There goes the 2K barrier - easy wasn't it Next target is 3K, it too will be beaten, as will 4K.... - we are so many.

Beating Xena is our ultimate goal but remember, the journey is the worthier part. Lets enjoy the ride and take it one step at a time. I expect the Xenites, like Bonanza, will put up maximum resistance, they will not surrender top spot without a fight. We will not pass them by relying on their vote dropping, the onus is on us to increase our vote.

As to whether they'll let up on the voting I ask you this: Would you?

Whenever/wherever I have an internet connection, I'll be voting.

Way I figure, we Browncoats have the numbers capable of pulling in 5K a day - hell even 10K is not impossible. IIRC, The Signal has about 6000 subscribers to its podcast (great show btw), and if each of these people voted just once a day......

We have the numbers, its a matter of getting the word out & convincing people to vote.

Alliances are great, but not binding. They're more of a *kindred spirit* arrangement, if you like the other show vote for it, if not.....

I'm thinking we picked up a bunch of one (or maybe two) time voters from the plg on Week in Whedon. Those folk aren't aware of our friendly arrrangement.
I'm voting for Lexx (loved it when I saw it!) as regularly as I do Firefly.

Maybe some of the Bonanzai will lend us a hand now to help push /somebody/ (us) past Xena? Hey they're western, we're western...

FLATTOP, brilliant stuff with the stats, I look forward to reading them every day - thanks very much for your efforts.

Perhaps change the consecutive days to 2K as 1K is sooo last century

Also, can you please keep posting Bonanza's numbers to remind us what's in the rear view mirror.

Yeah, I'm giving some love to Lexx everytime I vote too. I think we picked up some new voters who weren't aware that we're helping out with Lexx also.

I vote Firefly, Lexx, BSG, and Charmed.And I nominate Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

When we make a concerted push, our numbers go up... and STAY there. Yes, they've made some BIG pushes, but they haven't had sustained, steady growth like we have, and we haven't had dropoffs from our peaks as long or steep as they have.

Well, after they hit the 250k mark, their numbers started dropping by about 150 per day. But then they put this push to get 2k, and have put up the big numbers again. I hear what you're saying, and you're right: they haven't been able to sustain like we've sustained. But my point is this: if this is how they act just to get to a milestone, how hard will they push if we manage to close within 10k of them? In other words, if they'll get near 3k just for LL's birthday, their voters are like to come out of the woodwork to keep that first spot. But please: prove me wrong. Hell, nobody wants me to be wrong more than me.

Just a thought--maybe we could try shuffling the name of the thread around. When you're used to seeing similarly named threads, you just stop seein' 'em, if you take my meaning. E.g., I'm not one of the Imponderablers, so I hardly even notice their threads. Maybe if we mixed things up on that front, we'd recruit some more. Also, adding a line to your signature about voting for Firefly might raise awareness.

Can you imagine how many votes that would generate for both? Just enough to get us all even. I'd like to see the voting if we were all neck and neck. I'm talking ludicrous numbers here. Then it would really be a fair contest.

Hopefully we'll get more recruits and be hitting around 3k, so if Xena do charge again we'll be able to fight.

Even if, IF Xenites go back to their 700-900 daily votes, we should still keep recruiting, spreading the word and hitting the big numbers. We kind of got caught with our tight-pants down last time when Xenites jumped from 700 to 1300 all of a sudden, let's not make the same mistake twice.
