Hi Thomas, I suppose your right, since a developer by his or her very nature would consider their own games top notch. The big problem is that the developers are customers as well and should be allowed to vote, so your suggestion is fair, developers should probably not be allowed to vote for their own games, but should be allowed to vote on other peoples work.
I suppose I could take on the vote count job, as long as the poll doesnt run too long into march or april. I have to take off for a while sometime then. Thanks for the suggestion, allan The truth will set you free...
