Many of you are aware that the dpoll race for the 10K SP delegation is still on and it has been a really tough battle, but sadly, I don't think Qurator will make it. We are way too far behind and feel it's time to wave our white flag and give someone else a better chance of winning. We urge our members who have not voted yet to please go and vote for Power House Creatives (formerly Steemitbloggers) instead.
We are not picking favorites or sides but we feel they have been around for a long time and share similar values. We had a look at their wallet we realized that 10K SP will mean a lot more to them than it would for Qurator.
Once again I apologize again for tagging so many members but I wouldn't have done it if this wasn't a big deal. That 10K SP is worth a lot more than just a few mentions, it could totally change their community. If you already voted, go DM a friend and tell them to vote. =P
Thank you
Thank you for all the people who voted for Qurator already! I will personally get the full list and give you all a little boost once the poll is done. If you vote for Steemitbloggers please let me know in this post as well. I really do appreciate all the support.

What a very commendable gesture @scrooger! It does make my heart proud and swell with admiration that one community can be noble with such a large stake available; and to reach out to another community is wonderful.
agreed @goldendawne
All about communities and they need to look out for each other and help out where they can. =)
Hey there@scrooger😊 As a member of the awesome @powerhousecreatives, I wanted to thank you for the support!!
You are most welcome! =)
Oh, I'm so upset and disappointed with this message. I voted for @Qurator with a great desire, I sincerely wanted to win this vote for the Qurator community. My blog was never interesting for the community @steemitbloggers and my posts received no support from them. But I've always seen support from @Qurator and I'm still grateful for your support, even though I write much less these days. I admire your generosity in this situation and your position deserves great respect. @scrooger, thank you for all that you do for us. my voice is unchanged ...
I understand @madlenfox and I respect your opinion. I know I might get some members not too happy with my decision. I feel that we were way too far behind though, and since we are already pretty big I think someone like Steemitbloggers can use the extra SP. Yes, we will save some money having that extra SP but for them it will be a total game changer.
Thank you for your vote for Qurator. I really do appreciate it, if more Qurator members came to the party and did the same we could have actually won it, we do have 1600+ members but not all of them are that active anymore...
Thanks again
Thanks! As a member of both communities it is a pity that both can't win, but I do think it is important to empower a community that isn't location based, but based upon quality of content and engagement!
That is quite true, never really thought about that. But I do see where they are coming from. Many countries don't really have a lot of whales or supporters. For the CN community if they don't have any whales and none of the English whales show them support then that would take them ages to get anywhere. Still, I doubt that is the case. Let's see if Steemitbloggers can bring this home!
Yes, I am sympathetic to their application as well! However, I think a curated membership that is Not guaranteed a @steemitbloggers vote (it is not an autovote) is less prone to an abuse of the delegation. I don't mean that the communities would abuse it, but that where there is large money/power and open and uncritical support, there is a huge influx of bad actors!
Anyway, thanks for the help and support! I am also a proud member of @qurator!
You are quite right, I know there is abuse everywhere and I know with the extra SP there is room for some abuse. I also know and trust Zord so I have full trust what they will use it well. Not saying that the other groups won't. But see the point you are trying to make. =)
pushing that elbow grease I tell ya! lol
This is very big of you @scrooger! I was a little torn with so many great communities in the running initially, but I felt confident giving my vote to my crew the @steemitbloggers/#powerhousecreatives since the beginning! It truly is a powerhouse of individuals that have come together under the true FORCE that is @jaynie. I don't think I have ever seen someone work as hard as she has these last few days to support her community.
what a lovely comment and compliment @plantstoplanks! I must take my hat off to all of you as well... its so wonderful to see so much passion flowing through our server rooms! I will be honest, I am literally running on reserve right now, but it will be totally worth it whether we get it or not! :) Thanks for everything you are doing xxx
Continuing to send good energy your way and all around! 💓💓
Thank you darling!!!!!
I am so happy to see so many communities still around. I know steemitbloggers are very active and work really hard. I feel they need some more rewards and boosts for their efforts so I was more than happy to step aside, that and also not having the time to push as hard as they are currently are. I am amazed at how far and wide the message went to get the extra support. Loving it!
Thank you @scrooger and yes I have to agree - This has actually been REALLY positive for the platform as a whole! There is so much vibrant energy running through everywhere right now!
It really is wonderful to see such community spirit all around! I imagine this will only help but continue to bring about good things and future collaborations between so many amazing groups. 😊
This is PHENOMENAL. Thank you so much for the support!
You are most welcome!
This makes me sad, @scrooger and proud of @qurator 's generous spirit.
Not a sad thing at all, we were not pushing for votes too much, especially not early on. Sometimes with polls like that it is best to take it quite slow and rally really hard near the end.
Either way, @steemitbloggers really deserve it, they could do with that 10K.
Wow that is awesome :-) what an amazing gesture!
Thanks
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU @qurator & @scrooger!

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for your support @qurator and @scrooger! This truly DOES mean the world to us and we are working SO hard for it!!!! Your help so far has been invaluable!!!! thank you, thank you - a THOUSAND thank yous!!!!!
I didn't do that much, yet ;) But I am glad to help out wherever I can. =) Keep pushing!
doing my best lol! Energy levels are running on reserve but adrenaline is sufficing for now lol
Aw. I think that's really sad @scrooger. I don't understand. Everyone who's signed up to @qurator would really benefit from the delegation. Are a lot of the sign ups dead accounts now do you think?
There are quite a bit of dead accounts and also the odd few that kind of forgot they are even in Qurator. Mentions and Discord tagging can also only go that far. I guess I could have done more to get more votes, but I never realized Steemitbloggers' account is so small. For the amount they put in, I felt that they deserve that 10K way more. We ar epretty big and we do have to pay quite a bit to stay that way, but for them that will be a massive boost!
But Qurator would reach way more people and has reached way more people. They get my vote by a long way for all you do.
We can all always do more but we have to manage our time. I for one appreciate how much you all do here. 😍
That is perhaps true, we do try our best to help as many as we can. The sad truth is from our 1600 members not that many are still around and not that many will take action.
I was not going to back out at first but I know steemitbloggers have been around for quite some time. The small account was the final push for me, they need it, for us it would just be an extra boost and some savings. I am extremely grateful for your long term support and couldn't thank you enough. =)
Yes - there are members who haven't posted in some time; retention on steemit (especially with the price being what it is now) has been difficult.
I agree @goldendawne. I don't post anywhere near as much myself these days but I'm trying to keep things ticking over. 😁
Thank you for all you and the team do here. I admire your tenancity!
Much respect, Q is a treasure to the community, and I respect your decision. I voted for @steemitbloggers aka #powerhousecreatives :)
You are welcome, and thanks for understanding. I know it doesn't look that good if Q steps back but I Q is not the only project on Steemit that can do with a little boost. I just know it will mean more for their community.
Thank you @scrooger!!!! and all of @qurator!!! This has given us, the @steemitbloggers ( #powerhousecreatives ) HOPE in this fight for the 10K SP delegation. Much respect to you bro! salutes
Always a pleasure mate! Know you guys have been around ages and do some good things for the community. Wish the whales could actually do something more than just invest their SP. Communities are the people who post and blog about real stuff.
voted already :(
Still appreciate it! =)
All the best brother and @qurator

Thanks =)
Thank you thank you thank you! This is yet another example of how amazing the entire steemit community is, and a testament to what happens when we all work together. :-)
I've voted for you as witness! Good people make great witnesses. :-)
Teamwork and showing support where we can is what Steemit should be about. =)
Thank you so much for the witness vote =) They are hard to come by lately.
They are? I don't know much about witnesses really. Typically, when someone combines being awesome with being a witness AND a link for voting... they get my vote. Thanks for being awesome!
Wow!
Thanks @scrooger !
Communities helping communities is what Steemit is all about!
Resteeming..I really respect and have used info from you that you posted over a year ago, including Text dividers .. nice to meet you.
Done.
Awesome, thank you!
definitely not @scrooger ... my vote has gone to Spunkee Monkee.. I'm sure that Steemitbloggers does good supporting creatives on the platform but Spunkee Monkee is going to be bringing families with kids onto the platform and guide those kids in partnership with their parents to grow into great adults. I'm all in behind that.
With all due respect @shadowspub - Have you taken a look at the polls lately? I am a mom too - my son is ALREADY here on steemit and I FULLY support their initiative, but at this stage with the clock ticking, there are three choices - and that is where the "bigger picture" comes into play. The two other runners are secular communities... we are the exact opposite and are here to support ALL the proactive initiatives on Steemit - and that includes @Spunkeemonkee. We are here to work together. Alienation does not help anyone. We are eternally grateful to @scrooger and the entire @qurator community as well as the @freewritehouse community and @mariannewest for their acknowledgement of how much we as @steemitbloggers contribute to this platform as well as @theluvbug and me, as an individual.
I hope you will see at some point that we are here for EVERYONE who has a shared goal and vision. We are not islands.
That’s nice...I am a member of quator and do not support their choice in this...that is my right last I checked. And what exactly does being secular have to do with this?
Posted using Partiko iOS
Was merely explaining that we are all on the same team @shadowspub. Whilst disappointing, it is relatively obvious that @Spunkeemonkee will not win the delegation race. Out of the top three, my community are the broadest supporters of such initiatives - in fact most of our members are involved in them too, so I was simply saying that the delegation has a far greater chance of being used in the direction of qurator and other involved parties in the poll, if Steemit Bloggers win. I was not challenging or disregarding your choice of support, but why lose it to communities that primarily focus on the people from their own country - when we can stand together as communities who all support internationally....
All good mate, had to ask though. =) There are tons of projects on steemit and as communities, we should work together wherever we can. Perhaps we can do something to help out Spunkee Monkee? Maybe not with the current poll, but in other ways.
that sounds like a great idea @scrooger ... @dreemsteem sure could use the support for @spunkeemonkee

