Ok, I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in here... why I have no idea because I will probably catch hell SOMEWHERE along the way, but what the hell, never stopped me before.
Ok, I was one of the judges........ I have the utmost respect and admiration for anyone who can do design work. BUT as bad as I hate to admit it but do often, I suck SOOOO bad at this type of thing so I didn't even go near any of this as in keeping up with who did what... and might I also add in here, that everyone knows I have been in my own hell and haven't had time to post or look at anything..... I have been too busy just trying to get my own life back on track......
Having said all of this:
EVERYONE knows my past relations with Snow, I am not a damn fool, I know damn well who mafiaporn is...... while snow and I have made a peace and get along fine now, we are in no way the best of friends, do ANY of you honestly think that if I didn't think mafiaporn was the best I would have voted for it?
Furthermore, I swear to god, I honestly thought someone else designed the toon site, it is sooooo good, but I swear up until I seen who actually owned it, I thought it was done by one of my own designers......... do you think I would have put HIM second if I was being partial? Hell no I wouldn't have.......
I was in that room with all of these judges and not one of us ever even knew who any of these sites belonged to, the only thing I was SURE of is that mafiaporn was snow's........ no one in that room was anymore concerned with who which one belonged to than anything, they chose based on what site they thought was the best.
As far as any previous voting or squabbles, I have NO idea about any of that because this is the first time I have even read thru any of the posts about this contests........ I only know that I, as well as all the ones in that room did the best we could and didn't do anything based on WHO they belonged to.
In fact I was shocked as hell that the one I THOUGHT did the toon site turned out to be someone other than who I originally thought it was........
ALL of these sites were amazing and I think any one of you should be proud of your work, they were all awesome as hell sites........ this has brought you all alot of attention as in your talents and your work will speak for itself...... don't make this a bad thing, just look at all the publicity you got with this contest and use it to each of your advantage.......
