Our $1,000 gadget contest is officially over. Thanks to everyone that has registered and took part by posting in these forums.

In total there were 7,286 points earned between all members. Awarding points based on the quality of a post was a bit tricky, it was done in a automatic way (based on length) and a manual review of a percentage of everybodies posts. For example a post like "I reelly hoep this h3lps" would not score any points.

Anyway onto the overall winner, who can choose any one prize from the prize list is


/* drum roll please */

Case with 893 points, thanks very much for all the quality posts that you've made on these forums.

Once Case has chosen his prize (the Laser I'm guessing) I'll then do the draw of all the remaining prizes. I'm limiting the number of prizes a member can win to 2 to maximise the number of different winners we have.

If anybody would like to know the percentage chance of them winning, ask here and I'll post it.

Congrats again to Case and good luck to everybody in the draw.

Well, congratulations Case.
Al, if it's not too much trouble, let me see those percentages.

EDITED after seeing Al's post below:
Woohooo, not bad. Still, i bet case or amit will take 2 prizes both, but i can expect atleast one.

I'm off to search for Al's posts. Somewhere he mentioned he might write his story about how did he get CG to be extremely popular in just a year+the popularuty helped him get a few thousands worth of prizes to giveaway.

I won't post them all as there are too many.

For each prize draw clvezlys your chance of winning is 2.731265%

That's great! I'm excited to see who else might stand a chance of winning something.

Besides, I don't really care about my percentage, but it a great thrill (judging from the excitement) to see members getting goodies
