I was just looking at the winners of the last few promotions. I don't think your theory holds up.

And yes, as Claire stated, this is the place to voice your concerns, opinions, complaints about Javaranch. But this isn't a suggestion box. The powers that be don't just take all these suggestions and discuss them at the next board meeting. There is only one person, as Ko Ko stated, that really makes the rules. He does take suggestions from his Staff and members but he has the final word.

I have been using these forums for years. I've never seen any attempt to install spyware or have noticed any popups (or popunders).

Is there really a fair way of picking winners for the books. Any simple method (which is best, so we don't have to wait until the technology is archaic to find out the winner) has ways around it. For instance, if a rule is made that you have only one chance to win, no matter how many posts, then people will create many memberships with different email addresses (easily done with Hotmail or Yahoo! etc.)

Nice site. A bunch of annoying popups including an attempt to install known spyware. I think you need a better host.

Hi Claire,
Why don't build up a site that is similar to the Ranch so that you can set up your conditions out there... This is Trailboss(Paul Wheaton)'s site and he is the one who can set up the rules and conditions...
One of the important rules of the Ranch is "be nice"... So why won't we be nice and try to win books by posting eligible posts? I do believe if you are nice and your posts are eligible to win, you will surely win one day... I suggest you not to be discourage...
All the best...
