We're down to the final four days, so be sure you're eligible to win a REALLY COOL PRIZE.

A HUGE thank you to all who have put forth tremendous effort on this challenge. I'll post a status update later today, and update it every day until the challenge ends. If anyone needs details on the contest, let me know :-)

Where do the stats stand? Are we going to make it?

Thanks for the nudge - I got busy with some other stuff, and forgot to post!

Okay, the rough totals are as follows:

Comments/descriptions: ~1100 (goal is 2,000)
Checked boxes: 17,500 (goal is 20,000)

First, the good news is: if we do 800-1,000 checkboxes a day (which is close to our average), we can easily meet the goal.

The number of comments are still lagging, despite some herculean efforts by some of you.

I don't know if we will make the goal, although (I know I've said it countless times before, but it's true!) - if we all add a few comments to our favorite (or most despised) plants, we could easily meet and surpass the goal. Come on, everybody - we need your help!!!!!

With the downtimes we've experienced over the past couple days, I suggest we let the contest and challenge extend through the weekend. We'll count the contributions made from now through midnight Feb. 2nd, so if you haven't had a chance to join in the fun, now's your chance!

How are the stats now, GV? Gonna make the goals?

Hardly anyone in the Forums when I peek in... is everyone busy working on the DB?

Oh, goodness... a reprieve! I'll try to get in there and make a difference! Of course, you know my house looks like it was stirred with a spoon!...nothing new, I'm afraid.
