Sorry but the voting results where like this :
Keep btctalk 53.9%
Keep it as is - 28 (44.4%)
Close it and start a new btctalk thread - 6 (9.5%)
End btctalk 46%
End it with link to new forum - 17 (27%)
Delete it and link to new forum - 12 (19%)
SO why make a voting, if they have decieded to close it anyways.
The majority voted for having a btctalk thread and leave the old one open.
You cannnot count " Close it and start a new btctalk thread " to "End btctalk" this is a contradiction.
So the majority voted to keep an
unmoderated thread here in Bitcontalk and EffectsToCause interpreted this as the vote for closing it down forever. After all he is a scientists so he can twist the data to suit it for his own agenda.
The VRC team couldn't even manage to carry out with integrity a simple community voting ... that's great ... that's what VeriCoin became, a corrupted process.
I am glad I didn't even take part in their voting circus. I was sure it will be shamble even I couldn't imagine how a simple community voting can be corrupted, but never mind, EffectsToCause could manage that.
Sorry AltcoinUK, your logic is flawed. The majority voted to shut it down in some fashion. Then, someone named Jon, decided "Close it and start a new btctalk thread" meant "Keep it", so he (see above) moved it to the "Keep" column. Ironically, that is exactly what happened, so everyone should be happy now.
BTW: I am disappointed that you of all people did not vote.
