We are larger in terms of visits and voters for both the unix and gis sites, even though we have fewer badges, because we have only 1 election, they have multiple.
stats too.... which makes us clearly top 10
It is without doubt the biggest ever beta-graduation election by a very long way
yup... also, for many of the sites, they have had multiple elections to award badges, so, the four sites larger than Code Review, unix, stats, scifi, and gis, all have multiple elections, and their biggest election is smaller than ours
With 623 votes at their largest, we can also probably beat english (we beat them already in terms of visitors to the election page).
@Phrancis My parents have just moved to Canada (arrived last wednesday), they are moving in to a house, etc. It all needs a bunch of work, and they need to be settled in.
I am going on holiday too (literally) for a week at least (off to a resort - limited internet).
My wife is starting a publishing business, and needs help.
I have had so much fun so it is hard to separate how much is volunteer/play time, and how much is "not fun", but I need to see the fun parts again. Behind the scenes it has been stressful "negotiating" with the powers-that-be.
My prediction: Jamal, 200_success, Mat's Mug, myself, janos (yes, janos will be a moderator. Within a few months Stack Exchange will realize their mistake and bring in janos)
I suspect that a lot of people may vote for their 3-rd choice candidate first, because "it's obvious that Janmal and 200_success will get in, no need to vote for them".
that's one "bad case"
Anyway, I thing the results are going to generate a lot of conversation ;-)
So, Simon, in less than an hour you may have the cumulative burden of responsibility for a site of 60,000 people that are trusting you.... how do you feel?
> Winners are Simon André Forsberg, 200_success, Jamal, and Mat's Mug.

No worries about that. Besides, the site community is running itself very well with 3 mods, so with 4 it will be a walk in the park, no need for a +1 ;-)

I mentioned something like this in the mod room earlier, but I suppose I should say it publicly too: rolfl, Jamal and 200_success were some of the best mods you could have asked for. Nearly every day I find myself wondering how I can make the community/mod relationship on other sites a little more like the one you've had here for the past year+. It's impossible to measure exactly how much better they've made CR by being the mod team, but I'm certain it's "a lot." None of which is to discount the fact that you CR people are amazing to begin with!

@rolfl Indeed, much of my last week has been spent on playing musical diamonds. And gently encouraging the spread of Jamalization of questions (as a practice if not a term).
@SimonAndréForsberg @Mat'sMug congratulations and welcome!
And to the rest of the candidates, welcome to the other club I'm a member of, People Who Have Lost Stack Exchange Elections. You all really were a strong field.
