Why is it that someone who's only been here 36 days, posts in the same forum aallll the time, and of which posts are usually nonsensical pieces of, well, crap, gets more votes than people who have built themselves up to be great posters, and an asset to the forums in general?

I'm talking about @ng3l. No disrespect at all to the lass, no no no.

But what I'm saying is, is that it shows that people just really vote for anybody rather than great attributes to this place.

Cookie Monster. He's been here for what, 900 odd days? Posts well all the time. A lot of people like him.
1 vote.
Tilta. 700 odd days. Very good poster indeed. 1 vote.
Rickoss, Unbeliever, MWA, Blank, Totoro, Dark Mark, Aliboy - the list goes on.
Granted, one or two of them don't post as much as they used to.
But the others - they post forum wide.
@ng3l posts the same old limited crap in the Simpleto..., er, General Chat forum.

And it's a shame, because the good posters are sidelined.

Meh, I'm getting too worked up about this for no reason.

I give up, I really do.

Yes, probably a tad unfair that Azul singled out @ngel for criticism, certainly she isn't the only one being voted for that many of us would question the motivations of the voters.

What this really comes down to, IMO, is that the forum is splitting apart. On one side, those who use it for general spam,chat and overall trivial things, on the other, those who treat it as as a serious gaming/discussion place.

I think were rapidly running out of room for both groups, and it won't be long before the majority of one side ups roots and goes.

Opinions anyone ?

So why couldnt he say that without mentioning names, or better still not even posted it!

Seems like it was aimed at me though!!!

What you getting worked up about anyway, its only a colour change! Not a life change.

Thank God.
Someone with common sense, and a basic understanding of what I'm saying.

No, vote Angel, he wasn't saying you dont deserve to vote, or that people shouldn't vote for you, he's just saying that the reasons people vote are contradictory to the essence of what people should be voting for when it comes to the next notable - ie it's become a popularity contest with little relation to how/what/where they post.
