who won?

[Alan Cottrill]

i have to be honest, I typed my post at about 10:00 and refreshed the post counter every few minutes since then waiting for just the right time to submit...and I think I still lost.

how many of you were doing the same thing?

[Emission]

I think "LeeH" won.

[RickM]

I wonder what the odds in Vegas are on this?

[Emission]

When I saw the counter at 500,000 the name was "LeeH" - I should have done a screen shot. Doh!

[LeeH]

Funny, last time I was so busy getting the screen shot that I didn't really play the game. That would be cool if I won. I just hope my wife doesn't treat the clock like that special lamp in "A Christmas Story."

[RickM]

I was seein different names but with the counter unchanged. I hope there's an application or server level log.

Wayne is on the phone to the Palm Beach County Registrar's office as we speak......

I remember the issues with the 300,000th post contest. The server choked with all the traffic at the last minute. Pretty funny. Someone had taken a screen shot (thankfully).

[RickM]

I hope there's no hanging chad involved here.

We are all winners in the end...

[Eric H]

I captured post 500001 by RickM at 7:40pm so it looks to me like LeeH won...

[RickM]

7:40PM?

[singpilot]

Everything on the server is on London (GMT) time. Makes it confusing for all the Al Gore supporters to challenge in the Supreme Court.

[Eric H]

Yes, 7:40 GMT... it says so on below the thread...

[surflvr911sc]

Not if you set it for the correct time in your time zone.

[RickM]

Mine shows EST. It's how it's set in preferences.

Now, lets see if that 500K post follows the rule

Heck, I was refreshing once/second at the end and submitted at 499995 figuring others would be doing the same.

[singpilot]

So, Who won?

[Emission]

We are waiting for the Registrars to authenticate the results.

Congratulations to the winner! Now for the 1,000,000th post...
