Its 30 mins a week when all goes to plan (Which lately has been rare as working through some minor bugs from recent changes)... Been a lot of incremental programming over the years when (usually I'm bored or annoyed about something not working well) ... The update it self takes about 1 min to run once all data is scraped from HC, Scaping all entries takes about 15 secs ... the main job I have these days is putting in the business type when people forget to enter one (which unfortunately is often) which is now partially automated and some data formatting of the Diary (Dates) minor prettying up ... yes mostly automated. Appart from the above the bulk of the time is taking up with screen shots and uploading to HC but this is also starting to get automated to some degree. It has to be else I don't have the time It would probably take me a day to do it all manually.
Some things I have had to sacrifice (unfortunately).. such as
1. I used to do Spellchecking on everyones entries
2. I used to highlight my recommendations of the new tips
3. I used to put commentary around the movement on leader boards
4. I used to Produce a breakdown of winners per person ie 25% gainers , 50% 75% Baggers etc etc.
5. Used to proactively chase down a lot of incorrectly formatted entries in the early days.... but came to the conclusion that If a person can't be bothered formatting it correctly then ... well ...then I can't be bothered either. But I will Put up insert manually for newcomers who have made a typo etc Its just a time thing ...nothing personal.

I know i have said it many times but thanks for providing the tipping comp here. There is really nothing else like it....not just on HC but any forum that i have seen.
I think simple is best anyways....easy to see and easy for newbies to understand.
Obviously the best part of the comp is we all get to share in the wealth creation!
