Mine's Julian, but you can call me Jules.

Mine's none of these... I think this giveaway has caused a lot of non-photography threads to emerge.
I think these should be stricken from the calculations for the giveaway. I think they're good threads, but would we have still been starting em off in a non-giveaway month? Camera: Nikon D70 Level: Eager Amateur Area of speciality: Sceneries Area of Learning: Portraiture

I hear your point, gd and I agree somewhat...
However, I guess these off-topic threads do make Shuttertalk a more fun and unique place - and I wouldn't want to penalise those who contribute to those discussions. The rules of the giveaways have already been set as well, and it would be slightly unfair if I changed them now... Maybe next Christmas...

well clearly I do post in those threads...
but my point is not that the threads are poor, indeed I said that they are good threads... it's just that the proliferation of such threads has only happened once the announcement occurred. Before the annoucement, the category was full of actual general questions etc that gave the site a feeling of community. The questions being asked that are too general even to be in the general category. These appear to me just to be to get the giveaway, clearly. and for that, I felt compelled to post, because I don't want cynical questions popping up like 'what's your favourite colour'. You're spot on colin, people should post as if there is no prize... for sure. And i'm not meaning to be a drag, it's just the the threads themselves have no other purpose. Like posting a picture of all white. I'm sorry if I'm the only person with this opinion. I'll only state it once.

Actually I got the idea for the letter-change thread from a guitar forum I visit. They have many such threads in their general chat forum, and it gives the place a sense of community, a little bit of levity, and a small break from the norm. I thought it would be fun to try that here too, and the prize giveaway was just a motivator, not the primary reason.
That being said, they also have tons of threads relating to guitars and the playing thereof. It would be great if we could match that level of content over here relating to photography and cameras. _______________________________________ Everybody got to elevate from the norm!
