The votes I’ve earned are still dependent on the tastes of the community here. I never expected these videos to climb to near 50 votes:

I’ve also had my share of vids die in the “queue” too.

I’ll enjoy being “King of the Hill” (of flour that is) while I can. Other sifters will be on my heels shortly.

It’s good to be the King . . .

Now watch that three vote margin disappear.

Seriously, it's really nice that the community has taken off this way. The first couple of weeks I wore out my apple-v key from pasting embeds.

Your #1 is well-deserved.

Wow! I kept watching, just waiting for the day. Now DD is the one who will have to work like mad to keep his ranking. hee hee hee.

Yay!...and awww...and yay!...and aww...^inf.

I guess folks here are big fans of violence and natural disasters. (myself included, since I voted for all those three)

Who isn't a fan of violence and natural disasters? Even the conservative right which plays lip service to hating violence loves a good war and the death penalty.

Look out. I am going to get you all. At least I am #1 in the total votes: http://www.videosift.com/topusers.php?sortby=4 haha.

What the heck does "published votes" mean?

I guess the crown is going to bounce back and forth for a bit here . . . I did overlook two fifty plus animal vids:

The talking parrot has the highest number of votes of the videos I've posted. So violence and disasters are not the only vids that get lots of votes.

Published votes means that number of videos that you voted on that actually made it to published status.

And can I just say - looking at my comeback to the #1 position that "the cream always rises". ;-)

I'm just scheming on a return to the top five :-(
