So if we're going to do this again, I guess we need a comprehensive list of software tuners. In no particular order, here are the ones I can think of:
EPL, Protomotive, EVOMSit, GIAC, UMW, Softronic/Vivid, Revo, APR, FVD, Upsolute, Sportec, RUF, Gemballa, Superchips, Switzer, Orton, Autothority.
Anyone have any more to add?

Is it possible to have a poll where you can see who voted for what. I think transparency is our friend with this one?

What significance do you attach to the identity of the person who added their tune to the poll? Are you interested in the identity of the folks who have a reputation for Porsche performance as opposed to those who are just average P-car owners?
I have no real opposition to revealing identities, but would like to know what you or the group feels the identity of the contributor adds to or detracts from the poll. I can see that it could be a marketing advantage for some tuners to see their product posted by someone who's a known who's who.....but are you interested in the numbers or want to somehow bolster the objective of the poll by including identities?
I guess folks like Statsman or other folks better versed in polls and statistical collection would be a better source of info on poll structure.

I would prefer to go with two polls:
1. anonymous with what you are running
2. anonymous with a tune you have had and moved from because of technical problems (not because you wanted to changel...but because you had issues like stalling, etc.....)
So, big deal if vendor x has 80 sales if they have had 40 "problems".....causing a move.....
Anonymous so no one gets their tuner "mad at them"....
I for one have not had any problems...just want this to be more than a reflection of word of mouth and/or advertising success....

My reasons are twofold:
1. Yes, I think you tend to agree with some people's mod philosophies more than others. It would be helpful for the viewer to see how people who they deem to be like-minded or informed choose.
2. I think it would be a deterrent to some people getting "creative" with the poll. For example, if one tuner's voting base is chock full of people who freshly joined and who have 1 post, it would alert everyone to a problem. Also, I don't know if people can vote multiple times, but it would obviously deter that as well.

Doesn't the poll software identify the incoming vote by userid and prevent a double vote once the person has already cast his/her vote? If so, that would eliminate one of your concerns. Anonymity has its advantages just as well as its disadvantages. I guess the success of your effort would be based upon what most of the folks feel comfortable with. I am making an unscientific assumption that I think that most people feel more comfortable with an anonymous poll. Maybe another field in the poll should contain a check mark for a question like....Would you recommend this tune to another person....with a simple yes/no.

To be honest guys, I was just providing the list of tuners to make sure no-one got left out. I don't really care too much about the poll. Frankly I think "because everyone else has it" is kind of a crappy reason to buy a tune.
If anyone else wants to make the poll, feel free, but I think I'll take a pass.
