"There are apparently over 100,000 members, how many people actually take the time to vote or look at the nominations?" That is the point, the people that actualy took the time to vote and look at the galleries arent very happy that their vote was disgarded, and the decision made by admin. They of course have the right to do just that, however I would be very surprised if participation in contests and voting for contests didnt dwindle after such a decision, I for one will not take the time to do so in the future.
