hydn · December 22, 2024, 9:25pm

With just over a week left here are the current standings:

Payments will be made on or before December 1st. Proof of payment will be pasted below. Please be prepaid for verification, since it’s important that participants be confident that all members in the list are legitimate individuals.

At minimum, we will be using IP address, email, and tel # for verification of winners. This ensures that no users are registered twice or otherwise trying to game the system. And of course that there are no accounts used by myself that are eligible.

Good luck, and thanks for being valued members of our community.

A reminder of the participation rules once more:

hydn:

Participation Rules:
To maintain a high-quality and enjoyable experience for everyone, please be mindful of the content you post.

Posts must NOT include repetitive phrases or signatures, and every contribution should aim to add value to the community.

Avoid generic or spammy posts like “hi” or “welcome to the forums” without adding meaningful engagement.

Avoid Double Posting - If you’re already the most recent contributor to a thread, please avoid posting multiple replies in a row. Instead, edit your existing post to continue the conversation. This will still bump the thread and keep the discussion going without unnecessary clutter.

If any user is found to be abusing the system by posting repetitive or low-quality content solely for points, the forum admin reserves the right to disqualify them from the contest.

We want to ensure this rewards genuine participation, so keep your contributions thoughtful and helpful to other members.

Those who ignore these rules, especially repeatedly, will not be eligible for the contest. After repeat warnings, offending posts will simply be removed from the forums and trust level will be lowered accordingly.

Thanks again for your participation, guys! The 3 winners receive their awards by January 1st 2025.

Edit:
Good luck to everyone for January’s contest!

Edit:
Coming up on the final week of this month’s contest. Good luck!

Edit:
In full transparency, @migrator has opted to be excluded from this contest/awards. As such, his username will be excluded from the leaderboard, which is used to track those who participate. Thanks again to everyone who participates no matter how much. A forum is nothing without it’s members!

Edit: Less than a week left for the February contest. Thanks @all for your participation.

Edit: We’ve made some layout changes to improve navigation for new members. This won’t affect the Leaderboard contest. You can still access the Leaderboard from the navigation column or view the old front page (showing the latest replies and Leaderboard) by clicking “More (bottom right) “Latest” or “topics” from the home page. We will try this for about 30 days and then decide which of the layouts work best for the community.

Two weeks like in the March contest. Here are the standings
