Going to do this early since I screwed myself over by waiting and forgetting about it last time.

Used to put a note about predicting early so you won't be late, in the OP. Is the OP useful to people?

Not going to lie to you all I look for in the op now is last month's npd and the changes that occur from last year. A note will doubtfully make a difference but overall you do a great job on the op.

I pretty much have the OP open in one window next to my reply window when I predict, so yes, it's quite useful!

Only thing I would want is a link to the results from last month's predictions, just because I always forget to look for them and it would make it even more convenient :D

Pretty low turnout. Hopefully things turn around by the time the big titles and peripherals start coming out. Anyway...
