This thread is closed. Finish it up by email. Had I seen this earlier, I'd have put a stop to it then. This kind of activity brought CPF to it's knees tonight and many who are simply just trying to browse the forums can't get anywhere. DO NOT DO THIS TYPE OF THING AGAIN ON CPF! It's bad enough that things slow down significantly in the evenings... why would anyone think it was a brilliant idea to jam it up even more with everyone trying to access the same thread at the same time over and over and over again?

I apologize Sasha and CPFers. This was way too ambitious, the other Pickanumber giveaways were unannounced and only 25 numbers. So they didn't cause the problems this one did.
Completely my fault. Hope the server is OK and that things get back to normal in good order.
My apologies particularly to all the participants who had such a difficult time with how I set it up.
That'll be the last one.
