An End of an Era for the Weekly HSBI Giveaway

It looks like the end may be here for this event that has been running for 79 weeks now. Hive Watchers informed me that I am not running a giveaway because I am accepting compensation, and is therefore vote buying/gambling. As you see, today I am declining any payout on the giveaway. However, as a general rule I have been giving out more than I have earned from these posts. Couple that with the time commitment of three to four hours to put this together every week and overall decline in my compensation on my other posts recently... It doesn't make sense to move forward without a way to fund it.

I am open to ideas or suggestions, because the whole reason I put this together is to give back to the Hive community that has been so kind to me over the last two and a half years. So feel free to share any opinions or ideas to make it possible to move forward with this endeavor. I would appreciate any feedback or ideas.

Rather than go with the standard format, today I will only be awarding prizes. I will gather all of the entries from last week and get you all on the wheel of names. So good luck, and I hope this isn't the end of the party forever! But there will be no more contest or prizes awarded until further notice. Sorry everyone!

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!
