I also tried it this morning and the link wasn't working. Let us know if it comes back online and we'll be there to support you

[Blaiz]

Yeah the website there seems to be down

yessir matt! it's kind of like girl scout cookies... door to door to door to...

I appreciate everyone's support!

[Agent 47]

I tried, but the link dosn't work.

Blaiz- I went through the PITA process of registering and voting for you. I've met you, I like you, and I think you deserve to win this contest.

That said, I'm very much against the idea of manually spamming the member list here on NWDC. It goes against the grain of what this site is all about. I can't find anything specific in the TOS that forbids it. But that makes me think that the powers that be should add something to the TOS that DOES forbid it. Is this any different from every dive shop owner sending PMs to everyone registered to NWDC advertising their awesome sale on lime green retractors and their great rates on dive trips? Or, for that matter, Me PMing everyone to drum up business for my construction company?

This thread is even questionable, by that same reasoning. But that's a gray area that nobody is likely to question- it IS dive related, and I think we'd all be delighted if you won. But, see- people that know and like you will look at the thread, and decide to support you- as opposed to the 1500 or so people registered to this site who look at it rarely or never.

I have stepped down as a mod, so I'm not asking in any official capacity- I'm asking as a longtime member of the site- please don't do this.

Kriss--Josh does have a point. Those of us who know you are happy to support you, but sending everyone PM's is a bit over the top. We don't even do that for club-sponsored events and such. You might want to stop while you're ahead, so to speak.

Good luck on winning, though!

[Norris]

their awesome sale on lime green retractors

Can I get some more information on this please?

[eliseaboo]

Looks like I'm going to have some competition

...if I ever get my act together and make a video...

ok that's probably not going to happen...

[CaptnJack]

Some Ukrainian has a comfortable margin for now, although its not clear that blog votes "count" for anything.

[Magoi]

I put my vote in - no problems. 28 votes before mine.

[oldsalt]

Kriss: I have tried several times on different days and have yet to get through. I'll keep trying. good luck - Curt

[Blaiz]

Oh my. I guess I should have come home last night. I offer apologies to anyone who thinks sending PM's is too much, but I assure you I sent them with an innocent air, much as a girl scout forced to sell cookies goes first to her friends and family, in the hopes that they will pity her first and help her reach her sales goals. No disrespect is or would ever be intended.

For anyone who has taken the time and trouble to leave a vote, I give you my everlasting thanks, whether the thing is won or not. Their website was down for a day or so, but it is back up last I checked.

[Metal man]

I voted, good luck!

[spudgunman]

site finally worked for me.. commented up

[Blaiz]

thank you so much, everyone!

This is the last week and I'm so jittery and excited, I want this really bad.

I'm replying here somewhat reluctantly since I don't want to stir the proverbial pot, so to speak. But, do you realize you're making an ethical argument against excessive PMing(aka board spamming) while flashing the "shocker" in your avatar.

I don't think PM'ing all members of the board would need to be addressed in the TOS, like vulgarity is, unless it's something that becomes habitual.

That said, I guess my main point is that we ALL operate in grey areas sometimes and since Blaiz is posting something that is dive related and related to her furthering her dive education - we should all let this one slide.

[Joshua Smith]

Thanks for your input. Go ahead and file a complaint with the ethics commitee about my avatar. Please.

i don't really see the correlation between josh's choice of avatar (even if it is considered vulgar) and abusing the forum's PM feature and memberlist for personal gain.

we should all let this one slide.

we did, until you brought it back up.
