Levis Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 When does the voting close Levis, my dear? Hmmm, I don't really know, I haven't thought of a deadline yet. I'd say you can start to panic once I vote because I'll probably aim to put up results 24 hours after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
