Number 12, my tune, got no votes... you can't even see that in the results though, cuz everything got all screwed up and my track wasn't posted along with the others (not my fault ). But yea just to put that out there.

Yea man, this one got a bit messed up. I think maybe the deadline should have been extended (again, if it was once already) and possibly more time taken over the whole thing. There's too much rushing that happens in my eyes.
I'm sorry that your tune was overlooked mate. I guess we've just got to keep improving the process which, in time, will happen.

But it's all just a bit of fun : ) We shouldn't get too serious about the whole thing or the fun stops, which is the main point of the comp.

true, I just like to see it run smoothly, when I first started doing these (which wasnt very long ago) shit was a little more punctual and I liked that, not more serious just more punctual, a deadline was a deadline, if a tune was accidentally not put up it the person would make a quick post about it and it would get taken care of, the rules were always posted by the winner, the music would get posted a few days after the deadline. More people were participating, listening and voting too, I feel like when things are more punctual and not sloppy everything is more enjoyable for everybody. maybe we should push the deadline back a bit? I always liked 3 weeks, but if its the winners choice thats cool too.

I agree, this was the first one I actually entered and I didn't find it very smooth. Especially with the uploading of the tunes. There should be rules regarding the hosting service, cuz some people uploaded on rapidshare which is bitch do dl from if you don't have an account. Imo all tunes should be uploaded to mediafire, its free, easy and fast, or at least to something similar. I don't really care about pushing the deadline, although I didn't have so much time to properly finish the tune, 2 or 3 weeks is fine, its up to the winner i'd say.

Cheers for the template .

Just to let everyone know, I've made the samplepack but I'm having a few problems uploading it; I'll have it up within the next 24 hours - just look out for the new thread

tried mediafire??

Yeah I tried mediafire, megaupload, rapidshare and a few others but none of them have even got past starting... I've tried firefox and internet explorer on a dektop and a laptop at 2 houses so far and I tried wireless and wired connection - ain't got a fucking clue whats goin on.

I hate to be the newb asking... but do we still have time to enter tracks? I thought I saw somewhere we have till the 13th.
