Favorite Front End
Hoopz:
People can only vote for one at a time so unless they're asking their moms to sign up to vote too, I don't see any reason to be worked up about who is leading.
The other thing to consider is that there is probably a huge number of people who either don't visit this site or will never vote for whatever reason.
Here are some stats that Saint pulled for 2009:
1,093,737 unique visitors (measured by unique IP addresses)
2,237,321 visits
1.1 million unique IPs. Assume most of us browse from home/work/school/phone/vacation/in-laws etc, I say that's maybe 8-10 different IPs per user. 100,000 unique people visiting the site a year? Perhaps.
We have 658 votes. Not the biggest sample to base anything off of. :dunno

HyperSpin must be doing something right...
Looking at the official forums for the various front ends... The HyperSpin forum has by far the most active community out of any other front end. ??? HyperSpin has close to the same number of members as BYOAC.

Mala: From what I can tell Mala uses BYOAC as their Official forums.
Not to mention, HyperSpin is also the newest front end out with only 1.5 years where MALA has been around since the stone ages, GameEx and Maximus both have been around for 3-5 years. We may be the new kids on the block, but we are doing something right.

I think the stats would be alot different if users didn't have to join the forums to download it. In my experience most people join forums to get help, but I would say in HS case it would be to download the program and themes. I'm not saying which FE has more users but that fact combined with the pinned topic probably doesn't hurt the numbers it's getting :)

Well, we could always ask Circo to see which version of Emumovies are being downloaded the most... As far as I know HS is the only FE that supports FLV video. Surely people wouldn't be downloading 8-13gb of files not to be using them.
I do know that since the HyperSpin release the number of subscribers to EmuMovies services have more than doubled within a couple months and has steadily increased since then.
If you really think the pinned thread on our forums is skewing results here; I'm more than happy to have that thread removed...

Hmm...... define active, when people start a thread on the forums (at least lately) it stays on the main forum front page (without any new responses) for a while depending on various things though.
Seriously though, hyperspin is great.. so are many other front ends. These poll numbers will not reflect which is best for you, try a few of them out and make the decision yourself.
We should have people post pics of their cabs with their frontend instead of a poll, I have searched for hyperspin cabs (on youtube) in the past out of curiosity, wonder if they hyperpin people are so exhausted after setting up their frontend that they don't have as much energy left for the cab ;)
