Here is the link to the winners Gallery; Please keep this page opened as you check out the %age of votes in each case. We hope that this will help you to understand what the BFA is all about. There is no gain or loss for us in any form or the other who ever wins.
http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/thread/1099768.aspx#1099768This is for those who have not fully understood how the BFA functions. The Criteria that is the most important of all.
We would expect nominees to take the cues the judges give them in a constructive manner and do what is needed in order to score higher marks. As we all know that if we sit at the computer 24/7 we can drum up all the votes needed to win. But Bogdan realized that some credit must be given to those nominees who bring in maximum number of votes and those votes should count
to an extent. Rotating the Judges has been followed for a long time now. Bogdan is aware of that and we the moderators of the BFA are allowed to do that.
With that said, we trust that this will be taken in the spirit it is meant, and that forum owners will take note of their scores, work on the weak areas and come back again and nominate their forum for the award.
We will not be allowing post to this thread but would like to hear from you none the less so send in your thoughts through 'PM' we will really appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you all for supporting us through out 2007 and now we are at the end of 2008, so a double THANK YOU & loads of hugz,
from your BFA Team
Pauline & Joe
