Well done Sensei. Did you not sleep last month?

[Moonrakers]

I decided not to even try this competition as there was always going to be somebody with WAY too much time on their hands, and at 5254 tags I was right.

Congrats sensei and spend the money wisely (I.E. on beer)

[Africanteacher]

5254!

I thought I'd be top ten with my 10 or so tags! Son of a .....!

Sensei good job. It's pretty easier now to search through forums, innit?

Exactly. This is Thailand, where people pay to do volunteer work.

[sensei]

Thanks, everyone!

I have to warn you. Tagging is habit forming.

I tagged this one too!

I did my part and added my first ever.

We are testing a new version of the tagging software, and it is currently only available to Advanced members (over 500 posts).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks George for letting me know.

One issue I have is the 10,000 Baht Tagging competition that was announced a few weeks ago I find this a little unfair to those like myself who spent some time tagging for the benefit of TV to now be told we can no longer tag in the final weeks of the competition due to a software upgrade.

Any news on who got the 10,000 baht or how we are notified of this.

Thanks Shaun.

Strange the winner only had 356 posts my Tagging stopped at least 1 week before the dead line

By my estimates, you averaged one tag every 7 minutes 30 seconds. If you slept 8 hours each night, then it would be every 5 minutes you were awake. Truly incredible!

Does that include the time he apparently could not post Tags due to the software upgrade issue something odd here indeed.

[sensei]

Thank you, George!

I have just checked my account online and I would like to inform you that I have already received the prize money.

Allow me to say thank you for your generosity and your ingenuity in coming up with this experiment/project. I certainly hope that what I did helped the forum and rest assured that you haven't seen the last of my tagging activities.

More power to you and to Thaivisa.com!

Sensei

[Moonrakers]

Beers are on sensei then?

[dantilley]

Will this competition be repeated in another month?

[mc2]

condolences to Condo_bk

who did a tremendous effort but ended up with a tshirt.

i wonder if he pulled out half way

No, I did not take that into account. Estimating that he only had three weeks before the change of policy restricting tagging to members with more than 500 posts, then my figure is adjusted to an average of one post about every 3 minutes 50 seconds (again assuming 8 hours of sleep each night).

One every 4 minutes for 16 hours per day?

Somebody has been very clever with their computer, methinks.

Well done sensei!

Sensei

You're the one who should be thanked for generosity. You provided 3000 more tags than your nearest rival.

I just knew there would be some fanatic doing the competition justice so I gave up after a few days. I can see now I made the right choice.

Who's going to be tagging the threads now?

[dantilley]

Exactly - this should be a monthly thing I reckon if the tagging is to continue...

[neverdie]

I'd like to know how many tags were added during the whole competition?

[sensei]

Hello neverdie,

I copied all the tags in the tag cloud page and pasted it into a word document.

It required 55 pages for 2291 lines.

Word count result: 28,434

If there are 2 words for each tag, that would be 14217 tags.

Somet tags are just single words while the others are three or more.

It must be close 14217.

Yes, I have a lot of time in my hands...

I'm still waiting for a reply from George about how to claim my prize. Have the other winners gotten theirs?
