March POTM

A picture's composition is also very important. A nice well centered subject will usually look much better than some weird-angled shot which also shows the frame of the tank.

Something else I noticed. Why did the Common Pleco pick up like 8 votes by itself in the last week? Sounds like another vote for me on facebook scenario.

Why exactly are you so upset?? is your picture losing and your mad? You know its very possible for 8 out of 51 people to have just voted for the pleco in that week. Thats only like 1 vote a day, not that crazy man.

No, I spend a lot of time researching political methods and it's easy to see what have happening these polls the last couple months. We have had an influx of new members in the 13-19 age range. They talk to each other and ask that others in that age range to vote for them regardless of the fish or picture quality and they do it blindly. Now, if that's not skewed I don't know what is.

bottom line is this: this is a trend and its gonna keep happening. nothings gonna stop people from PM'ing others and askin them to vote.it is sad but its happening and its real. we just need to learn to adapt to it like we learn to adapt to a lotta other things that happens in real life.

Whatever, if someone wants to send their friends and tell them to register and vote in this silly little contest than we shouldn't be mad, we should pity them...I can care less if I win, I just like showing my little fatties off.

Exactly its just a photo of the month picture on a forum, why are people getting so upset about it. Its not like any of those pictures up there are really any good anyways. Believe me, the best picture will win no matter what. I don't think the pleco picture is all that bad. Its centered, its fins are fully out, its just a little blurry but almost all of them are.

[th3g0t0guy]

no matter what the best picture is always going to win because there are more of us then the stupid little ones that need their friends help to win....

so whatever picture is the best it will win.period.

[Hoyo12]

So... does this mean no winner? Not to be pushy or anything. Just curiosity.

[OCtrackiepacsg1]

No, its not like the pleco won, so nothing controversial. The Jack Dempsy won fair and square

I've sent Shaggy the sidebar info. He isn't on a lot. Can another admin change it if I send them that info?

[Osiris]

Sidebar info?

[bmlbytes]

On the homepage, on the right side, there is a sidebar with the POTM and the TOTM winners. It needs to be updated.

[bmlbytes]

Could an admin please update the homepage sidebar! Its been half a month. If you need the picture and the info I can PM it to you.
