Well, it's not really a contest, but here's a link I made a long time ago that I check every now and then.
I have never shared this with the members here up till now, but perhaps some of you guys and gals will find it useful.
It shows the previous several months and how many times the "Welcome" button was clicked for each new member that posted an intro thread. And of course it's sorted to make it easy to digest. It's not linked to from anywhere else yet on the site and its a quick n dirty job, not a real fancy page yet but does what it's intended to:

http://www.bananas.org/top-welcomes-earned.php
It might take a second or two to load as it is doing a massive amount of database queries and number crunching each time it loads.

This is a link where you can learn more about the Welcome system that I coded:

Thanks again for your support of the Org, for welcoming new members with open arms, and hopefully this nifty tool will help you get to know some of your new comrades here on the site.

Hi MediaHound! Thanks for this post, i just discovered the welcome button:) Very nice to see i'm in the 9th position :goteam:

Well, I have to make a little confession...I wouldn't be in any position at all if it weren't that someone copied my message to the Members introduction page. Thanks!

Sure thing Mar, good thing we try and keep this place fairly organized. ;)
As you noticed, the button only appears for posts in this subforum.

Tog I have something similar for the top thanked members.
You are by far the leader, bravo.

I am still amazed that out of 5,000 members, only 50 or fewer Welcomed the new members. I mean, how tough is it to click a button??? Seriously!

I'm sure my 4th place results are due to telling off-color humor, not for something more edifying.
