On the first of July, I posted my best topic to date entitled "Macots: Past, present and future". I felt this had a really good chance of winning. Normally I don't post to win but I really want GT3 and I can't afford it.

However, this topic was beaten by a topic entitled "SEGA and Nintendo Killed Originality in Video Games". I don't think this topic deserved to win and I thought mine was far better. All I want to know is why didn't I win? Is there a specific reason? Could someone from SR tell me so I can improve next time.

I would appreciate it if someone from SR could reply to this so I know they've at least read it.

My topic is this:

The winner is this:

Turbonutter, you lost because you weren't good enough in the eyes of the judges, just accept that.

Becuase, on the day, the one that won was judged to be better than yours. Simple as that Turbo.
