If you look at the bottom of the soapboards homepage (http://www.soapboards.co.uk), you will see the number of members. All you have to do is guess when the 5000th member will join and win a £20 amazon.co.uk gift certificate.
The rules are:
This thread is for the actual competition entries. To discuss this competition, please do it in this thread (http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4149).
The number of registered members after 4900 will be hidden until the 5000th member registers.
All guesses are to be posted in this thread.
Each guess must include the exact date and time. So if you think the target will be reached on midday 1st May at 1.35PM, write 01/05/05 @ 13:35 (note the use of 24 hour format). We will allow the AM/PM format as well. Any entries not showing the date and time in acceptable formats will be declared void.
UK DD/MM/YY format will be used in the event of a dispute.
The time used will be BST. If no indication of AM/PM is donated, the entry shall be considered 24hr format e.g. 4.35 will be changed to 04:35
If two or more entries tie for the prize we will ask each party to guess to the nearest second. If there is still a tie, then the prize will be split.
If no entry has the exact date and time, the entry that is closest will win. Both sides of the timeframe will be counted, so it doesn't matter if you go over.
Each day you can have 10 guesses.
Any edited posts will be declared void, but will count towards the daily allowance.
Any cheating will result in instant banning - this is for fun and a small prize.
This competition is not open to staff, their friends and family.
This competition is only open to registered users of this site. A registered user in this context is defined as one "who has validated their registration via the activation link in the email sent when registering". If you can post, you are a registered user.
Users banned from the site at the end of the competition will have all their entries declared void.
Users spamming will have all their entries declared void. Sequential guesses will be considered as spam e.g. 12:01, 12:02, 12:03 ...
Winners will be notified by email and in this thread. Failure to respond within two weeks will result in the prize being awarded to the person with the next closest guess.
By entering this competition you agree to your details being used for publicity.
A member is defined as a user who has registered with this site but may/may not have activated their membership.
We reserve the right to substitute an alternative prize of the same value.
We reserve the right to amend the rules at any time.
All decisions are final.
With all that out of the way, here's a few hints:
On average we get 59 new registration per day. On weekends, this number goes down to a crawl. Breaking spoilers and press office releases can affect the number of registrations. Most registrations occur from 11:00 to 20:00.
