I typed 'specious'. Not 'suspicious'. It was not a spelling error. I STILL don't see anything wrong with giving long time subscribers more points than first time subscribers.
Feel free to argue about product placement, products that weren't included in certain categories, or products that weren't included at all. To me that's a different argument, and not what I'm taking issue with.I conceded that IMHO some of the product placements were wrong. I disagree about your point of view about the voting procedure. Your analogy is flawed. Only people that view Fox can vote in the first place.Only people that register with CFDJ either as a full subscriber or for the vote, are allowed to vote. i.e. they aren't letting anyone who has not seen Fox/CFDJ vote period. They are allowing long time viewers of Fox to have more of a say than people who only just started looking for the express purpose of voting for 'their' product. And forgive me if I'm a little less than confident about the sapience of your statements. You're the same individual that made vociferous predictions of the abandonment of CFMX by Macromedia, and expressed your certainty that it was a dead language.(but of course you and your team were still going to support it to the best of your ability.) Now you are complaining that your CFMX based product didn't score as well as you think it should when pitted against other CF products and blaming the voting method. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Mike Randolph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
