"The AOM voting process was changed after Legume and Mr Codini won in a row. Mr Codini was the last member that was actually nominated by the membership. It was believed that 2 sub-genius's winning, in a row, was setting a trend that Renderosity admins would rather have avoided. This was never confirmed, of course, but it did quack like a duck !"

I never believed that it was his art alone that might have turned TPTB against him. And last night after reading a bit in the newsgroup he posts in, I have a much different opinion about Legumes actions regarding this site and the members who created accounts to join him in screwing with us.

I've defended him but I was very offended by the comments I read.
They were all encompassing including not just the admins but the members as well. He and his group has been playing us for a very long time apparently.
I got very angry at reading it and some of you still on the bandwagon for legume would probably be offended at being played so as well.

"Ok kids, let's have some more fun over at Renderosity"
"The gag this time: Two months in a row, a SubGenius wins AOM"
"I can't believe the bitter little trolls at Renderosity!"

and then there's the copy and pasting of forum comments that they have their little fun with. I withdraw any support I had for him.

I'm angry at this whole thing. At the mistake being hashed over and over for two weeks, at Legume for learning we at this site are just here to be played, and at anyone who calls anyone who HAPPENS to disagree with them a "shill".

Me? I'm going to render some more cookie-cutter images he and his friends love to create accounts to belittle. This whole thing just became stupid beyond all belief.
