Happy New Year!

Less than two weeks to reach #37!

Still climbing toward #37!
Just another good voting day, though, now past New Years day, we should see a steady rise in votes.

Back in town. Just getting through all the Email and group. Thanks for everyone's efforts. Jackie thank you for posting of the Banners. Ray thanks for posting daily. Lydia thanks for chimming in.
But I have a question, is there a take over song for Northern Exposure??
Northern Exposure 65108 +163
Dark Shadows (1966) 62195 +419
Alias 61683 +178
Blood Ties (2006) 19623 +300
Moonlight (2007) 3677 +122

One day is all it will take to reach #39! Cleo is about to fall!
Let's all sing, using a well known tune: "Cleopatra's falling down!"
Oh, that is funny, Lydia!
Got one for Alias? We'll be passing that show in under a week.
But I have a question, is there a take over song for Northern Exposure??
Now, now. As wonderful as it might be that DS is doing so well in the poll, and as inspired as it might have been to possibly sing songs to mark whenever DS leapfrogs other shows, it's probably best not to get cocky. After all, we wouldn't like it if other fandoms rubbed it in our faces as/if they passed by DS, so we should probably remain respectful. [santa_wink] Though quietly and inwardly doing somersaults seems perfectly appropriate. [santa_grin]
-
Well, I try to maintain a public semblance of respect and dignity, MB... However, if fans of the other shows come here to lurk and spy, well, it has been said that an eavesdropper seldom hears anything good about himself. However, on the off chance that Dark Shadows fans here might also be fans of the shows we're passing, I will attempt to moderate the inevitable good-natured (really!) trash-talk =^[.]~=.
A slow day, yesterday, and, a bit of a disappointment.
Yesterday, everybody else's votes were up, as anticipated... except ours, which dropped. I have NO idea what happened. Still above 400 daily votes (marginally), but, we have been hovering at 11 days away from #37 for three days, now.

I know you won't believe it's me saying this but - don't get discouraged. People are still away for the holidays or have taken vacation to recover from the holidays. I work in a major city and even this week there has been little or no traffic on the streets. I work in a company with over 500 people in it. It's still a ghost town, much like the week before Christmas. You'll get your voters back.

Thanks Nancy and MB for what you have said. I will be silent in my singing. Some people might think I am off key. Here are some numbers.

Still over 400, but, no real growth.
The Northern Exposure voters sure had some growth! We're still catching up with them, but, our vote advantage slips when we don't increase our votes, and, they do.
Anyway, looks like NX will put up such a fight as they can, but, our passing them within the next 11 days or so is inevitable. Keep in mind that today is Friday, chronically the worst voting day of the week. If we don't want to drop below 400 daily votes, again, we need to push a little harder.

Under ten days to catch NX!
Our votes dropped to just below 400, yesterday. Still, we've been over 300 votes/day for almost a month, so, we're doing pretty well.

Just over a week to pass NX!
Back over 400 votes, again, yesterday, we did well against NX, whose votes dropped. We still need to get our votes into a more solid position, well into the 400+ range. We have a year. We need to make each day count, in order to maximize our position!

This isn't a banner congratulating DS per se, but in celebrating Fan Power, a scene from DS is added to 1/5/2008 banner. For some reason I've been unsuccessful in showing the banners on this forum [although I can see it when I preview my message] so I'm adding the link for others to see. It is not the original banner since I don't have the means to copy an *.swf file but I captured the main shots to make this animated file.

Paul Revere could have used a Samuel Adams, last night.
Went on another exhausting ride through the Firefly/Buffy/Angel/Johnny Depp groups, last night. Got a bit of an initial response; several Browncoats enthusiastically committed to help out (such shiny folks, we are!), and, even one, stray voter for Surface in the Noms (might drop in a Surface Nom or two, every once in a while; he's stirring up his home board to help us).
We got a boost of 45 votes over the previous day, and, should get our next banner, tomorrow.

