IHUB Posting Milestones

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

It being 5/15/15 we have to introduce the 15th Anniversary Celebration WAG Milestones Contest!!!!

Important stuff first - prizes!!!

1st Place - One year IiHub Message Board Premium with Ad Free option PLUS ADVFN Ultimate Trader for 6 months
2nd Place - Six month iHub Message Board Premium with Ad Free option PLUS ADVFN Ultimate Trader for 3 months
3rd Place - One month iHub Message Board Premium with Ad Free option PLUS ADVFN Ultimate Trader for 1 month

Basically a WAG is a take off on the more common acronym, SWAG (Scientific Wild A** Guess).

There's really very little science involved in our Milestone contests so it's more just about a "shot in the dark". Everyone will be guessing when post 115151515 will actually be posted. This number includes public messages as well as private messages.

The very unscientific part is that currently all Members can post unlimited AND send private messages for the next 10 days or so. After that it goes back to non-subscribers posting a max of 15 posts per day and no PMs. Very tricky to try to use stats to make any decent guess. That's why it's called a WAG. :)

From the iBox:

OBJECT OF THE WAG CONTEST: (for you Newbies - Wild A** Guess)
Accurately predict the date and time that post #115151515 appears on iHub. Those are the digits at the end of the URL in the bar at the top of your browser.
In other words we are looking for the closest guess as to when the following post will occur:

RULES IN A NUTSHELL (for those with an attention span of a gnat!).

Double check that your WAG has not already been chosen by another user by checking the database: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/milestones.aspx
You must reply PUBLICLY to a Moderator of this board. Private messages will be ignored.
You must reply in this format: MM/DD/2015 HH:MM:SS AM/PM. Example: WAG 01/01/2015 11:15:15 AM.
All timestamps are based on iHub (U.S. Eastern) time.
You are responsible for double checking that your entry has been accurately added to the database prior to the contest deadline. If you don't, then the entry in the database stands.
One entry per person.

OFFICIAL RULES OF THE WAG CONTEST (fot those who are a little more anal).
1. All WAGs must be posted on or before June 15, 2015 at 3:15 PM (1515!) EDT. Any WAG posted after that time will not qualify.

2. The winning WAG is the one closest to the Milestone Post Date/Time, whether that WAG is before or after the actual Milestone Post. In the event of a tie, first prize will go to the WAG prior to the Milestone post.

3. The Milestone Post must be a public post, not a private message. If the Milestone Post is a Private Post, the Milestone Post will be the first Public Post AFTER post #115151515.

4. You must submit the WAG in this format WAG: MM/DD/2015 HH:MM:SS AM/PM. Example: WAG 01/01/2015 11:15:15 AM. If you do not specify AM or PM your WAG will be ignored.

5. If you pick a slot that has already been taken, your entry will be ignored.

6. To avoid confusion, 12:00:00 AM is Midnight. 12:00:00 PM is noon.

7. Once you have posted your WAG, you are not allowed to update or change it.

8. Manipulation is strictly prohibited. Any entrant in a WAG Contest on this board who is determined by the Admins of InvestorsHub.com to have manipulated their odds of winning a contest in any fashion will be immediately disqualified from that contest. (This has been enforced in the past contests, causing the manipulator to sacrifice their prize and to be placed in "IHUB JAILHOUSE" http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=38 )

9. Winners of all WAG Contests on IHUB will only be officially announced after the IHUB Admins have determined and verified final eligibility of any prizes in the contests.

10. Only ONE WAG per person is allowed. After the first qualified WAG, all additional WAGS by that poster will be disregarded.

11. Eligibility requires compliance with the User Agreement, including but not limited to rules of conduct and rules pertaining to account registrations and proper utilization of the site.
