We are pleased to announce the following contest for a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate. This contest is open to everyone other than moderators and sponsors. (Currently, the moderators and the people from http://www.admissionsconsultants.com)

Each member will receive chances according to the following schedule:
50-199 posts: 1 chance

1,000 or more posts: 25 chances
The member with the most posts: Bonus 5 chances

Other details:
1. The contest will be based on the number of posts on January 31, 2005.
2. Frivolous posts (“This is post #1”, “This is post #2”, etc.) will result in disqualification. An occasional “That was a funny joke” post in mindless banter is permitted. The final determination of what entails ‘frivolous’ is at the full discretion of the judges.
3. Conduct unbecoming to the online community including but not limited to vicious personal attacks, racist remarks, and links to adult websites can also result in disqualification.
4. It is our sincere hope that details 2 and 3 are common sense.

We are sure the guys in Mindless Banter would have loved names like Rookie, All Pro, and Hall of Famer, but since this is (mostly) an academic site, these were the names we decided. []
