| The Active Network has announced the winner of our competition, the user "humor." "Humor" came in sixth place with a total of 208 posts posted between 6-4 and 7-5. Congratulations! Humor has won a Not-for-Resale boxed copy of Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition 25 CAL worth $3999. Methodology: Active Network has decided to disqualify the top three users listed below. In addition, the 4th user withdrew and the 5th also disqualified. The users were disqualified for spamming this past 4th weekend. In addition; some users have been posting on irrelevant posts as early as 2001. Spamming was explicitly against the rules as stated in our original post  here. The numbers listed below are the results of the query for the number of comments/forum posts that were posted from 6-4 to 7-5 on stories posted from 6-4 to 7-5. We compared queries for comments posted on headlines for a range of all dates, and also compared the numbers at the beginning of last weekend at the end. From this, we were able to track down the links and identities of the spammers. No hard feelings from our standpoint on you guys though... 1674        Mr. Dee (disqualified)