Important news from TV Vote:
"Greetings TV_Voters:
TV_Vote is moving to a new address. On this coming Sunday morning, January 13th, we will activate our new site at http://www.tvvote.tv for a trial run.
If all goes well, we will stay there until January 2009, when we will decide whether to continue for another year or end the vote.
If there is a problem with the new site, we will revert back to the old address, but we don't expect any problems because there haven't been any changes to the way things actually work. We have made an attempt to clean up the look a bit, but no changes to the poll forms. http://www.tvvote.tv is on a different server with a different web host, but we think that it will actually make the site work better.
When you come to the current site on Sunday January 13th, all you will see is a page with a link to http://www.tvvote.tv and we will keep that page link up indefinitely in the future. You can also use the alternate address http://tvvote.tv starting Sunday if you prefer (it's shorter.)
WHY, WHY, WHY?
The current TV_Vote site is actually a subweb of www.richlabonte.net, but it accounts for over 70% of all the traffic on richlabonte.net. We thought it deserved a stand-alone site and URL so a year ago we reserved tvvote.tv. (We couldn't get tvvote.com because COMCAST is sitting on it - they don't use it, but they got it first and they're too big to fight for it.)
Then we waited a year to see if you guys would still be here. You are, so TV_Vote gets the new URL tvvote.tv as of Sunday.
Our new web host for http://www.tvvote.tv also offers a couple of features we will try out - they have a board / forum thingie and also a little poll deal that we could use to bring back our Instant Polls. Plus we get a whole lot of extra space to work with on their server - enough to put up a picture gallery / library of our Flash banners or even stream classic TV episodes maybe, who knows?
Our commitment to another year of TV_Vote gives you a chance to fill that fifth position in the Fan Power Hall of Fame after Gunsmoke takes number 4 (in about a month, we reckon.) It will also give Nomination Poll voters a better chance to make the Top 40.
So Don't Panic on Sunday and remember:
Fan Power Rules!

Interesting to reflect that, less than a month after Dark Shadows passed Hercules, it has since passed Cleopatra 2525, Alias, and, Northern Exposure, and, stands poised to pass Scarecrow and Mrs. King in another week, and, The Simpsons by the end of the calendar month.

(Sorry not to have posted, the last couple of days; I couldn't get into the Forums.)
A great total for a Friday!
Even with the voting issues, yesterday, Dark Shadows got 441 votes! Only 1.42 days to beat Scarecrow!
This could be attributed to two things:
1) Most of the voting problems are being experienced by voters in Europe; this may simply reflect that the majority of our voters are in the US and Canada, or,
2) With the sudden boost in Nominations votes for Moonlight (172, yesterday!), we may be receiving some support from Moonlight fans, which is much appreciated!

Information form TV Vote. Go back to old site.
Hi, guys:
Still no solution from the tvvote.tv host, so we are prepared for the
return to our old location at http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote
Plan on voting there tomorrow, Sunday January 19th. The site should be
active again early in the morning, hopefully by 7 AM EST, so go there
first after you open yer sleepy little peepers. The site is currently
updated (but not receiving votes), so it should go up around the world
pretty fast.
The site design changes we made for .tv have been transfered to the
old site, BTW, except for the streaming classic commercials. We may
bring them back in the future too.

Was there a problem? (asks Lydia cluelessly, channeling her beloved role model, Victoria Winters). I'm having no trouble with http://www.tvvote.tv.

Sorry, Lydia, to be more specific, apparently it was the European voters who have been having the problem. If you vote from pretty much anywhere else, you wouldn't have likely noticed the problem.
As of today, Sunday, January 20th, we are back up and running at:
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote
http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html
ALL three links work for voting, so if you have trouble getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. I recommend bookmarking them all, for rapid transition, if you have trouble voting.
Despite the shortfalls, Dark Shadows is poised to take #36, tomorrow, along with another banner!
We also /barely/ kept our daily vote total above 400, at 402, yesterday... Now that we're back on the original voting site, things should be looking up in the next day or so.
Apologies to anybody who stayed up/got up to nab that extra vote at the changeover; if you got it in, you did better than I did, 'cause Rich snuck the switch in even earlier than I expected. I think he sleeps less than I do!

We fell off, a bit, in our vote totals, yesterday. I know some folks had things that prevented them from voting, so, nobody needs to feel badly. We just need to buck up and get our daily average back to where a shortfall isn't going to drop us below 400 votes, which should really be our baseline.

Much better!
We got our mojo back, apparently with a little help from our friends.
Dark Shadows was WAY up, with 432 daily votes, yesterday. This trend matched a jump in Buffy/Angel votes, which followed my posting the stats for those shows on a range of related groups and boards, including a new (to me) forum for all Joss Whedon shows. The only problem with the Buffyverse voters is, they have a history of enthusiastic initial responses to news about their shows, only to fade off, again. I'm hoping that this new forum, as opposed to Yahoo Groups, will enable me to sustain their interest, more.
At any rate, we're no longer stuck at 21 days from catching QAF, as we seem to have been, all week. Dark Shadows is now just a little over 18 days away from #34.

Dark Shadows got 440 votes, yesterday! We shaved 3 whole days off of the time it will take to catch QAF, at this rate, with just one day's improvement. Every vote does count!

