Think it's great folks like yourself post reminders -- hopefully folks vote, but if nothing else, it continues to bring awareness to the foundation and the illness. 

My apologies if this suggestion has already been raised/discussed before, but is there a way for us to lock this thread atop the MGoBoard column so it stays through the duration of the voting campaign?

Don't want to open a can of worms here, but may be a good thought for similar initiatives as well (especially ones that combine sports + social causes).

Logic being that if the community here values it enough to post it on an almost daily basis, might be worth it to take it one step further. Other thoughts could be to have it embedded as link at underneath the site banner (realize this is a "bigger", formal move but just thought I'd open up the idea for discussion).

That's a fair point, especially in regard to any thoughts of placement on the general site (e.g. below the banner as I quickly suggested).

I think pinning it to the top of the board column would be a bit different given that it's such a big staple of what everyone does/uses on this blog. Sightlines all point to us going to the board.

Think the bigger issue at hand is determining what topics/campaigns/causes are worthy of being "pinned". I would hate for some causes to get this type of love and others to not; that would obviously defeat the spirit of the whole concept in the first place. The Chad Tough campaign just seems to be a slam dunk given how much notoriety it has received as well as the volume of board posts already.

Don't want to belabor the point. Again, just food for thought. Great cause and great awareness building. Thanks for posting.
