I will be calculating who the top posters of each main forum for the year of 2013 (Quantum Mechanics, Biology, General Engineering etc...). I will then pool all the top posters and randomly draw a winner (you just have to trust me). The prize will be a $75 Amazon gift card. We also have a $50 gift card for second place!


Just for fun I will also release a table of the top 5 posters of each forum for 2013.

You have two weeks! Go! :smile:

* this just in, a generous anonymous member has donated $50 as a second prize!

I suppose these posts require actual content with merit, not "thanks!". "yeah", "great", "me too".

What, precisely, does "top poster" mean? Kindly provide a detailed description of such an entity.

It's bad enough to have people begging for thanks without giving them even more incentives.

What about a top thanks award?

Most of the top thanked members are nominated for the homework help award :)

9 days left! There are some close calls!

The trick is to just report a post every 60 seconds and win top poster in the Mentor's Forum.
