it's really frutrating...we have 30 girls...we have set up schedules but it's so hard since they just started school back again...they will be doing most of thier voting in waves so onc eminute you will see little votes and all of sudden a big wave of thousands and so on.. We have set up flyers in the computer labs and do assigned voting during practice time as well. Myself and my friends try to get a lot of daytime voting which is when they are in school.. I even voted last night for an hour at 2am! crazy...

Danzol, I'll be voting off and on during the day, but without some serious help from lots of other members here, friends and fmaily, I don't think she can catch up. The other camp seems quite "spry".

Lum, I have been voting on and off today. Tonight it is moving up faster. A couple times today it only moved up by my one vote. I'll be back tomorrow to vote some more.

danz, i spent over 3 hours on monday voting. at one time, i would vote, then immediately vote again. it was encouraging that there would be (at most) ten votes more from my last vote. however, about an hour later, when i was voting (for about 2 hours) the most votes after mine was one. so, for many hours there were only 2 people voting. (me and someone else). maybe, you could set something up w/tvch members. start a thread asking each member to spend 15 minutes a day voting...that might work. eta: something i didn't take the time to post on Monday...after voting for one hour, for some reason i couldn't vote. the page wouldn't load...this happen 3 times (after voting for one hour straight). i would wait about 25 minutes...then i could vote again.

danz, i forgot to ask you: if vanessa comes in second, does that mean she's out (meaning can't go to next round).

Thanks everyone. I feel weird setting a schedule. I know everyone wants to help but I really hate to impose so I am at everyone's mercy to help when they can. Does that make sense? The page, at least for me, freezes after I have voted for about 15-20 minutes. I even had Bellsouth, our phone company, come check it out. My line is fine which means it's their page. Today I did put the dance team on a schedule and ww should see a big improvement or else...(insert evil grin here)... I am worried about Saturday. The team has their opening football game and we will all be gone from 4pm until about 10ish. That means the entier dance team and coaching staff will be at the game so I will need big help Saturday, eastern time. SOmething else that might help might be for the West Coasters....late night voting from you means that we are getting votes really really late when most of us are asleep so that's great! At the end of the day ( ) I appreciate all the help!

Ok, current plan is to attack vote at 10pm (eastern time) tonight! If anyone can join us, the votes should be going up super fast then! http://www.athlonsports.com/college-football/8054/sideline-spirit?action=gallery&participant=6 Vote for Vanessa! Yeah!

Hven't been able to vote much in the last couple of days, but have wondered if Vanessa will be able to ever catch up the almost 10,000 she was behind last I looked. Now if the other camp is taking a break, we might be able to bring her back up the rest of the 7,000 she is missing at the moment. However, at this point I seem to be the only one. Is there any help out there?

With Danzdol's permission, I can post this request on the figure skating board, and the drum corps board I am on. Don't know how much response I'd get from them, but every little bit helps. Heck, I even have an account on a gymnastics board that I rarely even lurk on (they get pretty juvenile with their language). But again, perhaps every little bit would help. Of course, nobody knows where this other girl is getting her votes. I might end up running into one of her camps! LOL.

The only way Vanessa is going to overtake Taylor right now is if all of TVCH, the team, their friends and families go for an allout blitz. Today I must have voted at least 200 times, but rarely had more than one or two ppl helping. For a while there it looked like progress, but the other team is just too well organised. Voting there is steady. Has anyone else had a problem with the code renewing without refreshing the page. Every few hours that seems to be happening to me. Very frustrasting.

OK, I went ahead and put out the call on two skating boards and one drum corps board. The other drum corps board is currently unavailable, so I'll put out the call on them later.

WHoami, yes, it's perfectly ok. Just got home. The team had their football game today and was there since 4pm so we have all been out all day. I knew today would be tough on us. Thank you everyone for pitching in! There is still hope! At one point we were 20000 ahead!!!

I am in there voting right now. I am the only one voting for Vanessa. The good news is no one is voting Taylor at this time. It's about 7:40 here.

She is gorgeous, Danzol. You know, TVCHers are rather generous as well as competitive. If you send out an SOS appeal to help get Vanessa back on top in the Messages to Everyone thread, explaining the stakes for your team, I am sure they would pitch in big time. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Gotta run for a while, but will be back later.

Yay, thanks for the help. Dad and & Stephanie are up so I need to get them settled. One thing I noticed. When there were 1-3 of us voting she moved up about 100 votes per 15 minutes. If we could get 10 -15 people on a voting blitz we could put a big dent in the gap. I'll be back in a bit Lum, I agree she is gorgeous!

Is that site running especially slow this morning? And, something new, there's a map that loads as well???

It's running smoothly again, Vee. I just leave that map thing in the tray when I first get there. That way it doesn't load every time.
