Sure, I am doing all of this stuff manually since the beginning and I am taking part in the giveaway as truthfully as any other member on the thread. Thanks for the advice. It'd be a crime and truthfully unfair to members if someone was using a script. I lack the knowledge to code a script for autoposting. I am not even sure if it's possible to do with PHP. I am just trying to stay in the game, as much as possible.
As for the timer, I noticed this when I started posting shorter facts. When copy-pasting shorter facts, I easily ran over the 5 per minute easily. So, I figured I should stop watch after 4 and then continue again. Earlier, I was posting some facts with images which took some time to copy and then embed the image. That's why back then, I wasn't doing 4 in a minute exactly, because those take some time to do, as I already explained.
Moreover, I sometimes miss comments from others while posting cause I usually fail to see the notification or wait for the set of facts to be completely posted. If I go to comment on the user's comment, I become distracted easily (my bad, for sure) and might just repeat the same fact, which I am actively trynna avoid. Explained this just in case someone decides to read into that as well.
Good luck!
I am more like reading, copying, pasting, checking, and it takes more time IG.
LOL! You know how it feels. I was using the stopwatch on my phone initially. Then, I remembered I had moved from Win 7 to 10 years ago and that, it has all these clock apps. Checked and there it was.
From 1937 to 1953, NBC’s Today Show had a chimpanzee co-host named J. Fred Muggs. It is estimated he brought in the network around $100 million.
@FrankZ do you remember there were two guys who got banned in Last Year's BF thread?
Because snow is composed of ice, it can be classified as a mineral. Water, however, does not fall under the same classification and is not a mineral.
Of the 9,000 Blockbuster stores that existed in the early 1990s, at least 10 Blockbusters are open across the U.S. Seven of those are in Alaska.
To save some some time while posting, I usually have the facts prepared a day before. It is more time consuming, I know, but, the posting becomes faster and I can try to avoid repetition as much as possible. All this doesn't save me any time for studies. I am just hoping the paper setter decides to post questions from this thread. LOL! If that happens, I'd prolly set the highest score.
I expect that we are all following the spamming rules, except @chitree.

How are you?
What exams are we talking about?
The Vatican had music that was forbidden to be copied and was only played twice per year. It was secret for almost 150 years until a 14-year-old Mozart heard it and transcribed it from memory.
Chitree is on a roll. When you and I weren't very active, he took up the mantle of holding the party singlehandedly!
