Please remember what the core guidelines of the contest were. Those of you who read carefully and worked hard accordingly had the highest chance of winning. Mainly, many users didn't not post very many articles, if any, which greatly hurt their chances unfortunately.
Here again are the contest guidelines, just for clarity's sake:
[b] 1. 20% – user’s articles published before August 22, 2009
2. 50% – quality and quantity of user’s articles published between August 22-26, 2009
3. 30% – quality and quantity of user’s article comments and forum posts between August 22-26[/b]
So, without further ado, a great big drum-roll please as we announce... our... winner!
