Voting for the new Hairstyles?

It could be a number of things - maybe there were a lot more entries than anticipated, or after the backlash about the stolen entries they're trying to be more thorough before publishing them.

Also, most contests they've done in the past didn't have an audience poll, so they could have run into some unexpected errors while getting that portion figured out. I've managed similar contests before, and one of the biggest challenges I've faced is finding a good poll system that can display more than 10 entries (among other things - such as displaying all the images in a good size, and tracking the number of votes per IP address to make sure nobody is cheating).

Winners of the transition art contest were announced today, so hopefully that means they'll be shifting more focus to the hairstyle contest.

I hope that's one of the reasons. I know my thread on the stolen art has received a bunch of likes.

The thing is they're not using a poll system. They're using the likes button as their judgement so people can vote on all the hairs if they so choose.

Would have been nice if they'd atleast notify us of what's happening and when to instead expect to start voting. We're completely left in the dark now
