Hey Natalie, I can see where you are coming from but I think you still can vote for those you think you find useful from your perspective, even though developers like us may or may not agree with you.. You may pleasantly be surprised at how close your choice was to some of us..
Its like voting for a President or a Prime Minister.. You do not really need to personally know everything about economic or current affairs or matters related to to the governance of a state or country. You still have the right to cast a vote, irrespective of how knowledgeable or ignorant you are in those matters, simply because you are a citizen of that state or country you live in and sort of know some qualities that you like or dislike about different candidates AND most importantly because you have the RIGHT to vote being a eligible citizen of that country or state.. As an ARS Lister I think you have every right to express that opinion by way of a vote, as much as we developers here have, in appreciation of a nominee that you prefer to win.. That’s just my two cents..

Also, since I don’t develop, I felt unqualified to speak as to whose development-related posts are the most helpful. But I would definitely like to see the MVP kept alive. And I might even make it to next year’s WWRUG.

I’m blaming my current Remedy upgrade project which is taking up all my time… and is also the reason why I didn’t go to WWRUG this year; although I was approved to go – first time ever! However, I will vote and go to WWRUG next year. Please keep the MVP alive. LJ, congratulations!! I would have voted for you (my apologies)... You have helped me out a few times before and I sincerely appreciate it.

Why not compare as a percentage of the total number of unique users that have posted anything in the last year or two? Also I missed the nomination/vote discussions completely when I was on leave.

Using raw numbers of the number of registrations on the list, 1% voted. In other words, under 50 votes. Let’s see if we beat that on comments about keeping it before you get too excited about it returning. The only reason I am ending it is because I think the level of voting reflects the level of interest; and reflects that the arslist and participation in it is now for the most part taken for granted. Activity on, and interest in, the actual list has not grown in the last couple of years, but certainly has not diminished either! Keep Calm, Carry On. Daniel P.s. there were a lot of Hawaiin shirts, just there were so many attendees this year, 488 in fact From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of arslist Sent: October 23, 2012 1:05 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: MVP 2012 - Congratulations LJ Longwing! ** As I told LJ and the others in our midnight on discussion: IF there is a really big, and by big I mean say, 10% of the list, That sends emails or creates a really long thread about continuing it, I might be convinced to bring it back. But with 2.5% voting, although they usually reach the right conclusion, It says to me that the ARSlist is a commodity now and there isn’t that much interest in The Award. To Clarify and somewhat repeat what I said at the conference: There is no longer a separate session for the ARSlist Awards, it is part of an opening session dedicated to all awards The ARSlist carries on, and for now as “just an email list” Doing some Awards related to the ARSlist carries on The ARSlist MVP Award is now retired I will be doing the 20th Anniversary of the ARSlist next year. Twinkies and Hawaii shirts have a life of their own. I will be throwing a wrinkle into that next year as well J Dan From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Tami Palacky Sent: October 23, 2012 11:31 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: MVP 2012 - Congratulations LJ Longwing! ** Congrats LJ !!! I hope you did a good job of convincing Dan continue with the awards. i did vote and try to every year ... i dont do more on teh ARRList than read the posts everyonce in a while, but you do notice those that are helpful in the responses On Thursday, October 18, 2012 5:13:09 PM UTC-4, Joe Martin D'Souza wrote: ** You had it coming a long time!
