Single post in Type Race Announcements

So... I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with the "popularity contest" thing, when most teams only had one person submit a type race thread to begin with. My thread was chosen by default, as no one else on my team made a thread. I'm excited to host for the first time. I also don't feel that well known in the community, but I still thought "Why not? What's the worst that can happen?" Even if I didn't get voted this time, there's still next month and the month after. Honestly, I don't think I would have been discouraged if I hadn't won the vote, and I feel that a lot of the community feels the same. If you don't win this month, you can always try again. :)
