Come on Xarians, when I voted Crel Draw Had 7% and Adobe Illustrator was level with Xara at 4% with 22 votes each. Get Voting.

They had a total of somewhere around 400 votes.
We have 2000 (or more I have not looked today) registered members in this conference.
If 1/4 of us voted, we'd win.

Though I would show my support - as everyone else on this topic is an admin or modorator.
Hey Gary, do I get a free trip to England to visit the XaraX place, etc, etc like the 2000'th member?

I became number 34 and it still shows 6%. Where are all the rest of the Xarians?

We have over 2000 members on the board currently. The digit poll only has 491 votes so far. We can actually beat Photoshop in the polls if we ALL vote.
Yes, I know, PS is a good program, but they get enough coverage as it is. Let them hear your vote for Xara!

So far 54 votes to Xara X and now reach the 10 %.
Where are the others votes?

I can even bring my own crumpets too..
Q.
"XARA is the best graphics program because it is fast intuitive and extensible in the hands of a good graphics artist."
thats what I wrote..
Q.
"What about MS Paint...'tis great"
oooh. hard to argue with this..
<font size="1">"'Q'.."
"yes?"
"guess what I'm about to say"
"uh.. "you look tired Q, take the day off"?"
"GET BACK TO WORK!!"</font>
13 % and second place is a good spot on short notice. Keep the poll on top and keep things rolling.
N
I just voted
86 votes and 15 %
At 08:40, XaraX had dropped back to 9%. Yes, I did vote for it while I was there. Is there anything to stop us revoting (who can remember where they've been)? Will Thomas extend this weekend prize to multiple voters (Gary started something)?
Jon
Greetings,
I voted yesterday and found that you have one vote per IP address, hence my Office friends here couldn't vote (behind the firewall, everyone accessing the site will have the same IP address)
There are quite a few people here who use XaraX (and only one CorelDraw nut(case)) and its a shame we can't all vote...
Sigh...
James
multi votes from one person are more likely to invalidate the poll. I would recommend one vote per xarian. you can still visit the site and click on "results" to view the progress. We're up to 16% with 99 votes.
COME ON GET VOTING!!!!

I was number 126 and its now up to 18%. Come on everyone, get your votes in.

It's odd. Over 400 persons have read this post (although I suppose many are multiple visits) and they there are only 130+ votes.
C'mon lurkers. You don't even have to answer any personal questions or divulge who you are, where you live, sexual preferences or any other embarrassing information. VOTE!

<font size="1">waa.. no! I didnt mean to send this -come back!! come Back!!</font>
?
OK, I almost didn't vote, I thought it was the other vote. 138th brought us up to 19% (Photoshop still reigning, that's not even in our price range, is it?) [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]
Ain't life a kick?
There are 2025 forum members this now and only 140 have voted!
Maybe Mr Sorrill could fire off an email to the rest of the Xarians to get off their buts and show their appreciation for Xara?
Hi guys,
We've got elections yesterday in the place where I live, and many people didn't vote, that's the sad true...
But anyway, the few people who decided for the others brings a hope, our candidate is 15% ahead of the second competitor.
I have already voted for Xara, maybe there is a lot of people inactive or one visit members.
Come on to vote, I didn't like the second places!!
Regards,
Juan
Just curious. I know that many of us have voted but I would like to know if you have read this post and did not vote, why?
[ ] Do you not think Xara is the best?
[ ] Do you think another product is better?
[ ] Are you afraid your privacy will be invaded?
[ ] Other (please explain)

Friends, Although there are over two thousand members, they are not necessarily xara users. I suspect there are probably a couple hundred regulars to this Xara forum. Many probably don't check it ten or more times a day like yours truly. Some may just drop in every week or two.
I'd say the numbers showing up in the poll are pretty impressive. They will certainly make many visitors to that site take notice of xara. If xara had more votes than photoshop it would look like the poll was rigged. Fact is there are many more devoted photoshop users than xarans. What we lack in quantity we make up in enthusiasm!
I know most of us tell others about xara. That is good because word of mouth is probably the best way for us to help Xara Ltd. expand their user base. Keep on spreading the word!
The talkgraphics.com forums also help spread the word. A visitor to the non-xara forums can't help but be aware of xara given the cross-polination happening between forums. Gary David Bouton (moderator of the 3d forum) for instance, regularly gushes how xara is so important in his work. That can't help but influence that forum's regulars. In our word of mouth efforts it certainly doesn't hurt to tell others about the other forums - ones that at this point might be of more interest to them than the xara ones. Eventually they will wonder over here and be blown away by the quality of what we do with xara.
In the last few days I've tried a experiment at the general Gallery forum (not the Xara Gallery). I noticed that talkgraphics.com participants talk almost exclusively about computer-generated graphics. Why is that? I thought it might be productive to start encouraging a little talk about other non-computer graphics techniques. The thought was that there is the potential to open things up a bit and welcome some new users to participate. - Users who through the cross-polination will come to know xara too. As well there is so much to learn from other mediums: Just look how good the recent hair drawing tips offered by Bill Clegg are. They wouldn't have existed if Bill didn't have experience in drawing pastel portraits.
If you know any artists, sketchers, cartoonists, etc. why not tell them about the Gallery Forum and invite them to check it out. This talkgraphics.com thing can be a great resource for *anyone* interested in graphics. Spread the word.

I voted when this thread first began, and I voted for XaraX, but mainly to support the XaraX people. Fact is I don't know too much (if anything) about the other programs in the poll. I guess that doesn't really matter...
Photoshop has about 44% and Xara is closing in at 20%. Not bad.
If you haven't voted yet, please do.
And consider this: The more people who know about Xara, the more people will try (and of course buy) Xara. The more people who buy Xara, the more capital Xara will have to continue to improve this fine application. And at that rate, the next time digit takes a poll the numbers could be the other way around :-)

So at 167 votes Xara has 20% of the vote and is number two behind Photoshop, and the most popular vector bases program. VVEEERRRRY Interesting!

As a newcomer to Xara X and a long time Draw user, I considered the question "What is the best digital art package."
And in that context Xara X got the vote. Very hard not to vote any other way based on the examples in this and the Xara Gallery forum.

5:10 pm Tues july 7. the west coast canada.

This is great! Digit is a very good mag, and they have a very balanced overview. Isn't it fantastic to see Xara in second place? When the poll is published, can you imagine how many people will look at it and go "Xara. What's that?" And then of course they'll try it. And if they have a clue - be hooked. Sorry to gush on, but I just love justice. In today's business climate it is so rare to see a small independent software house in such a strong position. And this is because they know what designers really need and take a sussed rational approach to providing it. I mean, god bless Adobe - I couldn't live without Photoshop, (I could live without the 20 second startup time) but where is Illustrator going? Give me a break! Rock on Xara.
