      I always rooted for Randolph Scott and Rory Calhoun. I don't think they were ever Indians though.

        What I find a bit fascinating is there are 17,881 members on this board and so far only a total of 38 votes. That has to be some sort of statement.

          Yeah, how did we get a better turnout on the board than we did for the presidential election?

              It's an off-year election cycle. Turnout is always down.

                I'd like to remind anyone getting excited over the results that PotY is NOT and should never be considered an honor.

                  I think the fact that RB was at one time trailing 9-0 shows how important it is to be able to come from behind. Sorry-I should have put that one onto the pun thread.

                    and now for something completely different!

                    [there's no BBC thread...]


                    Here is a friendly suggestion to whomever is going to manage this process next time. Someone has the data right now of total post count. Store that somewhere safe. In fact, if you want to upload it to a file-sharing site, I'll go there and download it in order to preserve it for next year.

                    Then, next year, we (I'll help, or not, whichever) download the new total post count. Then subtract former from latter to get total posts for the year. Then we use THAT top 100.

                    That to me sounds simpler than re-naming the election "Poser of the Time Period from When They Started Posting Until Now" doncha think?

                      No. And if RalphPa wins it this year, the PoTY again becomes less meaningful to why it was created in the first place.

                          This is true. Except for the rampant post count padding, Ralph doesn't really do anything.

                            No. We're not altering how this works to let in people with 100 posts who happened to be tools around tournament time. This is all about longevity.
