Didn't get what these two mean:

Points assigned for each thread posted to: 3
Points assigned for each forum posted to: 3

Ps. what about posting rules or are there no rules and every section counts

I've added some more guidelines.
As far as I understand, it means you get 3 points in if you post in the forums eligible, and other 3 points in you post a thread in the eligible forums. So if you post a new thread in said forum, you will get 6 points. It's been a while since we last used this

**Yogesh Sarkar** · 05-13-2008, 02:10 PM

So if we post in a eligible forum, we will 6 points for it and 7 points for starting thread?

Also we will get 7 points for starting a thread in non eligible forum?

**brandondrury** · 05-13-2008, 02:31 PM

Great contest! I've always wanted to do something similar, but I wasn't sure how to pull it off from a scripting standpoint and there were always 500,000 other things on my list.

What do we win if we finish 232nd? ha ha

Would it be out of line to ask how you are pulling this off from a scripting standpoint? My vbulletin forum is about music recording so I don't think we'd be competing.

**SticKer** · 05-18-2008, 02:38 AM

I haven't been quite active on this forum for the past 2-3 weeks but that' coz of my new job and that's taking all my time leaving very little time to handle my own sites. But I'll looking forward to this contest and post whenever i get time.

yup, and the more you post, the more points you'll get.
So if you posted a marketing article or some useful news and it got some replies, you could jump up pretty quickly and we're only half way through.. The contest is over on the 15th
