        Vote-Off #7 will follow an almost identical template to Vote-Off #6, but please ensure you read the detailed requirements for taking part in this event and the video requirements here.

          I forgot to say I have opened this for video submissions.

          Anyone who missed the deadline for Vote-Off #6 now has time to get their video ready for Vote-Off #7 instead. No excuses!!

              as I have said before, if numbers are low I will go again, although what’s the prize if I win two on the bounce? ? I’m not up for submitting four entries though…

                Those of you who announced in the forum that you would take part in Vote-Off #6 but then weren’t able to, are you interested in trying Vote-Off #7 instead? There are at least three of you, and probably more.

                If you don’t want to, could you please let me know?

                    Anyone?? No-one has replied at all. I’m not pushing you to take part, but it would be useful to know if you are no longer interested in participating.

                        I haven’t answeredas I thought “losing” Vote 6 meant I was automatically submitted for Vote Off 7

                          I’d like to make it automatic and I’ll definitely do that for Vote-Off #7 (see the notes on that page), but I didn’t put that in the Ts&Cs for Vote-Off #6. It was a later addition.

                          Who wants to get this Vote-Off started during this coming week? (8th-12th May).

                            What’s the plan, is Vote Off 7 happening? I’ve got a great vide entry lined up if so (I think it’s good anyway!), just need some others to enter too….?

                                I opened Vote-Off #7 for submissions a while back and I’ve been trying to get it started ever since.

                                We’ve got 4 participants again so we can kick this off.

                                I would very much like to minimise the number of PayPal transactions. Obviously it would be great to get a lot more votes bought than for Vote-Off #6, but any ideas for how to compact purchases into 1 or 2 larger purchases rather than 3-5 small purchases?

                                  Also, is everyone who took part in Vote-Off #6 happy to participate in Vote-Off #7?

                                  I don’t want to start Vote-Off #7 and then have one or two people drop out immediately.

                                        Excellent! That’s three, how about you, @Keithsnook?

                                        Also, anyone else want to participate?

                                            Hi Ed, I am travelling and internet is sporadic to say the least
                                            No problems with vote off 7 going ahead any time, but I will not be back in the UK until mid July at the earliest

                                                Cool. Thanks for getting back to me. That gives us the minimum 4 participants.

                                              Are any of you thinking of taking part in this one?

                                                It’s awfully quiet around here. We’ve only got three confirmed participants…

                                                  If anyone else is tempted to take part in Vote-Off #7, you need to get your submissions in now!

                                                   

                                                  We’ve just reached the required 4 participant minimum so I’ll be launching the event very soon. It’s a busy week for me, so I don’t have much spare time, but I’m aiming to start the event this weekend (20th/21st May).

                                                    Okay, everyone! You can buy your votes now.

                                                    I’d like to encourage you all to buy votes in as few transactions as possible (eg one £15 batch instead of 3x £5). I really don’t want to lose my account and I presume that fewer transactions will reduce the risk for me. As far as I can tell, nothing is in breach of Pay Pal’s rules but I don’t want to rely on that.

                                                    I’ll be building the event pages tonight and tomorrow and should be able to kick the event off tomorrow at 9pm.

                                                    If anyone else wants to participate, I need the video TONIGHT (20th May).

                                                          Is anyone going to vote??

                                                          No-one’s bought any votes yet.

I wasn’t expecting to be so busy today and I’m not going to be around much this evening. We’ll end this at 9pm on Sunday instead. I hope that’s okay with everyone?

                                                                            Also, only TWO people have bought votes this time. Before even considering starting Vote-Off #8, I think we need to discuss how to make this work better. Or other ways to raise money to cover the site’s running costs.

                                                                                                  Perhaps we need different people taking part?

                                                                                                  Would Vote Off #8 be back to pictures rather than a video?

                                                                                                  I know that outdoor nudity is illegal in many countries – but is an (other) outdoor theme possible?  I’m happy to give it ago, but I’m lucky enough to have plenty of non-urban outdoors that’s easy to get to.

                                                                                                  But that still leaves the problem of getting people to vote – particularly the non-participants.
                                                                                                  Could we have a series of votes and the “winner” of each has to take a picture or short video to meet a pre-defined “dare”?

There were three people who told me there were going to take part but then didn’t. Maybe one or more of them will take part in #8. There are also a few Vote-Off “regulars” who might come back if anyone can contact them?

                                                                                                      I think different people might help, but also MORE people. More competition should drive more voting. Participants are supposed to by some votes themselves, but when we have the absolute minimum number of participants I can’t kick people out for not buying votes.

                                                                                                      Ultimately, we need more members in general, but I just can’t seem to get momentum going.
