I was wondering, what happened on the day where there voting record of 1365 was set? Why so many votes that day?
Just curious as if there was an answer we could try and repeat the feat.

Hiya Ace...it was a special "vote date"....organized about a month ahead of time
and everybody was supposed to go onto all the
boards they knew about...and ask friends/coworkers to vote on that one day... even one time. That's what the "big" day was about. Afraid if we use it too often people won't take part.

Actually the Dec 1st vote day brought in 1200 if I'm not mistaken. Our record (the record 
) was set when somone on whedonesque.com posted about the site. Shortly there after it dropped off the sites main page and our numbers fell to around 1000 and what they are now (just shy of 1000).
If I'm not mistaken.

Point of interest: insulting people don't work so well as an inducement to vote as you might imagine.

I'm sure the Brown Shirt comment was an honest Freudian slip ;-)
Flat top already noted that Xfiles is likely to pass QAF tomorrow, so I wont ;-)
I will mention that BSG is likely to slide into postion 30 tomorrow, so it will then be a "top 30" show.
Trapper John, MD got a bit of boost going into the Top 40, they are pulling down close to 300 votes a day; if they continue that trend for a very long time, they are likely candiates for a top 10 seat.
Not much to note about the Nomination poll; other than...
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood
has gone from 1135 (tie for last)on 12/26 to 222 today. Looks like it could be the work of a single fan. Wonder who (tries to look innocent; fails miserably)? O shucks, I just noticed that there wasn't a single decent kids show in the top 40, and thought... here's a good candidate when I saw it lingering tied for last place (one vote). Anyway, just mentioning it in passing (tries the innocent look again).

I'm afraid I can't help you on this one LeadB. Mr. Rogers always creeped me out.
Electric Company & Sesame Street were my fav's. Heard tell that everyone can see Mr. Snuffalupagus now. How sad.
Can we cast negative votes for Barnie?

To be honest, I didn't even notice that it was "shirt" not "coat." I'm just saying. When you're running a campaign to get your fellow fans to vote, you can't start insulting them (vomit? eww...) when they don't meet your expectations.

Not sure where to go with this... probably should just lean back in my chair, and smile... but it seems my fingers just won't stop...
The person who made the original brown shirt misstatement was not a FFF member ... not sure if that helps or not. And said person did appologize, for any who care to keep track of such things.
I personally prefered to interpret the vomit icon as a reference to the brown shirts (who are not commonly considered to have been very nice people; read here if you wish...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung
) as opposed to being directed to the person who made the comment. In any event, having said way to much for someone on the periphery of this issue....
BUMP.
