We really need some more people voting. I posted a request on the Houston board a couple of months ago, but it was not very well received. By my count, there can't be many more than 200 of us voting for Firefly, by my count, and that is just silly. If we could get 2% of the people on this site voting _once_ per day, that would be around 600 votes. I am having trouble understanding why more people do not make the attempt. Granted, winning this poll may not help much in getting the show back on the air, but what can it hurt?

I realize that I am preaching to the choir, as it were. I wonder if there is some other way to encourage participation...

Yup, I hijacked your thread, RS,not that I'm sure anybody reads it... We had votes in excess of 1,500/day, back when we were behind Xena; since then, the challenge has been gone. I have done my best to present goals which would keep folks interested, but,at #1, we have no one to beat but ourselves... Which, we're pretty much doin', right now, but, not in the way I might'a hoped.

The voting members of any general fandom are always a miniscule percentage; even dedicated fanatics, like the Jericho Rangers, or, the Bood Ties fans, just can't muster more than a tiny fraction of a percent of their total fandom to vote. Those of us who do are the absolute diehards. And, I don't think we do it with any illusions about getting F*X to reconsider and make more Firefly; instead, it's a fun exercise in Fan Power, and, a valuable tool for making contact with other fandoms (like the laundry list I post beneath the Firefly stats, each day), in order to expose them to our show, and, mebbe, learn about theirs, as well.

I've recruited Browncoats from a number of fandoms through TV Vote; more have come over, either full-blown or casual, like some of the westerns fans, who have volunteered that they checked out Firefly, after watching us blow past in the Poll.

I'm hoping that this surge by Xena will help motivate some folks to get back into the voting; I miss the folks who used to vump with us!

Anyway, up on a soapbox VOMP!

In the Top 40, aside from Firefly, well, there's the usual laundry list: BSG, Buffy, Angel, Dark Shadows... Then, in the Nominations Poll, there's Moonlight, Surface, Red Dwarf, John Doe, and, The Pretender, at the least.

Brownies again for breakfast VOMP!

(Top o' the water nom!)

VOMP
The toothy one bites the dust

Upcoming Nom for the mysterious John Doe.

Buffy Support in full effect, until crisis is over.

Sis - I support Moonlight, John Doe, and Red Dwarf with Noms

I vote for FF (of course) Dark Shadows (for Ray) and now Buffy (they need the help badly) I used to also throw in votes for SG-1 (actually my favorite show, but don't tell the Surface fans LOL) sometimes.

Rouge - Appreciate the Surface support you are providing. We need it.

In regards to your comments, I have a couple of thoughts.

Like you, I have to wonder, where are all the Surface fans? We have over 700 people signed up at my site. But in the last year many lost hope and gave up. Still I would think if they loved the show they would be happy to put in 30 seconds once an hour while they are on their computers, if for no other reason, to prove that Nim and Surface aren't forgotten.

We are averaging maybe 80 votes a day though. so maybe 5 or 6 people are all that are participating. That's incredibly frustrating.

Especially in light of the fact that I mass emailed everyone signed up several times.

I just don't understand it. I swear Surface fans were positively ravenous a year ago. They were like Reavers determined to skin Kevin Reilly and eat his brain if he didn't bring the show back.

The thing that makes me the most curious is how is Xena doing as well as it is? The show ran it's course and ended before either of our shows, as I recall. It was an OK show, but didn't stike me as anything special, any more than any of those other types of shows running around that time.

Our shows both broke new ground.

A space Western?

A sea monster involved in a world domination plot?

I mean that's the kind of creative TV stuff all the networks should be jumping on, instead of No Deal or No Deal crap.

It's also the kind of stuff that inspires long term dedicated fans.

So, where did they go?
