Reading through the thread is quite amusing:

Mark, now is your chance - blame UR!

Patience.

I also quite like this one, posted some 8 months ago.

Nice +3 there


... is it too late to join the contest now?

[Robert]

Since the answers will never been made public and no prizes will be given anyway, the technical answer to your question would be: it's never too late

Well, we're only 2 months away from the 8th birthday party now... I wonder if the results will be one of the special birthday features? I wouldn't count on it myself...

[DrSpike]

Tbh they may as well just use the same questions for the 8th birthday contest.

however, you'll have to wait longer for your scores.

I'm not volunteering, but could Markos not just get someone else to do this for him? Assuming that all of the submitted entries (and the answers) are still lying around on his hard drive somewhere....

[DrSpike]

I've said that several times. The usual response is that it's too hard to find people to do it.

[Skanky Burns]

Our site only has, what, only several thousand people. Finding one or two people from that many is a big ask! Even finding multiple people to get results independently so as to reduce the extent that bias plays in the results...

Well, I've definitely volunteered before... I guess that wasn't clear.
