Here is a post with some statistics i found on the official rs forums i taught was worth posting here, it gives a impression of the way things are heading;
"This thread is for monitoring and calculating the statistics for the 2007Scape poll. I am neither for nor against the returning of the old server, this thread is purely for keeping track of the voting factually.
To reach 250K votes we need to accumulate:
744 votes per hour over the next two weeks
12 votes per minute over the next two weeks
To reach 500k votes we need to accumulate:
1,488 votes per hour over the next two weeks
25 votes per minute over the next two weeks
To reach 750K votes we need to accumulate:
2,232 votes per hour over the next two weeks
37 votes per minute over the next two weeks

Time after poll / number of votes = votes per minute - Percentage of first stat
5hrs / 53,443 votes = 178.143 votes per minute
11hrs* / 69,698 votes = 105.603 votes per minute – 59% of first stat
18hrs / 104,956 votes = 97.181 votes per minute – 54% of first stat
19hrs / 106,706 votes = 93.601 votes per minute – 52% of first stat
20hrs / 107,872 votes = 89.89 votes per minute – 50% of first stat
*It is somewhere between 11 and 12hrs, I was not entirely sure.
