June 5, 201213 yr Seems like i went on hiatus at the right time! I still blame Breathe Slow doing well for that contest and the near all-out civil WAR that erupted! (But that whole thing was good for posts anyway. The final results thread for that contest was the most successful EVER by quite some way IIRC...)
June 5, 201213 yr Oh this has NOTHING on some of the old arguments! :D Some of us have still got the scars from BJSC 14. so this is where the juice has been at all this time (&the post counts)
June 5, 201213 yr In fairness for all we raise issue these days in our ETERNAL QUEST FOR PERFECTION (© jark 2010) no contest we'll have will EVER be as bad as BJSC XIV! Thank god the WINNER was up to scratch.
June 5, 201213 yr The following all came TOP HALF within a month of release: 2: September - Can't Get Over - 151 [sF2: 2 // 112] 4: The Veronicas - Untouched - 147 [sF1: 1 // 119] 5: Enrique Iglesias; Ciara - Takin' Back My Love - 141 [sF2: 6 // 84] 6: Noisettes - Don't Upset The Rhythm - 130 [sF1: 7 // 84] 7: Lady Sovereign - So Human - 124 [sF1: 5 (more votes) // 96] 8: VV Brown - Leave! - 121 [sF2: 1 // 114] 9: Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone - 116 [sF2: 4 // 95] 14: Taylor Swift - Love Story - 95 [sF1: 2 // 104] HIDEOUS
June 5, 201213 yr XIV will forever live in BJSC fame for being the contest that sparked what seemed to be a good 6 solid months of arguing (May or may not be inflated, it certainly felt like 6 months) and lead to not one but two moderators resigning. NF-gate I'd say was probably the worst (given that it actually caused both mods to resign).

So at least something good came of it :kink:

NF-gate I'd say was probably the worst (given that it actually caused both mods to resign). I think if anything NF-gate was just the straw that broke the camel's back for Rich! After a contest of being yelled at by people INSISTING that it was perfectly fine for everyone to just enter whatever was due to hit the top ten and it was DICTATORIAL to not allow it, for people to then turn around and scream that Eurovision national final entries shouldn't be permitted at all must have just come off as utterly ridiculous. A shame we lost the contest's best mod out of it!
June 5, 201213 yr http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90004 And that one wasn't even where half the shit went down! (Which was actually if I recall a pisstakey thread campaigning against the cheap entries I started which EVERYONE took the wrong way and thought was me putting down everyone else's entry and using as an excuse to just hype my own! :D Things never change.)

A shame we lost the contest's best mod out of it! Every time we've had a vacancy I've asked Rich to comeback. Although I am exceedingly happy with the current team to the point where Rich is the only worth replacement without someone coming from the darkness with an exceptional application like Cal and Martin. And that one wasn't even where half the shit went down! (Which was actually if I recall a pisstakey thread campaigning against the cheap entries I started which EVERYONE took the wrong way and thought was me putting down everyone else's entry and using as an excuse to just hype my own! :D Things never change.) Wasn't it our campaign against banning changes? Now that was hilariously amusing.

Found it! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89625 The changes one was another one (still amazing)
June 5, 201213 yr I love that I signed it with one of the lazy confirmations in question. Although my reasoning pwned. Moving>>>>>>>Pissing about with Youtube and Orange's upload speed of 1kb/millennium.
June 5, 201213 yr One thing I have to quote as I can't let it die in 09. Glorious was and still is amazing, sends shivers down my spine in the epic opening build up :heart: one day you will win and shatter all records along the way, I'm sure of it, possibly with the next single from you know who as soon as it leaks :heehee: So it may not have been Red Blooded Women's next single but it sure as hell shattered records! First Tied Victory, Most Entries Prior To Winning (now broken :(), Smallest Margin Of Victory (now equalled) and First & Only Foreign Language winner. :wub: Shame it took 28 contests to do....
