That must have been depressing ... I went through to count them but reading them all (or any of them...) would be just too, too much! Poor you!
I am signing off at 3,000 posts by the way as I have stopped enjoying the chat forums, but like Tony Blair, I want to go out on a round number!
I may still post stuff in the test bed though as that's the bit I like best! Assuming this place is still here and I have not been banned or put down by then...
Yours in jest...

Spare a thought this year, and remember: JUNKMALES aren't just for Christmas...
Don't you dare leave! You're one of the boundary-pushers on here and this forum definitely needs a few of those (KPs mental allegations notwithstanding!)
Why aren't you enjoying the forums anymore? getting a bit repetitive? Too many opinionated gits like me on them? What?
No, I've nothing against any other contributor far from it, the more the merrier of all types and styles. That for me is the whole point of the forums.
I just need a break I guess!
Whatever it is that is in my particular tank, well, the fuel gauge is very low...

You'll be sorely missed! Even though I've not been on here as long as the old guard, from the replies I've had from you, you're one of the few I respect. Still, it's going to take you another couple of weeks to hit the 3000, so you might change your mind by then!!
Such a limited vote, and mutually exclusive. I would guess that a large part of it is luck. But if you can never even get placed, I would suggest that your captions, if not exactly innapropriate, then just don't grab the attention of the judge.
But then, your scripts may be fantastic, and you might be really nice to cats, and stuff.

Warning: Do not look into the light sabre when switching it on
Something is very wrong here, quality contributors are not picking the obvious answer relating to my misunderstood comedic genius... they are all against me, after all, so it's true then... !

Ah mr. rage, finally you begin to live up to your name, a bit of anger!
Use the injustice of us keeping down your comic genius to greater improve your skill!
Seriously don't get disheartened, i beg of you, your posts are the funniest and most revelant remarks on the site. Make your next caption SO funny that the judges cannot ignore it!
Shooting fish in a barrel is actually alot harder than you'd think.
besides it's like federer encouraging henman to stick at tennis, i know i'm the funniest creature on the planet! So why not give everyone else a helping hand!
still not won a bloody caption though

If this post is for real, then a winning caption's best quality is not that it is funny, but best describes the product.
These competitions are only ever run when the company's own marketing people cannot think of a suitable slogan for their product.
So they widen the net to the public, so they can use the slogan and make millions from it. Whatever the prize is, is a very small price to pay.
Think of the most popular advertising slogans around:
You can do it if you B&Q it.
Every little helps
Good Things Come To Those Who Wait.
What's in YOUR wallet?
Good With Food
(this is clever as it has a double meaning: eg: 'white wine is good with chicken', so they are saying the Co. is good with ALL food. Yet the phrase only has 3 words)
For more, just pay close attention to TV ads.
I once won a mountain bike from Asda by guessing how many Danone pots filled an Asda trolley, but their old slogan "It Asda be Perfect" was from a competition winner too.
Wow! I'm not used to praise like that!
YOU can be Henman... I'd rather be Evonne Goolagong...