Buffy is in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 66,933 votes, and, 122.59 days, away, while Farscape is only 125.58 days from getting there, first. Buffy is in the lead for the Hall of Fame!

Today's stats, and, welcome to another friendly fan(g)dom!
We did much better, yesterday, and, are on track to pass QAF in about 6 days.
We have also added another fan(g)dom to our circle of friends!
Let's all extend a friendly, Collinwood welcome to the Nominations voters of Blood Ties! Blood Ties is a current vampire program, whose fandom is struggling, after only 22 episodes, to get their show renewed (sound familiar?). Judge for yourself how good it is by viewing it for free online (use the "Select an episode" drop-down menu to see different eps) at:
http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/blood-ties/episodes/blood-price-part-1
The Blood Ties voters are now joining ranks with us, extending their Top 40 votes to the shows in our family of friends. While it may take a while for the results to show in the daily totals, Blood Ties got a total of 511 votes, yesterday, so, the potentials of their generosity are substantial.

For some reason I've been unsuccessful in showing the banners on this forum [although I can see it when I preview my message] so I'm adding the link for others to see.
Strange - all the banners that you've posted have displayed fine for me in their posts. And I just checked back at all of them - and they're still displaying fine. [hdscrt]
After just logging in and checking this thread, I noticed Lori's banners showing up. Then I read your message [been gone for a while]. I don't know why I couldn't see the banners I was posting but I can see Lori's. I see the one I posted in January so I wonder what my computer is doing wrong for me not to have seen them for so long. Oh well, I'll try again when we get another one, if Lori doesn't beat me to it. [snow_blush]

Most shows took the usual Friday drop, reflected in their daily vote totals. We can recover from this with just a little effort, especially if we all work together. Yet, even despite some voting problems, Dark Shadows stayed well into the 400s.

Saturday: The new, voting Friday?
Yesterday was like a stock market crash, on TV Vote. Even Jericho didn't break 500 daily votes, yesterday, and, with a few exceptions, daily totals were abysmal across the board. Hopefully, whatever was at fault will have leveled out, and, we'll see some decent totals, tomorrow. While it wasn't us, falling below 800 votes for Firefly is not a good trend. On the other hand, Dark Shadows actually advanced its totals, taking advantage of JAG's falloff to move even closer to taking its position.

Keeping our heads above water, despite another bad voting day.
Remember how the daily vote totals sucked, last Saturday? Well, it looks like we had a repeat of that "stock market plunge." Saturday does, indeed, appear to be the new Friday, with depressed totals pretty much across the board, most substantially impacting normally high-scoring shows. I still don't know why that might be, for sure; I did note some reports of trouble voting. Just keep in mind that yesterday's drop should be considered anomalous, and, not indicative of long-term trends, and, we can hope for better things, tomorrow.
Despite all that, Dark Shadows still stayed above 400 daily votes! Great job, everyone!

I never tell anyone how to vote. I'm a Browncoat, and, we value our independence, as well as that of others. However, I will happily suggest that folks throw in their support for the other shows whose voters have shared our efforts with us, all along, with no expectation of quid pro quo, only the commitment of friends to the prosperity of friends.

Hey Ray, gotta couple of questions for you about the poll.
First, is there a date that the poll will come to an end with final results, or will this keep going indefinitely?
And second, how high can DS realisitically get? In other words, where is the point where we are catching up on the higher shows and the point where the higher shows are pulling farther away from us with the average of around 400 votes for DS (give or take) a day? If that still does not make sense then what is the lowest ranked show, that is above us, that is averaging higher votes per day than DS?
Just curious.
And let me compliment you on your diligence in this effort. You've got me putting in a few votes a day, unless it simply slips my mind.

