I'm very disappointed in you guys. You all claim to be fans of classic cartoons. But whenever an opportunity comes to support those cartoons, you always let them down. It's bad enough that Speedy Gonzales was banned. Did he have to suffer the indignity of losing to Darkwing Duck in the John Delaney poll as well? Of course not. The only reason that he lost, the only reason Daffy Duck lost, and the only reason Wile E. Coyote lost was because you guys just didn't care! There's no reason why a Looney Tunes character can't get 100 votes in the John Delaney poll. The TTTP is the 2nd largest board on all of Toon Zone, it is read by hundreds of people each day, but only 20 or 30 of you care enough to take the 10 measely seconds it takes to vote on a poll?? We're the laughing stock of TZ because we're unable to mobilize even a fraction of our board members to vote for our characters. John Delaney had to add Daffy Duck in his latest sketch as a consolation, because it was obvious to him that a Looney Tunes character would never really win. Why does it have to be this way?
Tweety & Sylvester are in this week's poll. The drawing is specifically supposed to be from "Hyde & Go Tweet". Imagine a drawing of the Mr. Hyde Tweety standing over a cowering Sylvester? Isn't it glorious? Well, it will never be drawn, because you guys just can't be bothered to vote. I have absolutely no faith that they will win. Only you can prove me wrong. Yes, you there! The person reading this post! Click on this giant link, vote for Tweety & Sylvester, and make me look like a fool! Do it now!
Vote for Tweety & Sylvester! (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28642)

Guys, Speedy lost to Darkwing Duck for goodness sakes! Get out there and vote for Sylvester and Tweety!!! If they win, the drawing will even be based on the fan favorite cartoon: "Hyde and Go Tweet"! If you don't vote, it would be shameful!

I just voted. I should mention that whenever there is a LT/MM character on the poll, I always vote for it. Even when tempted to vote for another option.
This post took longer than it takes to go there and vote for someone.

I'm not a big fan of Tweety....but Sylvester's one of my favorite's so I'll vote for it anyway. ;)

Don't get your hopes up. It's a long way from over. I think Sylvester/Tweety might lose due to people who haven't voted yet.
Joe Tully

I think that they stand a good chance this week. The votes for the other choices are very scattered, so there's not ONE other candidate in competition with him, but a few which all get some votes but still do worse than Tweety & Sylvester. If we get enough people from here to participate, I think that we have a good chance.

I didn't vote the classic cartoon character this time around, but I did tell Jerry Beck about the poll last week. He didn't know what the poll was about until I showed him the Delaney gallary. He was so impressed with the work, he went and voted for Speedy!
Are you going to let a mod on the Craptoon Craptoon Board show you up? Vote Tweety!
BTW Cartoon Cartoons are better than the classics :o

In the last few polls, the winner(s) got around 75 votes. When Tweety & Sylvester get that many, I'll relax. But until then, we need to push and push hard!

Excuse me, Brian, but I don't vote for any polls for a good reason-for some reason, 90% of the time, when I try, I get a screen that reads, in effect, "Sorry, but it didn't work. try again". In other words, it's not counting my vote. Maybe the fact that I use Webtv (pardon me, MSNtv) is why. But I get a default screen when I try t vote, so I don't bother.

Well my vote for the troublesome cat and mouse makes the score currently at 43, that's 10 behind the current second place holder, The Watchman. It's looking pretty good so far!

:confused: Cat and mouse? What? Also, Tweety and Sylvester are 10 ahead of the Watchman.

Ok, Tweety and Sylvester are currently in the lead... but "The Watchmen" are catching up fast!
(Uh, just who ARE the Watchmen anyway? Never heard of 'em)
So, get out there and VOTE TWEETY AND SYLVESTER. :cool:

GOOD NEWS !! TWEETY & SYLVESTER are STILL in the lead!! If you haven't voted, go do it now! Do it for the good ol' TTTP! If we lose this week, we will all have to wear paper bags over our heads while all the other boards all point and say "There goes the guys from the board that couldn't get any of their characters to win a John Delaney Poll!" You don't want that to happen, do you? :p

Two words, Brian: CALM DOWN. Maybe some people, such as myself, were not even aware there WAS a poll going on. I'm having a tough time in my personal life right now, and the last thing I need is you berating ALL of us- especially me, but yes, ALL of us- for not voting. Is it the end of the world? Not by a long shot. It's just a damn poll. There are more important things to worry about. Talk to the people who DESERVE to be yelled at for not voting, but don't just scoop every single person, regardless of any context or reason why they didn't vote, into one big lump and belittle ALL of us. By saying EVERYONE should read your post, not only do you make some of us feel bad, but "EVERYONE" includes the people who DID vote, and THEY definitely don't deserve your criticism. Maybe it induced some of us to vote, but on the whole it was a foolish thing to do and an unfair way to go about doing it, and I'm pretty sure most of us didn't deserve such harsh criticism.

This post was made before reading the recent argument, and has nothing to do with it.
The Watchmen might be doing so well only because John voted for it, encouraging others who couldn't make up their mind. Tweety/Sylvester is still ahead by 13. It has a chance! Sonic the Hedgehog is close behind The Watchmen. Another possible reason for other LT characters doing so bad is this: There are many World's Finest boards, and only one active discussion board for The Unofficial Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Page. That is a serious disadvantage, to say the least. Some people who rarely post to the TTTP might still vote for Sylvester and Tweety, which is why they have a chance.
Maybe I have gone on too long? :yawn:

Some people upset by Brian's post need to chill out and take a lesson in the art of *sarcasm*. It's a wonderful thing once you know how to use it properly. I think Brian has it down quite nicely.
Joe Tully
04-11-2002, 04:59 PM
Only 24 hours left to go and we are still ahead, but only by 10 votes. A lot of people vote on the last day, and the last poll got about 300 votes, so I think we can expect up to 40 more to roll in before the poll closes. And you know that most of the members of the other boards won't be choosing Sylvester & Tweety. Don't let Tweety & Sylvester lose at the last minute, guys! Vote now if you haven't already!

Tweety & Sylvester are losing ground fast to Sonic the Hedgehog! Go vote if you haven't yet!

Brian, I'll be blunt. I really, really, really, really hate everybody nagging me on who to vote for on these Delaney polls. It's in people's signatures. It's got threads on most of the boards. It's everywhere, and it's getting on my nerves. I know I've voted in these things in the past, but I can't remember who for. There's been so much electioneering that I doubt I'll vote. I hope you get your wish, but give it a rest, please.

Of course I voted for Tweety & Sylvester!!!
Who else would I vote for??
But then again, I am JUST a little bias..............

Thought I should come back by and apologize if it sounds like I'm biting Brian's head off. I've been avoiding these threads and the title confused me. I thought he and Harley were having a baby or something.
So, Brian, I'm sorry. And thanks. And congratulations.
