Not to be rude or anything, but posting that in an in-progress contest thread is just going to lead to confusion, and as far as I can tell, the runner of this contest hasn't even said he'd like to use that. I'd probably suggest pming him about it, though I would still suggest not using it for a contest where it wasn't announced at the beggining.

While I laud any attempt to simplify these giveaways, a web app or google doc does not simplify it since the accounts have to be manually verified to ensure that their account age meets the requirements of the contest.

No thank you :p it would be way to much hassle at this point with already 200+ people who are wanting a copy just not worth it sorting everything out already will be bad let alone having to look and check on 2 different things. Also the problem with a google doc is that anyone could join even a spam bot or hundreds of them.

Are you guys serious? Yes I counted them. I painstakingly went through every single poster that posted, checked their registration date and lunatic status, and posted them into that google doc. I had an accurate count, and accurate record of all who wanted in, and was working on some fun stats. "no thanks"

See, if the federal government could just check everyone's "lunatic status" when they tried to purchase a gun, we wouldn't have to worry about gun violence so much...

... Getting back on topic, those odds are still amazingly high!

Don't get all huffy, if you had said Script I have done all this work can we have it as a extra ? I would have said hell yeah nice going ! but you had only talked about having it as the main way to post as being in the giveaway and all that stuff, I would put it on the front page if you said please could we have this on the front page ? I'm just keeping track of everything and adding some fun stuff in to help you out ect...

Also I'm tired and was working late tonight so higher brain function for me right now is lacking if you I read your previous post wrong :P

You didn't read anything wrong in-as-much as completely disregarded what I posted. You could have taken two seconds to click the link instead of just saying no right away without even thinking about it.

It's not like I'd waste your time and post a google doc with two header titles and call it good.
