Poll Results and Things

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Thanks for all the replies to the “How did you first find Station V3?” poll! I had planned to leave it up a while longer, but apparently the poll plugin I was using made the site use more than its share of the server’s CPU. (In case you were wondering why the site was down for part of last Thursday, that was the reason!) The results were staying about the same as additional votes came in, though… A lot of you first found the site through the Monolith ads, and a lot of you found it through a link from another comic. So I’ll keep running the Monolith ads (which have certainly done better than some of the others I’ve tried), and if any of you have a comic (or other site) and want to link to Station V3, go right ahead! (Some link buttons are available here, if you like that sort of thing!)

Probably the biggest surprise was that nobody voted for the Facebook/Myspace/Twitter option or the Stumbleupon/Reddit option, considering how much traffic has come from some of those sites at times (especially Stumbleupon) – so don’t let that stop you from pressing any of the “share” buttons on any strips you happen to like!

Also, the “comic voting site” option only got a few votes, but I’m going to keep putting up occasional voting bonuses (like the picture of Ebb meeting a Tree of the Celestial Orb that just went up) – they do point at least a few people in V3’s direction, and I enjoy making them! (Also, it gives me something to put in the bonus archive – Which has just been updated again!) :)

A Poll

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

In the conversation following the “Years in Review” post, people have mentioned trying to get other people to read Station V3, finding Station V3 through the “It’s a Monolith!” ad I’ve run for it (based on this strip) – so how did YOU first find Station V3?

(Edit – Poll closed! Thanks for your replies.)

How did you first find Station V3?

  • The “It’s a monolith!” ad (44%, 72 Votes)
  • Link from another comic (34%, 55 Votes)
  • Other (10%, 17 Votes)
  • An ad for V3 other than “It’s a monolith!” (6%, 10 Votes)
  • Link from a blog (2%, 4 Votes)
  • A comic voting site (like TopWebcomics) (2%, 3 Votes)
  • A comic listing site (like TheWebcomicList.com) (1%, 2 Votes)
  • Link from a forum (1%, 1 Votes)
  • Twitter/Myspace/Facebook/etc. (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Stumbleupon/Reddit/etc. (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 164

Speaking of option 9 in the poll, there’s a new voting bonus strip up today (first one of the year!) – A sprite strip in which reality’s gone a little funny.

And in other news, there’s a new episode of PodWarp 1999 up now, recorded earlier this week!

Another look at the poll

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Sprite strips just got a vote in the bonus preference poll, so there are two sprite strips up as today’s voting bonuses. In the first one, Linton and Ebb discuss the Chef’s special. But “alternate version of a strip” also picked up another vote, putting it in the lead, so the second one is an alternate version of today’s strip, with the Alternate Universe rumormonger sprites. Thanks for voting!

Poll update and bonus

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

So far in the bonus preference poll on the forum, “alternate version of a strip” is ahead of both bad translations and sprite strips. But… What if they were also alternate versions of a strip? Vote for Station V3 at TopWebcomics to see a bad translation of a slightly alternate version of today’s strip, and at buzzComix to see the sprite version.

You can see how it might be hard to interpret the poll results! (And also that it might be just a bit early to even try, since there aren’t that many votes in…)

Bonus update and poll

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Two new voting bonuses today – a bad translation of today’s strip, and a sprite strip in which one of the rumormongers explains what happened to the Rumormonger Idol Reunion Special.

If you have a bonus request, you can post it here. If you’d like to share your opinion on what kind of bonus you like to see without having to say anything, you can vote in the poll here. If you don’t have any requests or opinions, but would like to see the list of search strings that led people here last month, that’s here. And if you’d like to visit the forum without doing any of that, you can do that too! Lots of options. (Which are all, of course, optional!)
