This is my opinion only on the subject. It has nothing to do with the mod or admins on this site. If they say that's why then I have to believe that's why they shut it down. That said I still stand by what I said. In my opion it was and is wrong and unethical to solicit votes for a contest of this type. If he was running for office sure but soliciting vote for an art contest? come on souldn't the art be considered some place or is it all who has the most friends online and can promote themselves the best. When I was nominated for AOM I voted not for myself but for feri. Why you ask? because he is hands down a better artist than me. Low budget = doing somthing that may not be against the law or rules. But ethicly is wrong. Like getting all your freinds to "pad" the vote. not against the rule but moraly wrong. If you can't see that I waisting my time
