Question: can we have these threads locked after the winner is announced? Because it seems there are two or three pages of people who are determined to clutter up the front page by continuing to try and get in on the contest 18 hours after it closed as I write this. Are they hoping that the winner being announced was just a trick or something?
Seriously, can we start locking these? I mean, once the contest goes live, that's a sledgehammer to all other discussions for about 24 hours already. Do we really need to make it worse by allowing people to continue hoping that by posting on a message board they can circumvent the physical laws of the passage of time?
