Not sure on the details of ensuring such a thing, but I had just been tossing the idea around in our office.

Probably won't do it now, because I suspect the views in this thread are fairly representative of the rest of the board.
Contests here hit the shitter after the 2nd million post contest. There were so many prizes it was insane. Contests have been a waste ever since...except...

There was one a while back that was actually pretty innovative. The winner of the contest was the last person to post in the thread and have noone else post behind them for 12 or 24 hours or whatever it was. That one was wasn't bad. I suspect it would break the 10 day rule now. I give it a for trying something different though.
