2022 BRN Discussion, page-5094

"Ah, so there are two threads, the total messages in each (and may I point out that not all of them even state the poster is casting a vote) still total under 199 posts total and do not constitute the "hundreds" of votes for which the presenter announced".

Peter had roughly 600 votes in total cast for him.

You have already identified almost 200 posts on the "call to arms" voting threads on HC alone. There are also the facebook groups, Twitter, Telegram groups, etc etc.

This means the HotCopper/social media vote (made up of shareholders/traders) contribution was very significant indeed.

I acknowledge the award was good marketing and take my hat off to people here that helped orchestrate the win. When people not in the know read PVDM won an AI Innovation award, many will think this carries some weight.

However, if these same people became aware the award was won in part because BRN shareholders/traders on various social media platforms (HotCopper, Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, ** etc) mobilised forces to vote for PVDM, they might think very differently.
