Sounds like you follow my philosophy......."when in doubt, bribe them"

Question as someone pretty new to the forums…does it always take a while to get things tallied for this type of contest? And then to have to do the same for how many hatched. Seems like a nightmare for the admins.

Yes, it does take a while.

I am not 100% certain, but I believe that all these wonderful contests are run entirely by dedicated volunteers.

 

[casportpony]

Looks like they have given up on this one.... which is a shame

Apologies for the delay. I have not given up, I just need a solid 6 hours. I will try to get it done by Sunday.

Oh lookie, I'm at the top of the heap!
