Quote - How about posting a notice before they stopped working for the night... or even at 8am this morning.  I know many people that submitted entries that were checking both sites every 15 minutes until the wee hours of the morning.  A courteous post could have alleviated all of that. 

 

I fully understand your point and by the way I'm 1 of those people checking every 15 minutes lol I'm still looking today. all I meant was that a little paitents go out to those that are now judging the contest as it stood the voting was to happen on the Mernac site  but now has been directed to 4 judges here at Renderosity because of false voting on Mernac. I'm just assuming that this was not detected until they sarted to tally up the votes. I agree a posting at 6:30 would have been nice but I must also assume that a great deal of responsiblility just fell on 4 judges to determine a winner  and that took priority over making an anouncement. it was your comment about Renderosity not being professional that triggered my responce. I've entered many 100's of contest since being here and not all have been favorable with forth coming answers. I want answers too but draw the line at name or site bashing I hope that your entry wins at least you could be compensated for your frustrations. either way I wish you and Rainfeather all the best in the contest Good luck to you both.
