שוקי רושם בפורום !!!!
In the past week I was on vacation, so I couldn't answer to all the messages on the message boards and all the angry emails I got about the FHM poll. Yes, I was the one who developed the massive voting machines, it is my fault and I take the responsibility for that. I feel really bad about it and I'm so embarrassed, but I hope you understand that my intentions were good - I only wanted to see the Corrs winning another poll. This is not the first time we try to change polls results by 'stuffing' them. We do it all the time and we almost always win. These Internet polls are just little competitions between the fans, just like, say, video-clash on MTV for instance. The only difference in this one was that our timing was bad and maybe the voting machine was too massive. When we win, everybody is so proud of the victory and of the parts they played, but when we lose everybody just look for someone to blame and act so surprised that someone in our team cheated, even though just a month earlier you helped cheating in this poll or another, or maybe you didn't even actively participated in any cheat in any poll, but you knew about it, enjoyed it, enjoyed winning and maybe even eventually said thank you. By the way, just for your information, the records of my website (in which I hosted the massive voting machine) showed that about 170 (I don't remember the exact number) different computers had used the machine for a long time and had voted thousands of times. I noticed that in many of the responses people were upset because FHM magazine is involved in it. Well, to be completely honest, I really don't know this magazine and I have never read it - the only thing I had known about it is that this poll was done every year, I had read about this poll in so many places and I had also read that every year Andrea's position was getting worse, so the only thing I knew for sure was that we needed to change this dreadful fact and win this poll - it was just another poll we had to win. Maybe I'm obsessed, but I like seeing the Corrs winning, either on online polls or in the local music shop, when I buy over and over again the same Corrs' albums that I already have and convince all my friends to buy them as well, so the Corrs will be in the top of the top 20 of the store. I can't find the words to describe how bad I feel about it. Just before I left for my vacation, FHM posted a message on COL saying that they caught us - they didn't ban the Corrs yet, everybody just had a good laugh at me and nobody took it too seriously. But a few days later, I was trying to have some fun on my vacation when I used my WAP to check updates and see if maybe Jim posted a message, but then I read that FHM banned the Corrs and that it was my fault and I just felt so bad and didn't know what to do anymore. I couldn't even listen to the Corrs' music anymore, because I felt too guilty and I thought that I wasn't deserve listening to the Corrs' music after what I did. Before I left I only got 'thank you' messages and laughs, but now when I check my email it is full of messages telling me that I'm the worst fan ever, that I should be ashamed of what I did, that they don't want to see me again in the fans community, that because of fans like me the Corrs have bad reputation(?!), some sent me viruses and others sent me loads of junk mail. I am really ashamed and I am really embarrassed. The last thing on earth I wanted to do was to hurt the Corrs or the fans. I certainly learnt a lesson and I sincerely hope that you understand that my intentions were good and I hope that at least some of you still appreciate the time and energy I used to put in these polls in order to help us win over and over again. Jim, if you read this, please forgive me, I didn't want this to happen. Please don't think that I'm the worst fan ever - my intentions were good after all. Elad P.S. I am still on vacation, but after I read through my WAP what happened and all the emails I got, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote this and when I finished I couldn't wait until I come back home, so I found here a computer and posted this already. (Which means that I can't respond again until I come back home) למי שקשה לו עם אנגלית אז תרגום קצר בכמה מישפטים לאדם שיצר את התוכנה שהצביעה אוטומטית לקורס קוראים אלדד (העניין אם הוא ישראלי) הוא מבקש סליחה בלי סוף בהודעה הזאת. הוא אומר שהוא קיבל אי מיילים שאומרים שהוא צריך להיתבייש במה שהוא עשה הוא קיבל וירוסים וכולי.... הוא מבקש סליחה מג'ים כי הוא יודע שגי'ם קורא את הפורום (של הקורס שולטים לא שלנו
טוב הוא לא בדיוק יודע עיברית) הוא אומר שהוא עשה זאת הרבה פעמים כי הוא רק רוצה שהקורס יזכו בכל תחרות ושהרבה מעריצים עזרו לו. אם שחכתי משהו חשוב אז אתם מוזמנים ביותר להעיר ושאלה מה אתם חושבים על זה ? ועוד שאלה אתם חושבים שיזכירו את זה בגיא פינס ?
