A total of 15 votes have been cast on this poll.

[UPDATE]
We did it! Everyone's votes are "back."
[/UPDATE]

A realization just hit me and it could be very good for everyone.

We still possess all vote *counts* for every video up to the crash of 311, meaning the actual number of votes received for each video. We could use these numbers to reset all videos to their received votes before the data loss and also restore the total votes received for all submitter's, returning their rank to where it was before.

The only thing we're actually missing vote-wise is the actual voter information. If we do what I suggest above, the videos will have a vote total, but no voters (unless we create dummy vote records from siftbot, and that's probably what we'd have to do). This would mean that the original voters would be able to vote on them again. That's not too big a price to pay to return every submitter the vote totals that are rightfully theirs.

The result of this may be combined with the other poll:

In point of fact, if we did restore all vote counts, we could also restore all voter info up to Sep 2, 2007...
