Not bothersome, at all! I've been wondering the same thing! I'm guessing everyone has, it's just for whatever reason no one else has asked.

Remember, once you all find out who the winner is... ALL (but one) of you is going to be disappointed.

Isn't it better to not know who the winner is and still have hope that it could be you?

actually we figured Oprah took over ownership of MR, and well, you know how she is about giving away stuff that's good for us!

I was wondering the same thing, so I hacked the MR servers, poked around a bit, and found the following thread archived in the moderators only forum...

Alex:
Hi there fellow moderators. Hope everything is going well with you all. I've, and by "I", I mean "we", have a problem. Over in the Announcements forum we have that win an iPad thread. Well, it seems that someone over at Apple found out about another thread where someone said something negative about iPads and, well... they yanked the promo.

PilotBob:
Wow, that's not good. What are you going to do?

NetSeeker:
Terrible news Alex. Maybe we should write Steve Jobs and see if he can intervene.

NateTheGreat:
I'll put in a word through my media contacts and see what I can do...

[3 days later]

Alex:
Well, the news is not getting any better. No one at Apple will return my emails. Nate - did you really sell the iPad they gave you...? They're not happy. The shums in the forum are getting restless now and asking about it.

Pilotbob:
I'll say something there to pacify them for a bit.

MTravellerH:
Maybe something about a connection problem...?

Zelda:
No, we used that one in the last contest.

Pshrynk:
How about out of town, that always works.

Pilotbob:
Good one. I'll post that and buy a few days.

Alex:
Thanks guys. In the meantime maybe we can buy an iPad. Can I count on all of you to help with it?

[2 days later]
Alex:
No really, if everyone just puts in $10 or so we should be ok.

[3 days later]
Alex:
Now we're moving, we're up to $38.95 and a vintage replica of a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring (thanks Harry).

[4 days later]
Alex:
Ok, this isn't working. Anyone have any other ideas? I mean really good ideas. No matter how they act some of the shums, err, I mean participants, on the site are sort of smart and they'll figure it out, and some are downright scary, we really need to do something.

Ravenne:
Let's distract them with a world cup thread, that'll work for a few weeks.

Dreams:
I think we should be honest and just admit to them that the iPad was stolen from Alex's luggage while he was travelling.

montsnmags:
Sheesh, you all are forgetting the red button. Just push it,. go back in time, and erase the original contest post. Now, if you'll excuse me, Adrian seems to have lost the remote to the TV.

Patricia:
The red button stopped working since that day that funny private investigator was here and it got pushed so many times.

Nekokami:
Why dont we start a story or something in the forum, something to take everyone mind off of it.

Verencat:
Yea, something we can drag on for a long time...

Nate:
right, something to make them forget all about the iPad...

Alex:
I like it, who wants to write....

HarryT:
It can't be one of us, that would be too obvious.

RockLobster:
Good point Harry, we should get one of the great unwashed to do it.

Alex:
Hey, how did you get in here?

Zelda:
Yes, and we could give them something to ensure their silence...

PilotBob:
Good idea Zippy, maybe an iPad or something... errr nevermind.

Alex:
No, no, it has to be something we can give them, that is no cost to us, has a somewhat tangible value.....

DaleDe:
I know, we could make them a moderator....

Alex:
Great idea Dale, now who to pick. someone the others like.... someone we can manipulate.... who can be bought....

HarryT:
who tastes good deep fried....
