Patchou, all the SQL data is still there, right?

You could do a very simple fully automized script... Just put up a page that asks users to fill in their emailaddress they used with the contest. After a user submits an emailaddress the script looks in the database if there is data from that address, if there is it sends the heatmap to the specified emailaddress. Just needs a check to prevent sending the heatmap to the same address multiple times so others can't flood your email with it.

Involves a bit of coding maybe, but no security risk (as far as i can see) and 100% automized.

Good idea, but about flooding the email: If one knows someone else's email address, he can flood it without need of this heat map, can't he ;)

My suggestion, :), for the next release of Messenger Plus!, add a feature to it (of course the update shouldn't be very late) that when user firstly signed in WLMessenger after installing new Plus!, a pop-up appears and says

"You played Messenger Plus! 6th Anniversary Contest, right?We generated individual click maps for every player.

Do you want to view yours?

Yes       No

Meh, that's just more work, and the reality is that nobody besides some people on this forum actually care about their heatmap or have a clue what it means. They just wanted to win free stuff.

In my opinion, when they get the clue about heatmaps (or clickmaps), they will view it. I think,  the number of people who don't care it is few compared with to the ones who will care it.

agreed...
and you can have some sort of a timer so it won't send again within, say, a day.

I don't believe it's another contest, more like a new featureful release of Messenger Plus.

somehow I doubt it, do note the existing heat maps. . .
I doubt that people can continue playing like that after seeing those heat maps.

If you won in the second half of the week, then your prize was shipped only this week due to extra delays from CafePress. Sorry about that. You should get your package within two week, maximum.
