Lies and slander. You're obviously on the "other" side of the politico-physics Z axis.

Woof !
 
If you haven't already done so, please take time to vote in the award categories. Voting has been open for two days, and the biggest vote count I've seen is only about 40. With as many active members we have, that should be a lot higher.

Perhaps we should start banning those that didn't vote.

Perhaps their needs to be an obvious announcement in other areas of the forums? I know I rarely come to the FF&A section.

I have a notice with a link to the voting at the top of the page. The turn out for voting seems normal.

Psh! That notice is waaaay too bland. It needs neon lights, fireworks, and blaring sirens.

They just don't know guys. Personally, I can only intelligently make a reasonable vote on only two categories. The rest, I just don't engage in enough to know who's who and so I only voted on two.

I have several pens, and as Shakespeare will tell you, the pen is occasionally mightier than the sword.
