You guys are totally free to do whatever you want, I'm not the dictator of Joedios. Though personally I'm displeased with how the voting goes for a few reasons.
First, I was really disappointed with the turn out on the remake theme. I think only three or four people participated and that kind of hurts. I didn't bother rounding them up because of that, and the fact that I'm rather pissed with this entire website as of late.
Why did no one do any remakes? Do you guys not appreciate anyone's work? I was expecting a ton of remakes of Outrider's stuff, but not a single shot besides my own. Maybe the themes I chose are no good, but the lack of remakes coupled with the fact that a lot of members don't like to comment anymore makes me feel as though some of you are really self consumed.
Also, there's only been three to five shots for the past two weekends, Rescue Missions and Mortal Enemies. Is that because we quit the voting? If that's the case then there's a really bad attitude passing around here, of people who just want to compete opposed to those who are inspired by the great work of our fellow photographers.
And my last problem, more people chose to compete rather than vote! I guess some of you were afraid that voting for someone else would hurt your chances of winning nothing? Really, going through many of the weekends with high turnouts, there was usually half or less who voted than different people who posted shots. This might have been more worth it for everyone involved if more folks voted.
Personally, I'm done with voting. Weekend Warriors should just be a theme for every weekend instead of a competition, like it used to be. I want to say as well that I'm not trying to be a jerk, but as long as some of you keep the competitive attitude, before long this place won't be fun for anyone, and I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment. This isn't at anyone in particular, I just want more people to see that it's really more fun if everything's not some kind of competition.
And I hope that you Reverend Blood, or TOD aren't offended by what I've said since I didn't mean it at you two. But I've found that keeping to myself and never saying what I think doesn't help much.
