Since the previous thread is getting unwieldy but gnashing of teeth should still probably be going on I give you this hiatus thread.

Mornin,' vumpers.
4,612,636 votes were counted as of 10/12/07; not sure how many votes got through or were counted, subsequent to that, before Rich locked the site down.
Rich has declared his intention, at this point, to continue with TVVote until 5,000,000 votes have been cast in the Top 40. That leaves 387,364, +/-. (ETA: Mebbe. Mebbe longer. Who knows?)
Just using the last counted day's total votes ('cause I'm too lazy to work up a daily average for the previous week =^[.]~=), 12,658, as a divisor, that leaves just over 30 remaining voting days, once Rich restarts things. That's 30 days to reach 500k.
At last count, we were 63,286 votes short of 500k. You do the math. Actually, I'll do the math: That would require us to get at least an average 2,110 votes each of the remaining 30 days.
Good news is, if we manage that, we will have gone over 100 days at 1k+ votes/day.
I don't have to spell out the bad news.
Anyway, I'll still be vumpin' like a wild man, right up to the bitter end. No one is ever gonna catch us up; Xena would have to crank out 1,051 more votes, each day, than we did, last recorded voting day (1,263), for 30 days, to beat us.
So, let's go out with a bang! Meanwhile, if you know ANY Browncoats who have voted but stopped, 'cause there was no end in sight, or, who have never voted, let 'em know we're gonna need 'em, next weekend!
I'll be in my training montage.

Heynielsen.com is worth some effort, as it has grown enormously over the last few months (according to siteanalytics.compete.com), and is now got four times the traffic of richlabonte.net, and about the same as us at fireflyfans.net.
However, if you want a multiple vote fix, check out;
www.space.com/php/multimedia/spacemovies/
index.php?url=spacemovies_serenity_00.jpg&cat=spacemovies
This is a huge site (nearly a million visitors a month) where we are being beaten by Star Wars. I believe you can vote once a day. We were stuck at number 10 for a while, but a few Browncoats have managed to get us up to number six. There is more work to be done here.
BTW, just take the above URL and turn it into a new location item on your desktop. Click once a day, to get a needed fix.
Hey, does this make me a pusher?

The first hit is free...
I went, I bookmarked, I voted.

I only discovered the Google voting site 9/19 through this thread and since I'm retired and a partial agoraphobe I've had the opportunity to cast 238 votes before the shutdown. Looking forward to continuing when the voting site is back up. The least I can do for one of the best series of any genre ever created.
BTW, what does "vump" mean?

Welcome aboard, Josephus!
Vump means to cast a vote, then, post here to bump the thread (push it to the top of the threads list on the left side of the page).
Bote is the corollary, to bump the thread and then to vote.

Can I make a suggestion re the new threads?
Please don't think this is a post against your threads DaveShayne - as you're right, due to more vumpers, voting thread does get full quicker.
As Flat starts a new thread on Mondays, I feel, it doesn't serve much purpose opening a thread on sunday. I think it would be better if in addition to the Monday thread, there was a Thursday (Or maybe Friday) thread by either yourself or Flat.
I feel that would be more effective, it would break the voting week pretty evenly and it would keep consistency. By Sunday the threads pretty full anyway, whereas by Thursday/Friday it's not as bad.
Just my thoughts, not sure if anyone agrees.
