Dont take this the wrong way but I just dont have the same trust here. I mean on vbulletin.com I have a belief that the best board will probably win (apart from the arabic instance). Here it to me anyway feels like personality wins, those forum users who are know here, those great coders, who dont get me wrong deserve recognition but its the wrong contest... Who the admin is should not matter and thats what I feel will determine the winner of this competition here, more than it did at vbulletin.com

People over here are more community oriented and will participate more than on vb.com As for it being a "popularity contest", that can happen anywhere. The only thing that could change this perhaps is making it so that they have to explain their reason.

I just think that to avoid the appearance of impropriety the people running the contest should agree to bow out of the running...it is what I would expect with any contest. Seconded nominations can be padded as well...not saying you would...but thats why contests remove that possibility so that those entering don't have to wonder.

Your concerns are vaild and have made it to the admin levels. I see problems with the way this is currently begin done and will have to make sure some changes are made.
