Woho! That's amazing!

It is
Maybe I'll even hit a top poster for the month /j

Also didn't it drop to 3 from 5?

Yes I think so
Don't know when that happened exactly but it has been only 3 for a while now I think

I wonder why it dropped

I found the announcement. It dropped after September. So September was still 5 and then October was 3. Wait I got that wrong. The announcement is at the beginning of the month. So august was 5 and September 3. Anyway. You get it ^^°

When people commented on the change firn replied:

The parameters for this feature have changed by something out of my control, so I am adjusting the numbers to bring back some balance.

Outside of posting, was there other requirements? The way it's phrased says that tocme

I don't think there is another requirement.
I think what firn had been trying to say was that it gotten to easy to place and win in the contest because of the overall less posting. Especially place 4 and 5.

Or there's a large gap enough that it looks weird?
560/664
104 more posts to go

There were months where people with less then 100 posts placed 4th and 5th so I get where firn is coming from ^^°

That'll do it

Kuuki and I are getting in "fights" over in the avi games
