Gang,

I was always wondering why members choose to vote for this site on AquaRank and why they don’t.
Having participated in a Recent Thread that touched that topic, I decided to create a new thread here
solemnly committed to this topic.

VF stands for Voting Frequency and is the calculation of:

100 / (number of membership days) * (number of Aquarank votes).

Where do you stand?

Long time members can apply estimation in membership days as +/- 30 days will not really make a big
difference in the VF%.

If you think I am crazy, let me know as well

Ingo

I vote for this site because I really love it, with all the facts and friendly members.

My VF is 94%.

You're poll won't work for most of us because the vote counter was installed after we were already members. If we knew when the counter was added we could do it.

I vote most days I come to the site.

Every day that I visit the site.

The AquaRank counter was installed on September twenty-seventh of last year.

Ingo great idea, but uh like it's been said can't just figure it out that waysorry But, as for how often do I vote? At least once a day, though I know it only counts onceI sometimes forget I've votedit's a blonde thing I thinkhml

what about people who have been members for many years? our percentages will drop below anyone who has joined in the last 9 months or so and i think i've only missed about 10 total votes max since the counter was added after the Great Server Crash.

Definately crazy, but you're in good company :%)

I vote every day unless I can't get online for whatever reason.

I'm going to do it this way... since I *started* voting (because for the longest time, I didn't know diddley about it), I've voted almost every day. I'll vote 80% for that.

I run firefox as my browser and have three tabs open as my starting page whenever I open it up. The the voting page and FP home are two of the tabs. This makes it quite easy to vote daily, since the voting page is the top tab.

The only days I miss on voting would be days I'm not online, such as weekends when I'm out of town or the like. *shrugs*

Long term members:

based on sirsooks statement:

The AquaRank counter was installed on September twenty-seventh of last year


We have so far 305 days (as of today, July 28th) available for voting. Let’s deduct about 15 of these where the AquaRank option was unavailable.

That should mean that anybody who became a member before 9/27/2004 could use 290 as the number of membership days.

Now that should make it easy

Ingo

PS: Did I mention that I like statistics?
