I know the conventions say no posting of "vote for me" kind of stuff, but is "vote for sluggy freelance" ok? (If not, I'm sorry, and I guess the mods will pull this topic.)

SF is a finalist for the "Best Comic" category of the 2006 Weblog Awards; voting begins tonight (12/07/06)! Here's the list of finalists:

Update: Voting is now open, go here: http://2006.weblogawards.org/

I see this thread as being firmly within the realm of the acceptable.
Even if it is technically outside the bounds by a bit, I would hope that the mods have sheilded enough of their souls from the fossilizing influence of responsibility and are willing to turn a blind eye until the voting booth closes. Or, if that is impossible, punt the thread into General rather than outright deleting it.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Amen, I will def. be there!

Ick, this be silly... how many sluggites do we have at this board? We can so push this thing past 12 meesly votes. :)

Okay folks, Moderator Stamp of approval here. Go! Stack those votes! we're behind by about 100 as of just now!

Spread the word Greg. You got the moderator powers!

Has Sluggy been up for an award before? If not, it's about bloody time.

Anyway, I've voted, where the hell are rest of us Sluggites??!! (Sorry, paraphrasing Aussie Tourist Board slogan.)

I'm with gregnier - c'mon people, we can push the Sluggy rating up even higher...

C'mon sluggites...VOTE OR DIE!
: You can't say that!
Fine.
VOTE OR GET MORE MITDO* STRIPS!

I voted! How can we be so far behind? Come one, vote people!

Something would be even more likely to approve of:

"Vote or suffer catastrophic play bites to all parts!"

Who has even heard of those two strips beating Sluggy?

I haven't, so that must mean that no one has!! GOOO SLUGGY!!!

Sluggy is an Elder Comic, with the full power of a Cult behind it. Geeze.

We need to tweek our board policies to make it clear that voting for SLUGGY is always encouraged, under all circumstances, and organize ourselves better next time. :P

Unless... we ANNIALATE the competition on this one! Keep those votes coming, people!

(Sorry, last post before bed :P)

Ok, we've more than doubled most of the competition, and I've watched it go up 5 before my eyes. But we're still 100 behind the 2 leaders. Tell all your loyal sluggites, on and off the board! The Niftiness must prevail!

Anyone know how long this round of voting goes for, btw? I assume its the final round, yes?

<b>Actually, if I read this right we should each get one vote a day, until Dec. 15th. Plenty of time to spread the word, but lets keep up the pressure. :) </b>

Okay, I know we have more active members than this. Come on people!

Someone should put this in General Chat, since there's people there that don't read SRC.

Oh, and a front page mention would be neat, too.

Could we get admin permission for this? Guess we'd need to email pete for the other, I can pop him a quick message but people with better connections might help. :)
