But just how many of the others who voted for a small change, or no change, or even not caring will be left out because of this? The others who voted for a small change, either forwards or back, is still majority over those who ask for a big change and something that still needs to be considered.

Also to be considered, I feel like you're not coming into this with the right attitude. The moot currently stands at midnight for you right? A few hours back does not hurt you. Yeah 9 or 10pm sucks, but so does 7-am for me. But that's not the point, the point is that we can both attend. It seems to me that people are trying to find a convenient time for themselves rather than a time that suits the majority and because of that, we'll never find a good time.

p.s. Yeah I forgot about that Tim, living in NZ for so long makes Aussie look very big to me xD The poll is not being used as the primary source for decision making. It is being used to give a general picture, but we have been taking the comments to the page into consideration, and I have personally attempted to contact all Sysops. From all sources (Chat, this thread, the Poll, messages to Talkpages etc) it has become apparent that the shift earlier will increase the attendance of the Moot, while still maintaining a significant Admin presence. As I said, if you can list me Australian users who attend the Moot, and who won't be able to come after the change (thus diminishing attendance) tell me.

And do you really think that this whole thing has been conducted with a view to make it more convenient for individuals? Why was this thread opened in the first place? I personally voted for only two hours earlier as that is most convenient for me. The time shift that would guarantee the highest Moot attendance, from all the information I've gathered, is six hours earlier.
