Only 36 people so far! I hoped for more if you consider that a POH gathers 300 more or less. Am I right?

Not many frequent this forum. Even fewer still that actually post here. 36 actually seems like a lot when you consider they have been saying for over a year that there wouldn't be an open house in 2013 or 2014. People really don't have much motivation to look or post here except the die hards.

I have relatives there. I am somewhat familiar with how backwards things are there and perceptions also are quite different.

Considering the regular users that post in this forum prolly number closer to 5-10 that is a decent response.

Just because 300 people haven't voted yet, don't mean they won't show up. Believe me, they will. I've got 2 to 3 people who said they will be coming with me, and only one of them posts here ever so often. So don't worry.

Weird, because it comes and goes (it has been like that since the beginning)...please, I would like to know who voted for Africa and from which country he/she is. Just super curious, that´s why I made the poll in the first place.

Maybe the 'changing votes option' allows for if someone thinks they are going, then if something comes up and they can't... :?:

That´s why I allowed it. Besides, what´s the point in voting for a continent that you don´t live in? I assume most of the people in the forums are grown ups...

Except that once you vote, you can't remove your vote. You can only change it to one of the other available options. You would have needed to include an option to indicate that the person could no longer attend.

The one thing it would work for though is if you moved from one country to the next. Maybe that person keeps moving between Africa and anywhere else, then back to Africa

My mistake! I have corrected it by adding "Drop Out". Oh, the poll is now reset :x Well, I think it´s another mistake but I can not fix it. Sorry...I hope everyone can vote again.

Well, I lost the 2 brothers, the oldest, because be basicly forgot, and signed up for collage classes and finals are during the open house. The other brother was going to go, just because the oldest was going and since he isn't going, he's not now. They have a younger brother, I asked him, and he said he is interested, and going so if he can swing things to come.
