to be honest, i think it would have been a better contest if you had to be a registered FreeOnes member in order to vote and if there wasn't prize money involved.
a good gesture would have been to pay the winners expenses to the award party but other than that, money just clouded a good intention.
just my :2 cents:
:hatsoff:
I'm sure you are right. Some of the comments that have been made by a few of the OCSMs are very strange to say the least. You should read the comments they make on other boards. :eek:
Once again...

(Maybe I'm a prophet & don't even know it yet. :eek: I could make a lot of $$$ though)
Anyway, all contests that last more than a few hours get boring very fast, except for the people competing.
Nothing new really....
As you know that post you made before the contest set off an alarm in my head and I was the first to reply to it. I didn't agree with all of it but it was a very interesting post. :hatsoff:
I'm sure you also recall we discussed this issue privately by PM as I was curious to know how your views might have changed since then.
I recall visiting a popular porn star's site because she had one of my favorite girls in her network...ever since, I noticed suspicious shit going on with my IP..and ultimately I attempted to vote in a booble contest once and got some message saying my IP was flagged for some bullshit or another.
Needless to say, money ALWAYS attracts cheats and thieves. We can't let losers like that ruin it for the rest of us I guess.
This is very interesting, Hot Mega. I hope you have some evidence to back your theories.
Common sense tells me you don't need any evidence to back your claim. That's why we need judges, referees and moderators. In football many are calling for video evidence because some people will always try to cheat in any competition. Even if there wasn't a prize some people would try to cheat. It's just part of life.
Any adult who tries to claim that no one in "this" competition would try to manipulate the rules or cheat is either very naive or they are lying in order to make themselves look like an angel to the voters. And I got some bad news for you it works, perfectly. A lot of guys fall for this trick.
It's like that classic line contestants use at the Miss World contests. "I just want world peace." I believe you, NOT!!! :2 cents:
