It saddens me greatly that what started as a fun FREE contest seems to have so many people upset. What seems to be getting lost here is that the contestants are out nothing if they don't win. If you don't win this contest, you aren't out a single thing and you'll go on having the same site you've had. I'm amazed that I have gotten iqc's about how upset some people are or how we are voting the wrong way or how this contest is a joke. It's almost as everyone thinks they are owed this design and CMS and that we are somehow taking it away from. That is not the case and the chance to win something is better than not having a chance at all.
The rules were very specific. They were made bold and a different color that each person who voted needed to give a reason why. We didn't want everyone to just hit up their friends on icq for a vote and wanted everyone to have a fair chance of winning. Since several people privately and publically complained about that system, we made it a public vote. Let the contest run itself and then no one has a reason to complain about it.
To those of you who appreciate the chance to get completely free work, at no loss to you at all, I wish you lots of luck and I can't wait to work the winner of the vote ending next Wednesday.
