I would agree. Contacting players who were in NESLife 3 is just about acceptable, as long as they are still active and have yet to vote. Harassment of people to get them to vote when they are not NESers is ridiculous and above all disrespectful to Daft, one of the finest mods, in my opinion, we have in the community at the moment. He has taken the time and effort to present a range of ideas, which are deceptively simple and actually involve a lot of hard work and creativity from Daft, to the community for them to choose the NES they wish.
Daft I would recommend you go with want you want, most people in the thread will probably join anyway, and ignore the poll. I would also recommend you think hard before choosing NESLife, though if it is your preferred choice go with it.
