Hello, readers! This is a last call to vote for the image that will be used on the 2009 Raja Ampat park tag, which will be attached to every visiting diver’s BCD. The voting deadline is on Thursday, September 25, 2008. It only takes a minute or two, so vote now!

On a serious note, we’ve noticed some strange voting activity. It appears that some people are creating new users solely for the purpose of voting in the tag contest. We’ve analyzed the logs—it’s pretty obvious, so I’ve changed the voting logic to try to account for some of this.  We are not saying that you shouldn’t encourage all of your friends to come vote. Just don’t try to game the system.

OK—vote away!
