Comments are welcome in this thread....but don't forget to cast your vote. :)

We sure do have a great group of people here. I love how we all pulled together and pooled our resources and creativity. :)

And CB opens up an early lead!

lol not for long tho ;)

Only 8 total votes so far, though......

Get the word out to those once-in-awhile lounge visitors.....we need their votes.;)

^Bump^
C'mon ya all, get off your duffs & vote. BJ

I'm perfectly capable of voting whilst on my duff, thank you :D

In fact I am on my duff right at this very moment .... I can multi-task :D

I do some of my best work on my duff. Now that I think of it, I do pretty much ALL my work on my duff

Duffman................

(The Simpsons fans know who I mean....) :D

lmao Maxx ... now there is a superhero I can look up to :D

:eek: Well apparently people have trouble voting on thier Duff, hell you jumped two votes after I posted it Joe. BJ

You scared them into action BJ ;)


:D

I bribed em. I have no shame.

but did you do it whilst on your duff? :D

I duff, I duff.

:( Geeze folks were me & my bro's songs that bad? BJ

No, course not, but I could only vote once. CB wins I think, no matter what happens.

22 votes..........

Not bad....but not great......;)

Still two more days to get those votes in.......;)

Well CB, looks like you ran away with it, let me be the first to congratulate you, well deserved.;) SW

Yes....CB has a good lead....but just a reminder, the vote is open until midnight tonight. ;)

lol Thanks SW but there is lots of time to go ... could go a few different ways by then :)

Quite a few votes being placed in these late hours of the contest....

Looks like some sandbagging going on, methinks.......;)

See... I told SW too soon to tell :)

hmmm we appear to have members joining just to vote :rolleyes:

It looks like we're getting some dupe accounts signing up just to vote in this poll. Marie21 and mariew both on the same IP with the same email domain. I will remove at least one of them

I think people forget their IP addresses are easily matched up :cool:

Something seems amiss here.....and I sincerely hope that it is a statistical anomaly...because the alternative disheartens me greatly....

But we have gotten around 7 votes since just this afternoon by my count. That's more votes than came in the previous couple days....and just in a matter of hours. That is not the norm for polls.....the heavy voting is almost always early.

I would like to ask JP to have a look at the logs and please let me know if the voting is legit. If the poll is being skewed....I will cancel it.

OOPS....missed a couple posts while I was typing.....

Thanks for looking into it JP......

I think we should declare the poll null and void and put up another. Too many brand new signups off the same IP joining and coming straight to vote in this poll.

Was there a limit to the number of votes?

Are these votes not confidential?

Just asking...

Agreed.............this contest is over and void..........:mad:

Let me take a moment to remind everyone why we are here. All this singing and pledging was done for a good cause....a little girls' battle with cancer. A forum community pulling together to help her. I thought the contest was a fun thing to do....and give a little recognition for those people brave enough to sing in front of the entire internet. The prize is small.....it only cost me ten dollars. I may have made a mistake by making it a competition.

I took up this cause since I am a cancer survivor and know exactly what Ana and her family is going through. Now before this thing gets out of hand.....I request that the whole thing be dropped and we move on. The contest is cancelled....lets forget about it and get on with helping out Ana.

Consider it dropped.

Ya know I thought there was something weird going on, nice catch Joe. Im really dissapointed in someone doing this, whoever it was have a nice new year.:mad: BJ
