I would like to clarify some points on the in-progress submission and voting process.
If you plan on making a submission then I also recommend you read the original article with full instructions. Unfortunately, if you did not register to vote before April 12, you are out of luck for this vote.
If you want more information about bounces, plain text email, or voting read this comment by audioguy.

The first two sentences from that article:
Sorry about the confusion, but there's no way to add any more users for this vote. 500 users managed to sign up despite the quirks in our method so we should have a decent sample-size for the vote.

The requirement to opt-in is clearly spelled out, to be fair. I would make the suggestion that critical information be put in bold in the future. Much like how this submission was handled.
Not being critical, it just that sometimes submissions are scanned quickly if one is in a rush. I missed the above myself, though I readily admit I should have caught it.
That all being said, thank you to all for helping to make a new home for my tech news needs. Nothing of importance is built overnight and everything is (hopefully) a learning experience.
