. Then two weeks ago I went on a posting spree and basically messed everything up.
I had this whole plan to post pics of the prizes and to keep everyone periodically updated, but that all went to hell in a handbasket when I hit 1,999 posts. I gotta admit, it was kind of funny to see everyone changing their guesses. I can only imagine all your frustration. So anyway, I wasn't planning on posting the results until this weekend, but I see a couple of threads that I want to post in and figure I will end all the pain and suffering tonight.
First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who participated. I have to say I was impressed with several members (Luis, ryanbrooks, spock, noost, the man12) for taking advantage of the contest rules and changing their guesses as often as possible. Even mikenoodle, sketcherpbr and tator and a few other members changed their guesses here and there. So thanks gang for keeping up with this. I tried to keep tabs on everyones guesses over the past few weeks and have concluded that there were two winners who picked April 2nd as my 2000th post day. The two winners are Sholom and 06Colorado! Congrats to both these members. Since nobody guessed within an hour of my posting time, the grand prize will not be awarded, but carried over for the contest in July. 06Colorado won top prize with his date and time of April 2nd at 6:12 PM. Sholom took second prize with a time of 4PM and I am actually going to award a third prize to the next closes person which is Mrbrklyn for his guess of April 3rd at 9:43am.
Congrats to these members and if you send me a pm with your address, I should hopefully have your prizes out to you all this weekend. Thanks again everyone!!!
Thanks again everyone, and I hope my next contest in July for my 2yr anniversary on CT will go much smoother!
and Congrats to the winners
