Hello Angel, Thanks for your opinion, I've receive a number of emails directly from people with community managers that feel the same way it isn't fair. Please re-read the thread carefully you will also note other 'credible' people feel it isn't fair either.
VOTING: The bottom line in regards to the CFDJ is clearly rigging the vote box in favor of it's advertisers. This has always been nothing but a subscription drive for CFDJ, and if were able to drive more legitimate subscribers to their site then that's always been a win. This year the 'winners' have really just bought the award and everyone should be aware when they go to choose there next ColdFusion product purchase. BTW: We wanted a legitimate win with legitimate voters and legitimate rules, if I was being suspicious would I bring it up in a public form and would we be behind...na, your logic is flawed. It's like advertising a president up for election on FOX news channel and then congress giving everyone that's seen the FOX ad's twice as much voting power as the rest. Who do you think would win? There wouldn't of been any Florida debate, it would of been a landslide victory for the 2x power voters. CATEOGORIES: If the Blue Dragon SERVER is in the most Innovative CF APPLICATION category shouldn't ColdFusion MX be and if so what category does my application go in? I think that is pretty simple and if CFDJ had an eye to fairness (and not their advertisers) they would of removed BlueDragons SERVER from the APPLICATION category. Either ColdFusion MX should be going head to head with them or they shouldn't be there. Please note that lots of Macromedia applications were entered, yet ColdFusion MX server was not entered into application category. On our product ...I've had many OO programmers tell me it is a great foundation. One long time customer whom had upgraded from our 3.0 product, recently told me he was VERY dissatisfied with our total leveraging of the new CFMX platform using CFMX/Java , but then a few days later it was starting to grow on him. A major motion picture company just went with our JSP/Java product after reviewing other options and that ain't no 'fish story'..:) Kind Regards, Mike Randolph >Hmm.. > >I don't even think Able Commerce should be ranked that high in the first >place. > >And I find the 'argument' about who's votes count the most quite >specious. > >I find nothing wrong with people who have only just subscribed to the >magazine having less of a say than long time subscribers. >People could subscribe just in order to vote.
