That time is past. - Do not send a simple list of votes. The following is *not* acceptable: 1) Yes /* NOTE: this is NOT an acceptable vote */ 2) No 3) Yes 4) No VOTES WHICH DO NOT CONFORM TO THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS WILL NOT BE COUNTED. Voting Period: - Voting will commence as soon as the moderator of news.announce.newgroups posts this Call For Vote to the network. - Voting will end at NOON CST on Friday, April 23 1993. - ANY VOTES RECEIVED AT THE VOTING-TALLYING SITE AFTER THIS POINT IN TIME WILL NOT BE COUNTED. (So vote early!!!) Multiple Votes/Ballot Stuffing: - Each person may only vote ONCE regardless of the number of internet addresses that they have. - Checks will be run to verify addresses. - Proxy votes and forwarded votes will not be accepted. Votes will not be acknowledged over e-mail. Rather, mass acknowledgements of votes received will be posted from time to time. These acknowledgements will *just* list addresses and names. They will not indicate how people voted. No indication as to how the vote is going will be posted or released in any way. Cherry: Any questions? Ataru: Yes. Why do we need so many rules?? [Bonks Cherry with a wooden mallet...] VOTING RESULTS ============== [A dark, silent warehouse. Himiko Se and Miyu walk among the crates packed with voting slips.] Himiko: It's over. All the people have voted. What happens now? Miyu: Several things: - For a newsgroup to pass, there must be 100 more "Yes" votes than "No" votes, and at least 2/3rds of all votes must be "Yes" votes. - After the voting period has ended, the votes will be tallied and the results will be posted to the news.announce.newgroups and all other appropriate newsgroups. - Along with the results, a list of everyone who voted along with the *way* each person voted will be posted to the net. - There will then be a 5 day waiting period during which the results can be inspected and verified. - A file containing everyone's original vote will be available upon request via e-mail. - After the waiting period, the moderator of news.announce.newgroups may send out control messages creating/deleting groups according to how the 4 separate votes go. Miyu: That's all there is. What happens after that, is up to you.

Yup, this is the last you will probably have to hear about all this, so here are the results! First off I need to thank Enrique Conty. He not only wrote the CFV (which got quite a few really nice comments), but he also gave me enormous amounts of help and support with what I needed to do, and when I should do it. If not for him, I really would have been lost, and things would have gone really rough. Thanks. Now, onto the results: A total of 198 people voted in the poll. I don't know if this is good or bad, but that's it. Totals: Creation of Rec.arts.anime.info: Yes - 166 (83.8%) No - 31 (15.6% Abstain - 1 (.6%) Result - Passes Creation of Rec.arts.anime.stories: Yes - 152 (76.7%) No - 41 (20.7%) Abstain - 5 (2.6%) Result - Passes Creation of Rec.arts.anime.marketplace: Yes - 157 (79.3%) No - 37 (18.7%) Abstain - 4 (2%) Result - Passes Renaming of Rec.arts.anime to Rec.arts.anime.misc: Yes - 142 (71.7%) No - 52 (24.3%) Abstain - 4 (2%) Result - Does Not Pass Below is a list of names and how everyone voted.
