Hi HellFlyer, Im sorry you couldn't vote in time. You were certainly not restricted from doing so and your vote would have been very welcome.

I have a pretty good idea how many people are participating and are interested, thanks for your concern. For example, I sat up all through the night the past week chasing up participants to get the status on late entries, fixing up the everyone's entry and posting them on the voting threads. I started the wiki and it's participation list, and have every day answered emails and PMs from members on here asking questions and for more info. I also started the competition bounty off, and I updated the list with Cosimo as each donation came in. Actually, since I started the competition off I have asked for feedback on sharing the bounty along the way, that was from way back before May 21st. This poll was linked both in the discussion thread and the competition wiki. Im sorry you still were not able to provide your vote, please understand that voting for the winning applications is currently underway and a decision had to be made asap.

I'm also sorry that you are left with the feeling that the poll was not carried out correctly. If you would like to discuss the donation you have made, please PM me but I am not able to find your username on the list of donators. If you would like to discuss your competition entry also please PM me, although again I cannot find it on the list of participants.

If you would like to get more involved in the project please let me know, as I have 24 emails to reply to and 47 personal messages to send out tonight before I get my dinner and I'm pretty hungry right now