Excellent questions, KajunDC!
According to Rich Labonte, the administrator of the TV Vote Poll, the voting will end either this coming January, or, in January 2010. This depends on where the poll is, and, what this year's voting was like. One factor is the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult for a show to break out of the Nominations Poll (as Dark Shadows did, last December, and, which vampire shows Moonlight and Blood Ties, by dint of a focused fan effort, are poised to do in a few months). Simple mathematics, and the weight of the accumulated vote totals of the shows already in the Top 40, conspire to make it nearly impossible for a show in the Nominations to reasonably expect to reach the top of the noms, let alone pass the lowest shows in the Top 40.
Once no more shows are able to enter the Top 40, the field will gradually stagnate, as shows already there shuffle to settle into their eventual equilibrium. Bo-ring! So, the Poll dynamic will be the deciding factor as to when the voting will end.
As for how high Dark Shadows can climb? Well, based on the daily votes, DS is currently the 9th highest vote-getting show, and, has occasionally peaked at 7th, on a good day. Bad days have seen DS as low as 10th, but, Top 10 is an excellent target! Keep in mind that DS may not have the time to reach its potential rank, depending on how long the poll runs. However, a projected #8 is still great, and, if we don't get to reach it, we know we could've.
There are some additional dynamics, here. Of the 8 shows above us in votes, 5 (Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, Angel, and Babylon 5, which is the lowest you asked about) are our voting partners, some of whose voters also contribute votes to Dark Shadows. In return, some DS voters vote for (at least) some of those shows. This acknowledges the fact that, even absent our friendly voting cooperative (which also increases awareness between fandoms of each other's shows), none of the shows involved are likely to change in the order of daily votes, and, so, present no tactical threat to one another. The advantage is shared by the participants, and, more importantly, we all get to make some friends.
Then, when Johnny Depp finally gets to work on the new DS movie project (whatever you may think of it =^[.]~=), the stir that a new Johnny Depp project creates will also benefit the DS fandom. Voters within and without our cooperative will take another look at DS, and, we'll get more votes. However, DS is so far behind the shows with whom we've partnered that, even though our daily votes may begin to approach or exceed some of theirs, we still would take a long time to catch them.
So, we get to enjoy the fruits of our long efforts, when we struggled to get into the Top 40, with a steady succession of advances up the Poll. There are still 21 shows ahead of us which get fewer daily votes than we do, and, every pass is another reward for our efforts. Should we have time to get there, we stand to enter the Top 10. DS recently exceeded 100,000 votes, after only 17 months of concerted effort; there are 7 shows in the Top 40, which have been there far longer than we, which have yet to reach 100,000 votes. We get 5,000 vote advance banners more often than 75% of the Top 40 shows, though we still await the luck of the draw to give us an exclusive banner, on a day no other show besides DS passes a 5k vote mark.
So, we have our goals, large and small, and...
Who knows what the future holds? All it would take is for Johnny Depp to declare to his fans that he votes for DS on TV Vote, and, my own, home fandom, Firefly, could be swept away in the dust.
Thank you for your questions; I welcome inquiries and feedback, and, I also thank you for your support. TV Vote is a lot of fun, or most of us voting wouldn't do it. Thank you, too, for your kind and encouraging words. It's my pleasure to help out.

Yesterday was pretty much the worst voting day we've seen in a long time, and that's saying something!

Dark Shadows has halved the current time to intercept SGA! ...Just so long as we can maintain our positive voting differential over them! Meanwhile, Highway to Heaven has slipped past Star Trek: The Next Generation, making that our next target to pass.

Dark Shadows advances inexorably, despite the best efforts of those above us in the Poll!
I'd like to make a request, and please pardon me for repeating myself: Let's also give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a boost for the next couple of days, if you would, please?

Thanks very much for your support, JS! You can, indeed, vote up to once every 60 minutes, and it appears, based on our improved total, yesterday, that your contribution helped! Just keep in mind that votes are counted per network IP, so, don't go to the library or your office and vote hourly on each computer on the subnet, or all votes will be thrown out; multiple votes on rotating IPs will likewise be rejected.
Also, for more detailed information, please use the link, below, to visit a detailed vote analysis thread.
Now, for the news:
Dark Shadows is poised to pounce!
As predicted, SGA couldn't sustain their voting pace, allowing us a great opportunity to gain on them over the weekend!

Dark Shadows is the new #27 show in the Poll, having passed SGA yesterday! Great work, voters! Our daily totals are also increasing; based on the numbers, it is clear that the Blood Ties voters are lending a hand to the other vampire shows, including Dark Shadows! Let's return their support!
Many thanks to those who may have been concerned about my whereabouts; I was benched by a styoopid computer issue for the past two days, but I'm back!

Thanks for the banner, Jackie!
Dark Shadows dropped off, slightly, though by tomorrow, your faithful Tallymister will be back to full voting speed (barring any further complications). Let's see if we can power past ST:NG, and bring H2H into striking range!

We have been working really hard to get the show moved
up. Every one or two extra votes do help.
Moonlight and Blood Ties guys have been helping us out.

I think the next one to go under DS is Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'm enjoying this I can't believe a lot of the shows that have so many votes that I've never seen. [ghost_embarrassed]

Dark Shadows is getting over 100 votes more than the next several shows ahead of us. Much better!

Dark Shadows got another boost on TV Vote, in our daily positive vote differential, shaving four days off our current time to intercept ST:NG! However, we can't count on ST:NG to keep voting at such a reduced level; we need to vote as much as we reasonably can, and take control of our own progress!
