CompuTalk.net looks really far the best!

The "best" isn't the one that encourages it's members to sign up to AF just to vote for it

I didn't encourage any members to vote, I made a thread saying we were in the competition. In no place does it say that they should vote in the competition. In no part of the vote did I ask any people to sign up, in fact I am quite against that as I want a fair competition.

Also, he is the only person from my forum to my knowledge that has voted, but thanks for basically saying I am a cheater after I wished you good luck in the whole competition

Nobody encouraged me to sign up just to vote! I'm a little bit longer here..

They need 50 posts for it to count anyway

And i'm liking the different coloured usernames that voted for you to the newly registered ones that have voted for your competition

Thats good anyway. Firstly I was just posting to inform my users that CompuTalk was in the bb.

I wasn't trying to make any signup.

I'm not trying to say that you have, but they are doing it though.

I signed up and voted for CompuTalk!

- Said by QueenZ, now she being a super mod at your forum, don't you think her vote is biased because she just signed up & voted for your board (not that it matters because she doesn't have 50posts at the time of her vote).

The purpose of BoardBrawl is to judge which forum you think is best, not to vote for that board because you're registered on it. And to be honest, CF has been around alot longer than yours, has a bigger member base & content, and the activity is good. and teh owner owns? Your board is good, but at this stage you don't compare up to CF at this moment. IMO.

You should state in your post, if they are registered members of your board, they should evaluate both boards before casting there vote and that you wouldn't mind if they thought CF was better than yours at the moment. (but of course they aren't going to do that, are they?).

They've got less than 50 posts, so it wont count. It's that simple.

Also, Flashgear; that is your opinion, so even if someone is a moderator on a board, it doesn't mean their opinion is any less valuable than yours if they do have the required amount of posts. Also, there are other criteria to judge, such as Design, Staff Friendlyness, and Creativity. So in theory, the size and memberbase of a forum isn't the only reason to vote for one.

This is your blog, is it not? It is in your signature, is it not?

Oh, and don't try weeding your way out by editing, I screenshotted it.

This is like Eurovision in voting. Any Europeans should understand that.
