That is kind of cool that our little ol' site would be on Dave's radar. LOL  He must really want that cup.

Yeah, and it was suspicious activities in another one of these for-fun contests that led to the post count requirement (multiple accounts by same user, and I've seen a  few cases of people being solicited at other sites to join PA just to vote in a poll -- not that's fanboyism).  The way I see it, these polls are primarily intended for the PA community's entertainment.  We all started as newbies at one time, but I would rather voters be people who joined because they like the site and want to be a part of it rather than people who come just to vote in the poll and then leave  (those kinds are not part of the community).  if these polls lead to more people joining our community, that is great.

You can post as new users, and I would have thought writing is a more interesting exercise than an anonymous vote.  I know I'd rather hear people's thoughts/ perspectives/ insights when i make polls than just see that a vote has been cast.  And discussion can be interesting.  These polls are mostly just fun (though polls can lead to great musical discoveries); don't know why some people seem take them very seriously (especially these kind of contests --  a lot of work has been put into it, and I respect, by the way).

It was, however, done to prevent abuse (manipulation).  By the way, why are there so many people registering, apparently, to vote for Spock's Beard?  How did people find out about it?

I did a little search and found these, but not many responses there:



Hahaha, how cool is this! I've unleashed a beast with this tournament. LOL

I must say, sometimes the most entertaining thing I have found about these contests is the lengths that some fanboys sometimes go to to push for their choice band.  LOL  I remember a little fiasco some years ago when one member was requesting fans at the fanboard to review and rate a new release here at PA so that it would be top of that year's charts. Mind you, that can translate to more sales for the band, and promoters sometimes do underhanded stuff here.

Next thing you know they might be praying to Kirk's Toupee for divine assistance.  Godspeed you black beard.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Sounds like a cross between alternative, prog, black metal, and Gregorian chanting. Worth a listen, I think.

I think you need 40 posts before you can vote. I know, it seems unfair, but I also had to go through the same thing when I was new. Still, it looks like this competition has attracted a few new members. Cool beans!
