Poll: Top three, IOTW, year end finalists

[Mick]

Poll now up for top three, IOTW, year end finalists.  Please vote asap.  Poll running for three days.

I've set for guests to vote, not sure if that function works, but thought I'd give it a shot.  Let me know if anything needs changing. 

Well done Reinardina, Nick, and Dave for getting into the top three.   

Hope you're all having a great Christmas.

[Reinardina]

Obviously didn't vote for myself, so I studied the other two pictures with even more attention. Is it me, or do the expressions in both photos look very similar?

Any one of the entrants could have been a finalist, and anyone of the finalists could be a winner.

How's the take up by guests?

It's nice to know it's, yet again, a close run thing. Maybe someone can turn it into a tryptich?

Surely the same person could vote for themselves logged in as a guest, it is not very hard to connect on different ip addresses.

This is a well known website and there are hundreds like it.

Ah but you see, you're forgetting the exploits of the 1 Star bandit.
The administrators of this site are well versed in such tactics.
It's easy to spot a 'trend' whereby a dozen votes come in for some one, all listed as 'guest' in an hour or two.

The days where you could do such things and get away with a almost gone - and this site thankfully still has people as admins not employees of a large corporation.

I feel confident about voting on this site. A lot of things go on that we don't always know about, but eager admin's stop the nasties from interfering with it.
How a good site should be run, we don't want to know unless it's a site wide issue...

I can see Geoff's point, and it's a valid one, which is why I probably wouldn't set it like this again.  But I'm trusting you guys to keep it fair. 

ATM, there's 25 votes, and it's so close you wouldn't believe it.    More votes required methinks.
