Jingthing Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Still the rise of the null continues. Have the others got your goat? Then vote NULL VOTE! Is the null contingent being organized to act as a block? That's the subtext here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 171 votes out of 160,000 members. Let the Einstein's work out the percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) 171 votes out of 160,000 members. Let the Einstein's work out the percentage. That's the problem here isn't it? This hasn't really set the forum on fire.If more users had been interested, it wouldn't have been dominated by Nancy's following, and what I'm going to politely call a special interest group from elsewhere on the internet.

I guess that explains why POTY isn't sponsored by Chang Beer. Edited December 28, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Go ahead. I ain't doing it. It has never been more than a tiny percentage of the membership. Ever. Also you can't directly compare year to year. The structure has been different year to year. Typically running the same poll for weeks and just cutting people out. This last poll here is less than a week as it reset at zero. Edited December 28, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Go ahead. I ain't doing it. It has never been more than a tiny percentage of the membership. Ever. As Soi Biker asked how many voted last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) I think more as a raw number but I already explained why. This current poll is less than a week and that one was running for numerous weeks. Duh. In any case always a tiny percentage of the membership. If you have a brilliant plan on how to get 10 percent of members to vote, great. Not sure this is the right thread for that though. We're in the middle of THIS YEAR'S event.

SoiBiker Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think before the next one we need to have some practice runs, to really go over things and make sure we have the details worked out and we're prepared and know what we're doing. Yes. We need POTY training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We need POTY training. No matter what you decide, no matter how brilliant it seems, a large number of people won't like it, and some won't like it in an ACTIVE way.

Jingthing Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Which reminds me. I think there might be a case for promoting THIS years contest to get a last wave of votes. Hmmm. I can't think of how except to put announcements in other subforums and I think that would be frowned upon. So never mind. It is what it is.

Jingthing Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Who reads stickies? I don't. This gets bumped all the time. If it was promoted by the forum, which it isn't, they could do some kind of graphic. But that's not gonna happen. A bit of fun. Over soon. Thank God!

As they say "be sure of what you wish for". Nobody believes me but I didn't wish it. I saw it wasn't happening this year and I stepped in. Others may claim it was happening, but it wasn't. People just wanted to kvetch and argue endlessly about every little detail, and nobody had the balls to say I will own running it to completion, set the structure, make the schedules. Also I didn't see a clean way to cut it down to a top 20 but Canuckamuck did that part ... basically the same thing, he had the balls to just do it. Canuckamuck could have done this to the finish in his own way, but he didn't seem to want to and nobody else did either. It's not the glorious blessing you might imagine.
