Issues with me?? - get in here

It seems as though I've been called out as the bad leader. I guess I'm not a fair person, and I'm not treating you guys how you deserve to be treated. I hear that the sweatshirt contest was all a scam, and the winners were fixed. I left the voting to be "private" so that no one would have to feel guilty about picking one persons design over another. All you guys could see were the # of votes per design, and not the person who voted on each.

That way, you could just vote and not have to worry about hurting a fellow friend on the site or whatever. I thought that would be the fair way to run the poll and get the best voting response. But I guess my idea was a failure, and now I'm being called out as a horrible leader and a scam artist.

Honestly, I just wanted to have a fun contest where you guys could design a hoodie and win some prizes for participating. Unfortunatly, things took a different turn, and people were PMing myself and other moderators on the site about votes, multiple user accts, multiple IP addresses, etc etc. I honestly think it's sad that I'd have to provide a list of the IPs that voted to prove one person won over another. Before all of the fighting broke loose I was actually going to provide all participants (anyone who submitted a design) into the VIP for at least a month, and the winner for a year.

I dug into the IP addresses of the voters to see if there was foul play, and to see who was voting for what. If you want to talk about your design or the outcome - IM me - sales8thcivic - aim and we can talk about the voting.

So how do I make everyone happy here? Well, what I'm going to do is give the top 3 sweatshirts (all close in votes) vip memberships. I'm also going to do ordering a little different. We're going to have a preorder on the sweatshirts possibly starting as early as Saturday. All three shirts will be available for purchase to make things fair. I'll probably run the preorder for a week to 2 weeks to see how many want ordered, and what designs.

If anyone has something to say to me - please just say it here. I'm willing to talk to any of you if you have problems, or are upset with the forum in general. Whatever it is, just say so. I'd rather that, then have things explode later. Speak your mind.

Even if it's a praise - speak your mind. Tell me what you guys dislike or like about the site. It's the only way we can work together to make things better around here. I'll do what I can.

^^ I agree. No complaints here. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere here and I hope nothing happens to change that. Webby, thanks for all of the hard work you've done to make this site a good one.

I can't believe anyone would say that about ya, Webby. I'm sorry to hear that.

Like DeezV604 said, what other site has an owner /administrator respond to every post and try to help out all the members? Webby is so accommodating!

btw...I hate you too
