I meant to touch on the changed match start time, too.

I really think some of us are overstating the role of an early evening match start (in the US) in killing trends. The truth is that, with the explosion of mobile phones, most people will pretty much vote when they want to regardless, and that alone has been by far the biggest cause of the sad death of trends. Next on the list, in my opinion at least, has been the remainder of GameFAQs' userbase aging and thus becoming more set in their tastes, as the Halo fans and the like have mostly departed. I would merely put the start time at a distant third, playing a minor role in securing the demise of trends. To me, the best start time given this is that which allows the largest portion of users to get their votes in within the first hour or so, which would be something like 2 PM PT.
