Well, sadly, Stagg hasn't finished getting the November posts to sort on the Member List page, so I can't tell you who the top 5 posters are for the month. Of course, I don't think it is too hard to get a decent idea.

Here is some other information that you might be interested in:

A little commentary/synapsis in leiu of actual statistics.
At the moment, it looks like Nichole, MrsPeacefrog and Silke are within posts of each other-- in the neighborhood of 225 posts. The bonus points make it seem like Nichole might actually be catchable. Can you believe that? And I don't think that the second pack is too much behind the first pack, so this is still anybody's game.

Staceys73, a new member of OUAL gets a special shout out. Since she got bonus posts for her New from Michigan thread, she now has more November posts than overall posts. :lol: Talk about being in the right place at the right time! (and if you haven't welcomed Stacey yet, go on over to her thread and say hello).

Someone (I'm too lazy to look up who at the moment) asked if people would get an extra point for starting a new thread. The short & technical answer is no. But at this point, it looks like anyone who can come up with a reasonably interesting thread can easily get 11 points for starting a thread. It looks like the likelihood of hitting 25 posts in a thread is pretty good for now. Hopefully that keeps up. ...maybe I'll have to think of some more bonuses for threads over 25 posts in certain forums. :scratch:

Or maybe I'll have to offer a reward for whoever PMs me interesting ideas of what other odd things can be rewarded.

OUAL as a whole has certainly been more active with the posting contest. And I daresay more interesting and fun, too. :ok: Go everyone! :rahrah:
