Usually by this time, for some of the challenges, the votes would be about 110% of the number of submissions; and for others should have gotten up to about 90% of the number of submissions. For some reason it seems like a low turn out! Should we anticipate more voting during the weekend?

yeah....

The low numbers could be due to a number of reasons. The topic of the challenge, other commitments, discernment amongst the members due to various reasons, inability to find models or ideas, etc. Out of curiosity...have you entered all of them? If not, why?

You mean "voted" not "entered" right? Yes I did.

My apologies...I misread your post...I thought you were referring to the entries. I am sick at the moment so I am not quite with it.

The low voting could also be for similiar reasons. This happens...but look at the entry numbers as well on the new challenges...that should give you an indication as to what I was saying.

Yeah - I'm pretty much the only model I've got, no one wants to see my fluff, and I've been way too busy anyway.

Maybe entries and voting are down because it is the week before the next WPL season starts and alot of people are doing one last charge of the batteries and laying low until the Sunday challenge is announced. I am sured the Nude IV challenge will get plenty of votes and views :)

I've been busy shaving my ass in preparation for the nude challenge. Simply no time for voting, it's a lot of work.

There is an absolutely hilarious piece by some guy about that very subject. If I can find it, I'll post a link. (He was a cyclist who thought it would aid in preventing chafing or some such.) The bottom line of this piece was simply don't do it. There are unforeseen consequences to that action.

I think another reason for the lower votes may be because there are so many more challenges than there used to be. I used to vote in every single challenge -- but there are always so many now going on at the same time, some of them I don't even get in to cast a single vote.

The Renaissance masters had it right. Fluff is beautiful. ;)

at least it'll be easy to get into the top 50!

I'm thinking there'll be lots of last minute entries. ;)
