A lot of people don't pay any attention to proposals. There's ~150 whales with a lot of HP and most of them don't vote for witnesses or pay attention to proposals. You can't automatically assume that because a proposal isn't voted that it's because support for it is low. Getting things voted on whether it be posts, proposals, or witnesses is generally about getting the word out. The proposal had a short build up, so my conclusions would be closer to not enough eyeballs than not enough support.

More eyeballs would lead to more participation. I agree there's not enough interest in general. I have no issues with people going around spreading the word and gathering support. That's to be expected. No different than a video going viral. People share it. I get it. And thousands of players give you a clear advantage in that department.
This is a great opportunity. For all of us here. Far more people know at least a little bit more about that proposal system today than they did two weeks ago.
I'm not picking a side here or anything like that. I want to make that clear. I don't think those in support are a bunch of buffoons in the same way I can respect those not in support or undecided. Not interested in seeing this place fighting over a pile of money. I don't think it's necessary so won't be participating in that. I agree, let's try to be professional.
After the proposal went live, I removed my vote for the return proposal to make it that much easier for you folks. Under pharesim's post I said I'd be returning my vote for the return proposal. Now that I see it's back to 29m HP, I've decided to once again remove my vote. I'm still on the fence and can't decide if voting for SPL proposal is a good idea or not. It's not an easy decision to make. And now all this controversy which is something I think could have been avoided.
I'm still just as confident there's enough support out there to push this proposal into approved status as I was the day it went live.
Nobody approached me behind the scenes attempting pressure me into supporting and I'm grateful for that.
