RSVP order - Yes, Maybe, No rather than Maybe, No, Yes
Based on how Evite has become an everyday part of our language, it'd be nice to see the same ordering on the RSVPs. People love checking up on the Evite list to see how it's going, and on this system it's somewhat discouraging to see all this red and gray at the very top of no's and maybe's, especially when you have such a long list that that's all you see until you scroll down, finally followed by the green representing who's coming. Also, because it's an invite off of a general membership and not a targeted invite, it's not even very important at all to know who's not coming vs being specifically invited.
Also, to say 'So and so will not attend' sounds pretty negative, like 'So and so will not eat her vegetables.'
It'd be nice to follow the industry model and be able to choose the Yes, Maybe, No categories (it's more fun and branded to be able to do so), followed by the names under them. Of course, to be able to comment under one's name would be ideal, but I guess that's asking too much.

Neil,
Your feedback is good. I'm not sure if I agree with eliminating the "No" option. However, I agree that at the very least, all No's should be relegated to the bottom of the list. I also agree that comments should be contained under the response -- however, that could be a disadvantage if there is a long list of RSVP's -- you'd have to scroll down to read each comment.
I'm definitely not saying to eliminate the 'no' responses, just saying they're less important than in an Evite, so more so it should be at the bottom.
No matter how many 'yes'es come in an Evite, especially if it's to an event I'm hosting, I've never thought twice that I had to scroll to read every single person's comment to me, and I've read every single one with great interest. I don't mind scrolling to read emails just the same.
The why behind whether someone comes or not is often of greater interest to me than just a yes/no reply.
Based on your comment, it may be helpful to have a running total of yes'es, maybe's and no's. As it is, I have to count manually, and it does seem rather tedious having to do that come to think of it.
No's are back above Yeses again. I have to scroll down just to see who said 'Yes', and all that red makes for a negative impression. Not only that, I wish I could leave the No's off completely, as they're pretty irrelevant for large groups.
Neil,
They should be reordered now.
