Off topic but great cause
 
Guys - my wife is a volunteer for the Make A Wish Foundation. I'm sure you know all about it. If you click on the link below, then just click on the big button that will appear, you will add to the number of clicks and get us closer to a donation. It doesn't cost you anything and you don't go on any list. You just click. In fact, you can click as many times as you like. We're trying to get to a million clicks. The promotion is sponsored by a local Portland radio station.

Thanks.

How long did that take you? With my connection it took so long to "refresh" after each click, I only completed 5.

Just a few minutes. It definitely didn't refresh instantly, but it only took a second or two.

count me in for 51 clicks:)

You guys are great. Thanks a million. HAHA - get it? A million! :D

If you change the number at the end of the post, it appears to increment the number even more. Not that you'd want to do this, but I wonder why it would be designed this way....

It doesn't change anything. It defaults back to 1. If, when you click, it seems to add more than 1 it's because others are clicking at the same time.

Wrote a very little perl program to get you about 200 clicks/minute! :) I've set it to run 10000 clicks! ;)

MCJB Ump Tue Feb 12, 2008 06:01pm

It went from about 157,000 to over 160,00 in the 10 minutes that I was clicking.

:eek:

Past Tense ??
 
I clicked, or maybe I clucked. Is clucked the past tense of click?

Clucked is past tense for being too chicken to click. ;)

I just clicked a bunch of times and put us over 225,000. Almost 1/4 of the way there and we have about 3 more weeks to hit 1,000,000 to get the $10,000 donation. Thanks again guys for all your help.

Mark Padgett Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:17pm

Guys - not only are we closer to 1,000,000 clicks, but I'm almost at 6666 posts! I need to get a life. At least, that's what my wife tells me. :o

DonInKansas Thu Feb 14, 2008 01:45pm

I shared this with another board I frequent. Good deal for a good cause.

Mark Padgett Fri Feb 15, 2008 03:21pm

Over Half Way There!
 
Just checked and we are well over 500,000! Thanks again guys for all your help. I know we can get to that 1,000,000. Keep on clicking. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/2thumbs.gif

mightyvol Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:43am

I have guys clicking at other forums as well. Well on our way. Nothing will stop us.

Mark Padgett Tue Feb 19, 2008 04:06pm

Guys - I just checked again and we're over 845,000! Remember, if we get to a million clicks, our state Make-A-Wish Foundation will get $10,000 in donations. Thanks again for your help.

ILRef80 Tue Feb 19, 2008 04:20pm

Up to 848,725!!

Mark Padgett Wed Feb 20, 2008 12:22pm

GUYS - WE WENT OVER 1,000,000 THIS MORNING!!!

In fact, my wife was on line when it went over and saw the clicker hit that number.

That means our state Make-A-Wish Foundation will now get $10,000 in donations. Thanks to all of you who helped. To those of you who knew about it and didn't help - I hope all of you get that Molalla coach in all your games. :o
