Moonrakers Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 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.

sensei Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks, everyone! I have to warn you. Tagging is habit forming. I tagged this one too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mali1964 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) 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 Topic here http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Tag-Button-t246173.html Edited March 4, 2009 by Mali1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oevna Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks, everyone!I have to warn you. Tagging is habit forming. I tagged this one too! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 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!

Does that include the time he apparently could not post Tags due to the software upgrade issue something odd here indeed. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Exactly - this should be a monthly thing I reckon if the tagging is to continue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensei Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I'd like to know how many tags were added during the whole competition? 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... Edited March 11, 2009 by sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybits Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm still waiting for a reply from George about how to claim my prize. Have the other winners gotten theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
