I totally missed the photo challenge thread. I did check Screen Resolution thread, but didn’t check the 4th page.

Shame more people didn’t submit the eggs they’d found, it was brilliant fun searching around all the forums looking for them!

I’ve been a member on this forum for almost a year now and honestly didn’t realise quite how much useful information there was before now.

Thanks for creating the hunt and giving me something to do

10 years of SitePointing and finally won a place in a contest

tinybites · April 25, 2011, 4:02pm

D’oh! The egg I was missing was the one on Unobtrusively Zen’s profile, which I’m sure I’ve viewed. Just didn’t expect it to be on the far left…sneaky, guys!

It was a lot of fun to comb through the forums for these eggs. Learned a lot on the way, too. Though I didn’t necessarily sign up for an educational Easter hunt

Looking forward to having a Sitepoint ebook to add to my virtual shelf…it’ll be a great complement to the ones already living on my bookshelf.

Thanks again!

I went for all or nothing. Didn’t find all eggs, let alone the secret phrase. It was mean to hide #13 on page 27, and in a thread full of pictures of all things!

What was the secret phrase anyway?

rpkamp · April 25, 2011, 5:47pm

Yes, if we do this again we won’t hide them so far anymore. Page 27 was indeed a bit too much!

The secret phrase was: anonymous function (where egg 13, _, was a space, not an underscore)

php_daemon · April 25, 2011, 5:53pm

Hm, I think the underscore was a bit misleading too. One word being ‘function’ I was expecting the other to be the function name with an underscore in it - over thinking obviously. The fact that it’s a secret phrase, not a secret word, is enough to tell that there’s more than one word, imo. Or it should be empty, not an underscore

Anyway… Congrats to all the winners!

Congratulations winners!
And thanks to the staff that worked incredibly hard putting this together. You guys rock.

Oh man, I feel terrible. I could have got a T-shirt.

EnderMB · April 26, 2011, 12:59pm

Congratulations to all who won, and thanks to all those that took part.

scout1idf · April 26, 2011, 3:28pm

Congrats to the winners!!!

I found a couple but then my time became to limited. Maybe next time…

DarthGuido · April 26, 2011, 3:31pm

Congratulations to all. It wasn’t an easy contest.

molona · April 26, 2011, 5:49pm

Congratulations to all the winners… and those who didn’t submit anything… shame one you!

kevinjames · April 27, 2011, 8:54pm

Congrats to the winners, I wish I had spent more time on it… I never did submit what I did find, I should have, but it was not enough for anything anyways.

Kev.
