Hell Im ok with doing away with AOY, AOM, hot 20 and all the other popularity contests. THey dont mean squat if they arent run fairly. And nothing against Toxic Angel either. Your work is amazing and you would have made a very fine AOY. For that matter so would have Legume. The thing is, in the past AOY was voted on by the membership. THe poll was posted for 3 days this year. Now all of a sudden the admin decided that they would choose who AOY is because the artist THEY wanted MIGHT not win. Remember Toxic was still in the lead and there was plenty of voting left to go. He very well might have won. Hell someone might have come from behind and taken it, it was a difficult decision to vote for one artist they all were good! Now there are NO winners. It has become a sham. DO I want to see Rosity go down in flames? NO. Am I pissed that I took the time to vote and now am told my vote doesnt count? You're damned right!