Most welcome! =)
a noble gesture for sure
@luigi-the-gnome and myself
are going to vote again of coursehave already voted, I thought I could go another time but alas, this is not an option 😄Thanks for the initial votes on Qurator, a bit of a bummer that we can't vote again or transfer votes. Still appreciate the support =)
I respect your decision and generosity .. Truly appreciate what @qurator is doing and Its a nobel work stepping back and giving chance another.
They deserve it and was in the top 3 pretty fast. If we can't beat them, help them =P
Well, that's a great thought i must say..
I said we were too far back, and now I see you agree
Posted using Partiko Android
Yeah, I really hoped the Qurator community would jump in and support some more, sadly it was not the case. Ah well, if we can 't beat them we might as well help them. They are a great community and deserve the win!
They seem to be winning now

Very admirable gesture!
... Sadly, I only checked the mentions and noticed this post right after I had voted... :(
No worries, thanks for taking part in the poll. So far it has been fun and rather stressful for the top few.
We love you @scrooger. Your heart is soooooo big!!! #steemitbloggers and #teammalaysia ❤️
You are most welcome, #teammalaysia was truly amazing when I went there. Know you are all a great group of people and I would support you twenty times over. =)
That's a very noble step @scrooger that's why we voted you before.
Thank you for showing us a great example of thinking the best for others.
Posted using Partiko Android
Thanks for the previous vote, and thanks for the compliments, we were way behind so we decided to help out someone closer to the top. @steemitbloggers was the obvious choice for me. They do some great things!
This has sent shivers down my spine! Thank you isn't enough words to describe how grateful I am and those in steemibloggers (powerhousecreatives). Much respect to you and all those who voted!
Absolutely @foxyspirit!!! And thank you too for coming to show your gratitude!
You are most welcome, best of luck for the last few hours. Hope there are some more votes coming soon!

Stumbled into the @qurator request to vote first, which I did. Later found requested from the awesome #PowerHouseCreatives went back to try see if I would be able to to another vote, alas to no avail Sent 1 x SBD as a @steemitbloggers Promote button offered, not sure how that works.
What a great approach to assist communities by working together @scrooger UBUNTU
Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'.
UBUNTU indeed! Thank you @joanstewart :)
Loving that UBUNTU! If only all the communities and whales could work together and help out then these kinds of projects won't even need extra support. Alas, it is what it is and we will keep grinding on to make it all better! =) Thanks for the initial Qurator vote, apologies if it was a bit "wasted".
Steem on!
Nothing is ever wasted, I have helped wherever I am able to promote and let others know both @qurator and @steemitbloggers are good people and communities to be in. Thanks for everything you do every day helping everyone.
As someone who loves @qurator and @steemitbloggers wholeheartedly and equally much, I had to make a strategic choice to vote for the most likely winner. Thus, I totally agree with your move, @scrooger, and I praise your wisdom and unselfishness.
Both brilliant communities, agree totally @oleg326756 playing nicely together is an unselfish act of kindness, both only accept high quality content, with low value, only truly dedicated people remain to enhance the platform not an individual.
Thank you so very much for your support @oleg326756!!! It means the world to us as you know doubt know from the constant buzzing in the server for the last few days hahahaha :)
Much appreciated mate, both communities are great indeed, but we have to be rational and think of who has the bigger chance of winning. They are pushing really hard and deserve it, that 10K will work wonders for them. =)

Didn’t vote yet but what a noble and inspiring gesture you’re making here @scrooger to wave the white flag for @qurator and putting the @steemitbloggers in the spotlight.😎👍

Thanks, I hope you ended up voting for them. =)
We had to think rationally of who was going to win this one. Q was way behind so we knew our chances are slim. Since we can't beat them we might as well support them! =) 👍
Ofcourse I did vote for them👍
