For one thing ,who even bothers with AOM or AOY anymore? I quit voting when they took away our vote for AOY because Legume was winning at the time.I took the time to look through the nominees and vote and all of a sudden its guess what guys, your votes don't count. That was the last straw in a long line of bad decisions concerning AOM and AOY. I remember when AOM candidates were suggested by MEMBERS. ANY work from ANY gallery was eligible. Now that made sense, members have way more knowledge of what is posted in the galleries, it would be impossible for mods or panel members to view each work posted as there are far too many. I discovered many very talented artists that way. Just look through the list of nominees suggested by members and bang, tons of very cool art work. But hey, that system was just too logical,and you know we can't have that! Rosity had to change it, they were supposed to have a panel of their mods look through all the galleries instead, and THEY would make the nominations, so guys like Legume could never sully the great and powerful AOM or AOY contest. What happened to your panel? They get tired of trying to wade through gallery after gallery? If your looking for an impartial AOM or AOY contest you're all going to be VERY disapointed.I was, but the nice thing is.......if you just ignore AOM and AOY you don't have to be.
