Grower of the Month March 2025

Sorry no money to come my way. This wasn't my first time sending them lists to fix. Maybe we should start a new platform that works. Likewise I always seem to find errors in printed works that should have been caught in the edit stage.

@Natrona, I'm willing to put in a small amount of time for the betterment of the site. Who do you even go to?

@ATLien415, @Natrona, can't delete old questions, either. scoreboard seems to be fixed? i've gotten 2 'points' sometime in last 48 hours.

And You, Old Pervert, would love to know them ????? ;))))))))))

I think you are in the wrong contest comment area, lol. who said i was old?

@m0use,

@m0use, for sure, wasn't messing around last month when I said I would rather win some land races 👽 feel like there were a lot of questions not attached to diaries this month too it would be cool if the questions you answered showed up on your profile too, but I know some of yall have 100s of responses or more

@ATLien415, Had about 20 solutions this month, seemd fairly normal as of late. 100s? I've gotta be over 3,000 at this point - not limited to questions attached to a diary. whether artificially fabricated or not, these contests had 100s of solutions for all three places up until mid or late 2020 (maybe, early 2021?), if i recall. Last couple years 10-20 leaderboard points can easily place 1-2-3. June or july 2020 had 200+ and then someone repeated that (bloombuster? can't recall screenname), and then i think @m0use repeated that feat with 200+? I had as many as ~175 one month, and that's a smallish number for back then. If the monthly user count back then doesn't add up to the scale difference in this contest, something backhanded was possibly involved. There were far fewer questions submitted after a little oddity occured - A bunch of clearly script-controlled questions were made but there was a syntax error in their automation, so it was a bunch of questions wiht html tags visible and broken up sentences - just incomplete and garbled nonsene in the text fields. They missed a bracket or semicolon somewhere, lol, and it created 1000s of questions with no coherent questions, lol. After that, there were far fewer questions to answer. It's nothing to be certain about, but sure was fishy.

Do the truffle shuffle!

@GrowDiaries, The contest rules state that a member may win once every 3 months. All_our_small_plants and m0use won in February 2025, making them ineligible for March 2025 prize slots. The solution is a quick manual review of a rolling 2 month prior of GotM winners IMO. Or apply quarters to the year and have each member able to win once per quarter, but know that sometimes we will see people win back to back months. Either way, winning Feb and March in a row would break either application of 'a member may win once every 3 month' rule.

@m0use, bin da ganz deiner Meinung. Und auch @ATLien415 dich verstehe ich auch, aber so wie gesagt jemand mit 1 oder 2 Punkte hat es dann auch nicht direkt verdient.

@m0use, @GrowDiaries, I actually looked and it would be me in first with 7, @Ultraviolet for 2nd with 5, and @Organoman for 3rd with 5 if you removed people who have won the last two months from the leaderboard. Not sure how it placed the tie for 2nd/3rd. Getting 5 questions attached to diaries with your answers is not like they weren't trying. That is a fair amount of effort to do.

@m0use, That bird has seen things.
