You People Are a Disgrace

The Open Web Awards on Mashable has just one day left of voting, and the top 3 make it to the final round of voting. The fact that you are letting ESPN take the 3rd spot instead of ArmchairGM is just pathetic. I voted, even did with an anon proxy, so come on and vote, it closes Sunday night at 11:59 PM.

If not, the terrorists (ESPN) have won.

In fairness, Sportme is a completely different type of site. The only sport & recreation site of a similar kind to AGM is ESPN. Sportsnipe appears to just be a feed of stories on sports sites? Which doesn't seem to be too good. And TBF, considering a big national corporation with a $100millions budget per year is not really far ahead of ArmchairGM, a small local project with a $100 budget year, is a considerable achievement on the Founders' parts.

It'sd better to be good than popular.

And if you voted more than once - YOU ARE OFFICIALLY NOT ALLOWED TO EVER SAY A SINGLE PEEP ABOUT CHEATERS, you stinkin' cheaters. You are injecting steroids into our the ass of our totals.

Do you want to finsih where we truly should, come back next year and work on the site, make better and more quality contributions and grass roots growth or do you want fake totals make us look like we're something we're not?

YOU people are a disgrace. AGMites shouldn't act like that nor give a single damn about some other website to begin with. Do YOUR work and let the other shit blow into the wind. A week after this popularity contest ends it will be LONG forgotten anyway! Jealousy is for losers (and cheaters).

Show some self respect.

Manny's right. If you want us to win the award, make the site better:

There's a lot to do -- all of which are better than padding vote totals beyond where they should be.

I agree with Manny. I've only been at this site for six months and I am not ready to even think of myself as the best. I'm not a dumbass and I know I can do better. We all could do better. If you guys want to vote to try to be the "best," go right ahead.

Oh, and Manny. I honestly thought that no one got the message before I sent my 3 (spam) messages. The last 2 were mistakes. I didn't think they sent through cuz I had an error screen pop up on my computer. Sorry 'bout that.

Thanks guys for talking some sense into me. I know what I did was wrong. It was kinda stupid. I know that if we were really the best, we would win with dignity without publicizing or spamming or sending board blasts or anything like that, and like DNL said, we should try to make this site better by doing some useful things that many other people would be interested in, so that they can talk about the site to their friends. Thanks guys.

I never cheated on a test in school, not on any girl, nor in any game (video games notwithstanding - it's not cheating if they MAKE it that way - up, down, up, down, left, right, b, a, start)

But every on on this site is so high and mighty when it comes to rich and famous people cheating to gain and advantage and then they do THE EXACT SAME thing??? Huh?

Sorry, but I do believe that character actually matters. I would much rather lose with the truth (face it - there are more popular websites with better cheaters) than win with a veil of bullshit. And yes, I gloriously failed many tests I could have cheated to pass, there's lots of "numbers" I could have inflated at jobs to make my performance more outstanding and didn't and there's plenty of babes I could have nailed into next week and didn't. And I don't regret it, I'm PROUD of it.

I think it's ridiculous that you guys give a crap about it anyway - WHAT do we win? More people coming here and posting crappy articles and links?

Just make sure none of you post an article bitching about All-Star voting or I'm gonna lambaste you...

I think we need to make that list more important. I mean, when Pnatt (!!!!) has more edits than all but 31 people, and Steaksammich (who hasn't been here in almost 500 days!) is still top 500, well, that's a problem.

I'm welcome to ideas as to how to make that table more important.

I cracked a lil joke right under Manny's orginal comment, but I don't want people to think that means I disagree with what he's saying or that I think it carries little weight.

People, especially the teens on this site (more then they'll admit, teens love to pretend their over 21) could learn from what Manny is saying. In a quick summary he is telling us how real world decisions reflect on who we are, and how those same decisions apply equally in a sports context. Take an extra minute, re-read what he's said and just contemplate what it means if you haven't already. Manny's a smart guy, despite your relationship with him, as a person you can not deny that he makes ArmchairGM better to partcipate with. I get happy sometimes on my way to work because I know there is could be a 3-4 hour conversation with Manny about anything waiting around the corner. (But 99% of the time it's someway related to sports.)

So heed Manny's words and known that they carry major weight.

LA, that's actually kinda true.. and I'll admit it. I have talked to Manny in an AGM convo.. and YES, he IS extremely smart.. not just stats smart, but also street smart and as a regular person. He makes a whole lotta sense. He definitely makes AGM better as a whole with his creativity, comments, and his advice. I could definitely give you more +s to you, LA... and to Manny, of course.

We're not going to win if we vote. The only way we truly win is if all of us work our asses off and put together some quality content. If you want to beat the best, you have to outwork the rest and put together some of the best articles you can.
