voting has leveled out, it seems

04/12/2002 06:08:55 AM · #1

since about the middle of the day yesterday, voting seems to have plateaued around 155-158 votes. i wonder if this means almost everyone who uses this site has voted, and if that's an indication of the size of the user base here.

I have 152 votes so far. The last challenge seems to have received 10 to 15 votes more. There may be a few people who are waiting for the weekend.... This, being my first challenge entry, I have been excited about the voting and the comments so far. I

Looks like we're definitely near the end. Average number of votes per photo has varied over the past few challenges:

Challenge 2 (Table): 105
Challenge 3 (Outdoor Macro): 141
Challenge 4 (Red): 150
Challenge 5 (Self Portrait): 118
Challenge 6 (Night Shot): 149
Challenge 7 (Architecture): 161

I know where there are quite a few digital photographers online that would love this site... Should I invite them?

Ok... I have posted an invitation to my friends... I participate loosely in a usenet newsgroup called alt.binaries.photos.original and there are quite a few digital fans in there. I was a little hesitant about posting your site there because you could potentially get a flood of new people...

I've had 156 votes so far, but only 8 comments :o(

Please, comment as much as possible, even on (or especially on) the bad photos, like mine! :o)

I'd like more comments too - I tried to comment on all the pictures, though a few I couldn't think of anything useful to say.

156 votes and 26 comments - not the best of ratios..

Ive got 158 votes with 22 positive comments, although my ratings have been quite average, im just hoping everyone is being stingy with the 10 and 9 votes.

actually, now that I think about it, there will probably be a last-minute burst, as all the people who waited until this weekend get their act together :-)

I started feeling bad for those folks who had ~ 8 votes, so I just went back through and left some for everyone. Some aren't as long as others, but I tried to make a comment for everybody.

Bumped a few folks up as well.

Hmm, I didn't comment on 5 pictures. Sometimes I really can't come up with anything to say. Maybe I'll be inspired come Sunday. :)

yup, there's the little burst of last minute voters - now i'm up in the 170's. But the last crop of votes took my average down an entire .1 ARGHHHHHH :P

How do we know this? And I thought everyone must vote on every entry.
Also, why do some users have the title of a past entry in brackets under their name?

I meant around 8 comments. There's no way to really tell, but a few people in this challenge and others have mentioned their low comments totals. I compare the total number of comments I know I have with the amount that people are saying they have.

My new baseline is to give at least as many comments as I have recieved.
