Oh, I answered the /other/ version of this question!

Manual mornin' stats BOTE!

(Next nom will be Surface!)

As of today, Sunday, January 20th, we are back up and running at:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

ALL three links work for voting, so if you have trouble getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. I recommend bookmarking them all, for rapid transition, if you have trouble voting.

Top two shows as of this morning:

(Statistics in parentheses are previous day's stats, for comparison purposes)

Total votes Firefly: 534,277 (533,554)

Total votes Xena: 450,185 (449,923)

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 723 times (924). OUCH! That's our lowest in as long as I can remember, and, even though it's because of the site problem, it still hurts to look at!

Yesterday, Xenites voted 262 times (270).

(Xenites voted 461 (654) times less than Browncoats, yesterday.

Firefly is 84,092 (83,631) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #31 show NCIS 83,837. That puts us at 15,908 (16,369) votes away from a 100k vote lead, about 22 (17.72) days!

Yesterday, Browncoat votes fell by 201, 21.75%; Xenite votes fell by 8, 2.96%.

Our next banner, for 535,000 votes, is 723 (1,446) votes, and, exactly 1 (1.56) day away! Look for it tomorrow!

5,635,271 (5,626,123) votes have been counted as of 01/20/08. Yesterday, 9,148 (10,448) votes were cast. In order to take ownership of 10% of all votes cast yesterday, we needed to vote 915 (1,045) times, of which we fell short by 192 votes. Our share fell to 9.4809466% (9.4835118%) of all votes ever cast. Our share of the pie remains at 9%.

Through yesterday, there were more reports of problems voting, apparently affecting European voters, with losses of many more daily votes. Pretty much all the shows on the poll, even those which didn't suffer greatly the day before, took large hits in their daily votes. It is just possible that the totals were taken early, though the only indication of that is the consistent shortfall across the Poll. If that is the case, there may be higher than normal totals posted tomorrow, with the carryover balances.

-Raycheetah ='[.]'=

In other TV Vote news:

Buffy got 278 (343) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is not currently receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Battlestar Galactica, which received 336 (412) votes, yesterday.

Battlestar Galactica is set to overtake #5 show Farscape in 2.57 (3.23) days, at current voting rates.

Angel got 227 (266) votes, and, is not currently receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat! which received 381 (434) votes.

Finally, Dark Shadows got 402 (441) votes, and, is set to overtake #36 show Scarecrow and Mrs. King in .6 (1.42) days.

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

P.S.: For those who are interested in Moonlight in the Nominations Poll:

Total votes Moonlight 5,963 (5,832)

Moonlight got 131 (172) votes, yesterday, not passing any shows. It will take about another day to pass Law And Order Special Victims Unit 6,093.

That's a story for when I have a bit more time to dedicate to digging out old posts and such.
Go back a few threads to around October of last year, and you'll find my "I remember back in the day" post.

Short answer: She earned it.

The real question is, what did the Firefly fans do to get together enough support to pass by a show with the large number of 'shows in the vault' that Xena has, and the incredibly enthusiastic and well organized fan base that Xena has?

TV_vote is about 'fan power', and to make a long story short, Xena has it. Apparently, we might have a 'wee bit more';-)

That's the one! Thanks for the link

Reposted from above link, modified to show order 'way back then' :
NOTE: The 'now' items were as of last October, /not/ today.

*imagine Billy Crystal's "Miracle Max" voicing this*
I remember back in the day when the browncoats actually had a fight on their hands! None of this mamby-pamby "How many days over 1,000 votes" garbage.
They were back in 6th place, hoping HOPING they might be able to catch Gunsmoke. Had a whopping 42,775 votes to their name, and were happy to get 100 votes in a day, didn't even dream of 1,000 votes in a week back then. Gunsmoke beat 'em as often as not, and catch Xena?! Hah, she was so far above that you couldn't even be sure she was wearing a skirt.
Bonanza, now /that/ was a fandom I tell ya. 470 votes per day, day in, day out. Them and LaFemme Nikita. Those two had a shot at catching Xena. X-what? Battle where? Buffy? Never heard of 'em. They never had a chance.
Now? Well… Just look at the numbers.

Votes Then (Daily Then) :(Position Then) Title (Position Now): Votes Now (Daily Now)
128,690 (180) :(1) Xena (2): 403,459 (551)
088,537 (471) :(2) Bonanza (3): 341,711 (551)
