Joking aside, I think Slush did the right thing by offering the choice to vote.
Initially it was looking as fail-over to backup, but it seems more and more as a vote against BIP101 - no person (with over 1PH) would stay for over 24h on the wrong side with all the stats provided from Slush and posts in this thread stating the obvious and pointing to the right ports both here and on twitter/facebook
I tried to find via the regular website anything about the BIP101 discussion or port numbers. I found nothing. Anybody enlighten me, or do I have Tweet/Facebook to hear how to use Slush's pool? Personally I think it's silly to use Twitter or Facebook for this kind of stuff, but I am an old fart.
The only thing I see on the site is
Aug 24, 2015 :
Sharp rise in BitcoinXT voting right now ! stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3301 stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3301...
Everything else looks like it is on social media with more detailed announcements.

We don't tell you if big or small. It's your choice!
Right now, every Slush Pool miner can vote for larger blocksize.
Simply use one of following mining URL to do so:
stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3301
stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3301
stratum+tcp://eu.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3301
Please note that voting does not affect Bitcoin network in any way at least until 1.1.2016.
I too find that a little silly, and I use Facebook lol
