I am not competing anymore. What you probably don't realize is that I would have won the original contest and in under 24 hours from when I started it. It wasn't a month long contest, it was originally first to 1,000 points and they changed it right when I was only 300 points away, just 11 hours into the contest. Yes, I was asking questions. People often do that on forums. If you would have read all of my posts you would have seen that I actually did contribute a wealth of knowledge to the forum as well. I participated in the dicussions and brought the facts to the table. Yes, I was trying to win the competition and I would have been one of the winners if the rules were not thrown out the window with no disregard to those that put so much time and effort into competing right out of the gate.
For Matthew, he was doing nothing but the same. He kept asking about electronic information such as digital cameras, laptops, you name it. Obviously, he was just doing it to obtain more posts but nobody said anything to him. There were at least another 5-10 people doing the same. I have been singled out simply because I made about 10-20 similar posts but the remainder of the 300 were all exceptionally unique.
He is a direct copy and pasting of one of his posts and my highly informative and in-depth reply:

Like Fryman already stated - "They should have put on a contest for the best post and not the quantity of posts if they didn't want people to make a lot of posts." Honestly, what did they think was going to happen when you have what essentially was made out to be a "post contest" per the original rules? If the staff really thought my posts were spam they would have deleted them all by now but they didn't. IMO, they should because I am sick of hearing the complaints. Let's just move on. This is 12 hours in the past now. Like I already said - "You don't need to worry about me competing. I am not competing any longer."
Good luck to those that are!
