you have to win to be promoted. If a mod wins, they become and admin. If an admin wins, they become ioi

I'm not a mod...and I don't think that many people vote me for being a DB Admin (outside of the other DB admins), or for being a contributor. In the end it's what d21 brilliantly said, if you work hard for this site, you're more likely to be offered a staff spot, and if you work hard you're also more likely to be a well known member of the community

I'd have to go with Zexon on this one for once, for the simple fact he likes the PSP. which so far seems to be my overall fave this gen. :)

I vote for my good friend Mr. Lowe.

Zexen Lowe for those who arent familiar with his real name

Ohoh, I'm not saying you guys don't fairly deserve to have your positions. I was saying from the beginning that it's unfair to regular users to have to compete with admins and mods. That is why there have been "best admin" contests. "Best User" contest is just a "Best admin" contest, except with a lot more filler.

And you should know that people have placed many many votes depending on the contributions to the charts or games database, or what have you.

Smoked Hostage is like a brother from another mother. You know, that brother that actually shares his stuff with you and doesn't call you names *cries*

Ahem... yes... so, Smoked.
