i agree on the anti-votes. could be that asshole turbo matty/insanoman/super matty...anyways, that ***, who doesnt like MAM just because everyone posts good thigns about him :rolleyes: which is stupid.

which brings up a good point? how is it that that moron is allowed on the forums after repeated bans? what did he do, bribe antoine with some money?

This needs to be addressed...

And I quote myself from an Admin forum post about "Super Matty P"

Yup...he seems to be "civil" now although I will never forget what he did nor will I ever trust him...

Think before you make absurd comments Matthew...If elements of the "old" matty emerge...I will not think twice before deleting and banning anything that even sounds like matty.

Now...on with the voting!
 
hey that was a general statement, i didnt really think he bribed you. but i noticed in like the first week he was involved in anything that became anything resembling a flame

yeah, I kinda think the Anti votes (atleast without explaination) are kinda ghey...

I know Beau very well, and I know for a fact he quickly corrects any mistake or problem that is his fault at his expense. I'm thinking there is a little envy/ tired of hearing about how great Beau is, going on here.

but who knows... MAM with anti votes is kinda funny to me, thats all.

Then they waste their vote. I just wanted to include some kind of check and balance. If 90% of the community thinks company XYZ is great, but 10% of the community really got screwed over by them, I want this to reflect that.
Thats exactly what I'm saying though. They aren't wasting their vote because they were never really going to vote anyway. People who vote for someone just to spite the other should take the option of just not voting. Or you could have put in a "none of the above" option instead. Since we all know we are talking about MAM, who has honestly been screwed over by MAM? We would have heard about it by now. Sure they have had some issues occasionally with shipping and such, but they were all taken care of personally at Beau's expensive to be corrected. Thats not screwed over that's just "s*** happening." I see what you were trying to do, and it would probably work better if people couldn't see the the results until it was over, and no one posted who they voted for as well. That way no one can vote against someone in the lead for the hell of it. but I suppose its too late anyway.. just a suggestion for next time maybe...

maybe for people who vote anti they should explain their "bad experience" or their anti vote becomes void? i dunno, just don't want to see this good idea ruined...
That will only cause drama. No offense, but let it go, man. (hippy)

Way to make assumptions.

There's no bribing going on.

They still have that option. I just gave them one more.

What the hell would the point of that be?

A blind vote would be nice, but I didn't see any options for that when I did it.

That way no one can vote against someone in the lead for the hell of it. but I suppose its too late anyway.. just a suggestion for next time maybe...

so have the people who do the "anti" votes pm you with why they are voting that way, you don't have to disclose their names, how would that create drama?
 
Anyway, enough about the anti "anti" vote option. If you don't like the option, don't use it. I gave justification for giving the option, as I like to give people as many options as possible. It's already there, it's already said and done. It's not going to change. And whether or not those poeple are voting out of spite or voting because they were really screwed over is irrelvant, really. That's why this is anonymous.

Besides, if they can vote against someone out of spite, why can't they vote FOR someone for an equally silly reason? Six of one, half dozen of the other guys. Do the math...in the end, it'd all work out about the same. This way just allows people to express themselves differently if they choose to.

Another option they could use is this: There's company A, B, and C. A is in first place. They have no problem with A, but they really LOVE B and C. They can't decide who to vote for between B and C. So ,they can vote against A, as to give both of their favorites (B and C) a better chance at winning. It helps get rid of the "Nader factor" so to speak.

Again, it's all about giving people more options, case closed.

Sorry.. I just mistook this as something that was meant to be serious.
 
Sorry to join in late, but what happened to HiBoost? No matter how you feel, this is one of the first to offer a complete kit for our cars....
 
Wow, thanks guys i'm seriously honored that you have even nominated us for this. Without my serious hands on involvement in the past year, we've still tried to maintain a level of quality and standard for the protege guys. Not to mention trying to get stuff made by manufacturer's to suit or limited needs. hehe.

In any case, I just wanted to stand up here on behalf of Auto R & D with this award in my hand, and thank all our fans. WE LOVE YOU ALL. I can't forget to thank the mighty man up above. Without him none of us would be here. I want to thank my mom, dad, sister, my chocolate lab tai, my cholocate lab coco, my yellow lab butter, and my fat tail gecko pepe' lepeiu, sp? hehe. I always wanted to do that.

Seriously tho, if we have fallen off it's largely because of an intense growth movement for the company. In 2005 the industry and our users will truly be able to reap the benefits our recent efforts.

Well, I would vote MAM too cause i want that sick tubular manifold and GT Turbo. HEHE. I'm not sad, I'm glad. s*** SPD are my boyzzzzzz. They should be number two or one. Chris is on here all the time and I'm sure answers a lot more questions than I have. Well I do have the RISHIE'S FITMENT RECIPE. That s*** was pivotal. hehe.

Chris, time to start making new user names and voting. hehe. DON'T DO THAT. IT'S WRONG. I was only kidding.

Later guys, Rishie
 
So to the Anti's and Pros cancel each other? Like do you subtract the anti's from the pros to get the actual value? lol.
