Help Celebrate our Anniversary - Find party chimps, and win a C&S shirt!

Update: We have 5 winners! Congratulations to volunteers @Orohena , @jurassicworld , @Boleyn , @zoogirl1 , and @hoothoot !! Thanks to all who participated, we hope you had fun celebrating with us!
To help celebrate our one-year anniversary, some very special chimps will be arriving over the next week to party with us. 😃 Keep an eye out for these party chimps -- 10 in total -- in various discussion threads here on C&S Talk. Find them all, and you could win a free Chimp & See t-shirt!
Here's how this game will run:
-
Starting today, party chimps will begin to appear throughout Talk. We'll let you know here as the new ones arrive, and they'll stay until the game is over.
-
Then, all you have to do is find them! (Hint, check threads that have been pinned or featured.. and maybe some that aren't?!) They won't be too hard to find; they're here to party, after all!
-
When you find a party chimp, keep track of where you found it. Be sure to keep it to yourself - please don't spoil the fun for others! The last party chimp(s) will arrive on 4/29. After you find the last one, you'll send a message using the submission link below and tell us where you found them (the URL and/or name of the page is fine). The game will end after 5 people find all the party chimps and tell us the correct location. Those 5 people will win an official Chimp & See t-shirt!
Good luck!!

Keep an eye out for these guys around Talk (and the ones on this page don't count!). If you see one, make note of where you found them. More of their friends are on the way, and at the end of next week, you can submit all 10 locations for your chance to win! Have fun!

Hahah, good! No worries, there is still plenty of time to look. :>
How are others doing? We might be persuaded into dropping a hint or two...

Glad you got your answer. For the record, if it's one of the ten that end up on this list (all 10 will be revealed by Friday), then yes, it counts. Hopefully we don't have any uninvited guests crashing the party. 😃

Oh, I see. It sounds like maybe your browser is showing you older versions of this page. That happens in Talk sometimes. Clicking refresh (or posting, as you found out) should ensure that you're seeing the most updated version. 😃

Can't seem to find # 6 but I feel like I have read the whole discussion board. I did not lose hope yet, though.

Hi @mutiertespinne,
please keep in mind that all open discussion boards might be a hiding place. 😃

@zoogirl1 you can refresh the page also by clicking on the round arrow in your browser or by pressing F5 😃

@zoogirl1, I have the same problems. I need to refresh the page repeatedly before something happens.

He says he baked it himself, but we have our doubts!

Just in time to blow out the candle and make a wish for the fun and excitement to continue this year at C&S. We couldn't have done it without you, and we hope you've enjoyed celebrating our success as much as we have!
Who just arrived?
Party chimp #10:
Now, if you've been playing along, you'll want to know where to submit your answers for the contest. After you've found all 10 of the party chimps listed in this thread, click the link below (also in the first post of this thread) and follow the instructions to fill out the form. Good luck!

Thank you, @ksigler for setting up the chimp party, designing the party chimps, and hiding them so good that I did not find No. 7 and 10 until now (but I cannot submit answers anyway)!!! Did you find them all?
Please submit your answers here: http://cands.polldaddy.com/s/party-chimps

Thanks to all who have submitted answers so far! If you haven't submitted yet, it's not too late. 😃
I hope everyone has had fun exploring talk in search of the party chimps. Keep an eye on your messages (in your profile, or the little envelope in the upper right corner of the screen here) and email for any notifications.
