That site sucks.
Last Year I registered to vote, I have tried a lot of things and find no way to vote, Then someone told me I need to make a post (oh ! a really smart way to avoid robots :) ), so I made a post, no way to vote, one told me I need to wait some time to "refresh" the data, other said that I need to log off/log on, etc, etc, etc. so I gave up.
This year I entered the site, remembered that I need to make a post to vote, and just press the log off button.
Am I lazy ? Perhaps... But I really dislike that site, will not vote there, period.
And couldn't agree more that Firebird users lost his passion... Why ? I don't know...

Re: [firebird-support] OT: Vote for Firebird as Database of the Year 2013 at LinuxQuestions From my own experience with the number of votes in polls at firebidNews.org and firebase.com.br, I think people are "lazy" about voting.
This LinuxQuestions poll is even "worse" in such aspect, since not everyone uses FB on Linux, and even when they use, most people don't wanna waste 5 minutes registering to a site they will not use, just to be able to vote por FB. I would say that in the past, Firebird users were more passionate about the product. Unfortunately, this seems to not be true anymore (and I could list some possible reasons for that).

Hi All,
I think more than 6000 people here should be more active in terms of Firebird visibility support - this poll received only 29 votes for Firebird.
Also, it would be nice to have more testimonials from Firebirders:

(submit your testimonial in the end of the page - in any language).
