We are kicking some Hellish butt!
So Heavy As Hell has been rather busy over the past few days. I was starting to think that our altruistic campaign was going to be a pathetic failure. Then I started talking to Brian Wallace of Now Sourcing about it. Brian couldn’t believe that something so positive was going to fail and had such a low response. So he took it upon himself to help kick things into gear. Well we at HAH bow to the power of Now Sourcing, because HAH then kicked into higher gear than I have ever seen it. We suddenly (and I do mean suddenly) had a massive rush of traffic. Stories buried 20 pages back were hurled to the front page. Within an hour or two we had the front page countdown at least 50 stories.
I thought that Brain was done, but not a chance. Every morning since then (weekends included) story submissions and votes have continued ever since. Please know that I am not talking about Brian alone doing all of this. This guy seems to have an army that has continued to attack with relentless abandon. At the point of this article we only need 176 stories that need to hit the front page with 840 stories that have been submitted total. Can we make the 1,000 stories by Wednesday morning? Time will tell, but before I go into that I want to mention some hellish milestones we have passed during the time Now Sourcing has been helping move this thing ahead.
These are not Photoshopped in any way shape or form other than cropping the specific area important to the point.

Oh yeah, DarkNemesis618 has started an official HAH Twitter account. So sign up if you want to follow him for that. Just go to the main part of the site and click the big Twitter logo.
Now for the question of ‘Will we make it’? We will need to have 58 stories hit the front page a day to make this goal. This works out to 2.9 stories an hour if the site is active 24 hours a day during this time. Of course all of this is a totally rough average because as I am writing this we are 60 hours from the deadline. In fact, from the time I started this article to the time I finish it, the math will change. Plus I really suck at math, so this math is probably way off! However, the point is clear. We still have alot to do if you want to force me to shave my head for LocksOfLove.org after October first. What would be great is if a user other than DarkNemesis618 & myself hit the top of the top ten user chart. So let’s rock this thing!
