After seeing Yes live on acid, they easily take the cake as one of the natural wonders of the world. I hate to even vote in this. BUT TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS FOR GOD SAKES!!

Lol'd!  LOLLOLLOL

Although I am disappointed that Yes didn't advance, I agree with what most people are saying about this poll closing "controversy." Let us just move on knowing that we don't have to fear living the next 4 years under the reign of Genesis supremacy (wonder what that would be like). A poll is a poll, and means very little in the grand scheme of things, even within the scope of the progarchives forums.

If this poll continues actively, as it is despite being over, then a more conclusive result may emerge. Higher numbers equal a more accurate result no?

Well, DT ended up getting many more votes after they lost, and they are still out of the tournament, so I'm assuming it won't change anything.
 
There was a finishing date when the poll started..SEPTEMBER 19, everybodody had to know it because it was in the first page,the started waited until September 19 and closed the poll in the determined date.
 
And people knew they had toi vote before that date.
 
BTW: No, more votes are not accurate, because many people who know the rules and could vote for Genesis, are not doing it because the poll has ended,

A date still provides a 24-hour window, and the pollmaker's own post indicated that he was happy to end the poll at 9:43 am EST when Genesis was up a paltry one vote.  For the Riverside vs PoS poll, he called it off at 21:48 am EST.  That isn't consistent at all, and a finishing date means nothing.

Well said.  Even though these polls are "for fun", consistency of end times would be nice.  I feel Yes got cheated.

I voted for YES and I've never been a Genesis fan startiong from when a friend removed the tape of Atom Heart Mother from the car stereo to put in And Then there were three.
For me Camel are better than Genesis and they have been eliminated by Genesis in round 2.

There are no winners or losers and UndercoverBoy doesn't have any responsibility as referee. Justice or injustice, 109 persons mistaken their vote (this is a joke of course) and this is why Genesis advanced to the next round.

I have made the same consideration about the time of the poll's closure, I can also understand that there's people who really loves those bands and some "sentiments" are involved, but I think we shouldn't discuss about the rules of the game as it's not really a game. 

This poll is great, even if Genesis win.
