What do you think about April 15th as the last voting date?
exactly 60 days since the voting thread was posted
we would then still have almost 3 weeks to collect signatures
then to advertise it, does anyone have any ideas? let's shoot
some ideas here
that would be great, at least I'd have an opportunity to vote then.
About the advertisement, wouldn't using the news feed be cheaper.
With a catchy title like Vote Vote Vote!!!!
Banners are a good idea, but only the administrator can do it, moderators do not have that ability.
If it's not banner on the homepage
I guess others wouldn't be catchy (barely pay them attention)
And I believe the Mega banner is going to lead to some explicit cost.
Random thought : I think many are aware of this competition because of the publicity for sometime but are not attempting it due to one reason or the other.
Take the contest board, despite how hidden and the low publicity many still participate.
I think some don't meet the criteria (which I believe it's good since it helps reduce spams)
Some are just indifferent
Some don't know who to vote (limited time here)
While I believe few are not aware of it.
