ILM Ballot Polls for 2020 and beyond -- the ordering, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

I'd like to take over then. I could open up on Monday.

It Sure Got POLLED After The Rain Fell: ILM Artist Poll #110 – ZZ Top

I'd still like to do a jungle/dnb poll, as listed above. Not sure if there's enough interest in it though.

I'd follow it, definitely, but I probs wouldn't be able to contribute a whole bunch

― doorstep jetski (dog latin), Friday, 7 February 2020 10:53 (one year ago)

I'd join in a d&b poll for sure.

― Wuhan!! Got You All in Check (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 7 February 2020 10:54 (one year ago)

I feel like there was one a few years back. Maybe that was 90s Dance in general. Definitely one I'm more likely to participate in or even help run.

Wanna say I'd love to see this one happen.

Yes!

CLOSING THIS WEEKEND

It Sure Got POLLED After The Rain Fell: ILM Artist Poll #110 – ZZ Top

I wish there was a Monkees poll just so it could be called "POLL It."

Randy Scouse POLLt

I POLLed It On The ILX! - ILM Artist Poll #110 - ZZ Top - Results Thread

going to run a Low poll next month

anyone going to run anything before it?

neechy lets get the grunge poll going!

My dads been in hospital for 10 weeks and when he comes home he will need a full care package as he's not able to walk anymore, so unfortunately I wont have the time for the forseeable unless I can get a co-runner who would do all the heavy lifting for the poll, which would be a bit unfair on them, but if anyones up for it, let me know.

no worries, sorry to hear about your pop. i may be interested in running it but prob later this month

i think a japan/solo projects poll would be really good sometime, maybe i'll try to run that next year.

I'd certainly vote! Though I love Japan, I might rate Gone to Earth as the best thing Sylvian's worked on.

It's Halloween season, should I do The Banshees poll ?

I would vote in a Banshees poll.

I’d be into a Japan poll for sure.

going to start the low poll next week

I guess, considering my no wave poll got skipped over a bunch of times, I should just do it whenever I feel like it, as long as there isn't something else major going on?

yeah there hasn't been any real order for years bc a lot of the polls at the top of the waiting list were by people who aren't active here anymore or now too busy to run anything, you can just run it whenever you feel like it & there's not something else on

there are often long periods when no one's running anything so if you see an opportunity, just go for it

Low, NIN and Aphex are polls I'm very excited about. Hope to see the latter two soon at some point soon.

I would also be excited about the Aphex poll ... tho it doesn't seem Stevie D has responded since it was last bumped.

I could maybe do it if there’s enough interest and there’s no problem about me stealing it.

Massively up for an Aphex poll

argh sorry was just doing a test!

EPILEPSY WARNING

Was thinking it'd be cool to do some glitchy animations for the afx poll, but it might be a ton of work and wanted to see if it worked.. seems it does lol

Also sorry I don't know if there's epileptic people on ilm and if this sort of thing might be triggering. please delete mods.

I'm going to sign up to run Daft Punk and try to run it next summer

not epileptic and that gif has me very excited for you to run an aphex poll! seems like you can just hide them behind spoiler tags and won't be an issue, no

Ah yes spoiler tags could be a solution!

not all of them would be as agressively cut, some of them could have calm transitions. I've never done gifs before tbh, still got plenty of tricks to learn.

I think I chased anyone with epilepsy off of ILX years ago :-/

So go for it imo!

LET'S SEE

YES. I would be so hype. An AFX poll would be massive and super fun.

Yes please

+1 for afx

Think I'm getting the hang of it now... I might be ready...

Still experimenting... Less frantic looks better I think?

i'm starting the low poll on saturday, then it's probably into EOY season

We used to run artists polls thru December

I'm definitely voting in the low poll for "Low, Transient Waves & Piano Magic - Sleep at the Bottom" as my numero uno!

K, I'll come back when low is over and we'll check the schedule.

Gonna need about six months to listen to the SoundCloud dump
