Perhaps some of you have heard of the infamous annual Thaivisa forum Poster of the Year (POTY) contest.

Last year I "won" it (with NancyL close behind, no butt jokes please) and what a wild ride it has been.

Opening shopping malls, making snarky comments at total strangers ... it goes on and on!

But enough about me.

During this year's nomination for POTY process (what, you missed it?) I chose

robertthebruce

as the best member active on THIS forum for the contest.

Right now, in the rundown round where the contenders are thinned to only 20 people, good old robertthebruce isn't gonna make it.

Unless.

Unless.

You go on over to the VOTING thread and vote for him!

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/878367-poty-rundown/

The way this works is that you MUST vote for one from Column 1 and one from Column B (Chinese restaurant like) but beyond that you can additionally vote for as many names as you wish.

Vote as you like as I wouldn't presume to influence your free will vote.

However ... IF you would like roberthebruce to be in the TOP 20 voting phase, he's gonna need some more votes!

If you do specifically want to support robertthebruce I suggest looking at the current results. You may wish to vote for other members but if they already have a high number of votes, if you want to really help robertthebruce you really should NOT vote for those people, as that will make it even harder for robertthebruce to beat the odds for a comeback.

Keep in mind you are free to delete your votes and re-vote up until the deadline of the voting.

Your move.

Well he got ONE more vote since then.

Maybe it would have been better to say DON'T vote for him.

Oh well!

Anyway, as I now in the hot seat to run the contest going forward, I won't be doing any campaigning for any candidate.

The DEADLINE for the current phase (narrowing the field down to a TOP 20) is

Thursday, 17 December at midnight, Thailand time

Then from there, it's on to the SEMIFINALS (from 20 to 5) and then the GRAND FINALE (picking the winner from the 5).

Happy voting.

Well, what do you know?

robertthebruce is surging.

2 or 3 votes may still clinch his place in the top 20.

It could happen.

Not saying it will happen.

But it could:

The POTY RUNOFF deadline approaches.

4 and 1/2 hours from now. Midnight Thailand time.

A mere 3 more votes for robertthebruce would push him in.

Just saying!

No matter what, JT, you still have to hand the crown over.

[Jingthing]

I call it my bear tiara!

[Patsycat]

I voted for him.

[Jingthing]

He made the cut!
It didn't see likely, but then he surged on the last day.

Now, we're in the SEMIFINALS.

Congratulations robertthebruce

He got my vote as well.

But so did Patsycat!

[Jingthing]

As I'm not supposed to be lobbying now, just an informational update.

robertthebruce is trailing in the SEMIFINALS, as expected as he isn't one of the forum's "big names" but really he is still in striking distance of squeezing into the top 5 GRAND FINALE.

All it might take is 10 or 20 more votes.

The voting for the SEMIFINALS ends Christmas Eve at midnight.

This poll also allows for changing votes and voting for multiple members.

If you want to help robertthebruce specifically, voting for him AND those ahead of him in votes will not help him. Pretty much everyone is ahead of him now.

Here is the current voting thread:
