Some folks didn't read the specifics;

requirements for registered users
Minimum 6 mos. Membership as of Dec. 25.
AND
Minimum 500 posts as of Dec. 25.

Failure to meet BOTH requirements disqualifies your entry; a, sorry, bit if you just joined since this summer, I can't truly consider you an "active" member of the comminity (yet). Not sure if you'll stick it out or just passing through... (Not sure if you're a secondary "ghost" account to someone else, fishing for extra chances to win either). Stick around though, maybe you'll catch the next one!?

Furthermore, 500 posts in 6 mos. = 2.8 posts per day... If you've "only" been here for 6 mos. but post 3 times a day on average, you can be considered an active, maybe even productive member of the community... If you've been here longer then that, and still haven't reached 500, you're certainly not active or productive... Like a registered member for 3 years, with less then 200 posts, obviously not very active, but conveniently show up for free hand out, that's a bit suspect and not going to happen on my dime. I'm doing this because I enjoy the community, the "active" community, and enjoy giving back (to them)... If your avg. post count is less then once per week, and you don't have a paid membership to help support this site, you are obviously NOT part of the community I appreciate, (or you're a secondary "ghost" profile to help somebody else get extra chances to win).

Obviously not 100% fool proof,
but at least helps to limit the cheats and weed out the less deserving...

FWIW i am going to go through each entry to make sure they're within the guidelines, Gonna be fun weeding through all the entries on Christmas day in order to count only the ones that will be eligible... Worth it though...

*sigh... Some people's children; not reading instructions and such...

No worries about me. I'll take my name out of it. I won't have 500 posts before Christmas. As for me being a contributing member, I joined a long time ago, but due to life events have only actually become active in the past 3 months. I'm not complaining. You can't, however, always equate a join date with number of posts and come up with an answer on whether someone is contributing or not.

Anyway, this is a very generous thing you are doing and I commend you. Merry Christmas everyone! :)
 
NOT an entry - just wanted to say good for you for doing a GAW! Good luck to all who enter...
 
Well poo.. I've been here plenty long enough but not enough posts.
Mostly just not alot to say that someone hasn't already said.lol.
Oh well. Still really cool of you to do. Thanks for the chance.
Merry Christmas BladeForums. :)
