I second the kudos that everyone is shouting out. The interaction on this thread has had me laughing out loud at times and shedding a tear now and then as well.
It was the good humor of the participants (most of them) that got me to post the very first time and I've appreciated it ever since.
If it wasn't for a few core groupies that vumped all night and day or set up the stats so we had an idea of what we were doing to whom and when, then I'm not certain this thread would have had quite so "solid" a reputation. 
A big Browncoat hug to Ray, Sister, Rallem, Leopard, FlatTop, Wytch, Fillygirl, and anyone else I forgot and didn't mean to. And especially to FlatRich for giving me something on which to focus my obsession with Firefly. 
And a welcome to all the newish folk who have been stopping by - wish we had a chance to know you better. 
You all rawk!!

basking in the hugs, I am.
Thanks FlatRich - the poll will be missed.
It gave me, anyway, the feeling that I could at least do SOMETHING all day long to show my love of Firefly.

True, it was the statsmeisters, the vumpers and Flyvote that provided the daily energy that kept it all going for, what, two years?

Pats on the back to all here who gave the time to.....how did Sister say it, vote for the "ship that could". Feels very good to see those results and know it was a group effort. Sometimes it was an effort.
Just got back from the AMC Starship tournament and Serenity in the final round just hit 1000 to the Enterprises 632. Not bad. I just worry about the first round against the nerfherder and wookies ship, where we don't even have a 200 vote lead anymore, it used to be over 300.......
If ya don't have time to do the 2 minutes it takes to get through the tournament, just vote for Serenity in the first round, that's the one we could use the help on.
Once again, kudos to all on the Rich Labonte poll, those results are awesome! I'll kinda miss the daily thread on here......something I really got used to.

Slept in 'til 1:30pm, BUMP!
That was delicious, goin' to my bunk around midnight, gettin' up in the afternoon. A real battery-recharger. Spent the last hour or so checking emails, enjoying the thanks and kudos of some of the Browncoats along my Paul Revere route.
Still odd, though, not to be setting the alarm every hour for the *next* vote.
Glad to see the same ol' vumpers here, though!
It's gonna be tough to find anything worthy of our collective efforts, after Rich's Poll. As has been observed, even TV Tally is far, far too easily cheated on (the only way to stay competitive). Plus, you can only vote on it (legally) once every 6 hours, which makes the vumps fewer and farther between.
At any rate, it's been a great honor to be among such shiny, dedicated folks. I'll still be around; checking this thread is a bit like a ritual for me, keepin' up with my buds.

I voted for those space ships but have to say that while I probably would have voted for Serenity all the way through no matter what I am a little disappointed that some worthy ships like Voyager, Starbug, the Eagle from Space 1999, and Jupiter 2 were not in the competition. My list could go on, but it won't.

I also have to wonder about the pairings NEVER changing! I mean, I know Serenity would win no matter what the pairing, but it's as if the poll is on autopilot.
WHO'S FLYING THIS THING?!
Oh, that would be US.

Feels weird... I don't have anything to say that wouldn't be redundant, so

I would remove the stupid winnebago from space balls, and put in the Jupiter 2 from the original Lost in Space, and remove the Event Horizon and put in the Eagle from Space 1999, and remove the Borg Cube and put in the Galileo from Star Trek the original series and remove the Heart of Gold and put in the Galactica, or even a Viper. None of your suggestions were bad either. It's just kinda hard to take it seriously when they include an RV when voting for coolest ships.....

I agree. Maybe we should develop our own poll, but then again wouldn't we be biased?
