The poll had not changed for over a day, and since everybody is biased (ie they want the person they voted for to win), although not everybody is biased to the point where they would do something about it. If it had been up to a Spaz voter, the voting would have stopped when Spaz was in front. If it had been up to a Chris voter, the voting would have stopped as soon as Chris got in front. Since it was up to me, I left it until the votes stopped coming in. My guess is just about everybody who entered, and most staff, and most regular members had voted or had the opportunity to. If we left the poll open for months and made sure every single member on the entire forums voted, then the outcome may have been different. I did post yesterday warning that the voting would end soon, and if you had any complaints you should have voiced them.

Well I think now would be a good time to end the voting. I now officially crown Chris and Kokane the King and Queen of The GTA Place Sexiest Member competition 2006. After weeks of voting, battling, slagging, sabotage, yelling, winning, losing and fighting, we reach the end. In the first round, Kokane won the female competition with 7 votes, and Chris and Spaz both received 4 votes each in the male competition. In the tiebreaker, Spaz received 7 votes and Chris got 9. Congratulations to Chris and Kokane, comiserations to all the other participants, especially ex-champ Spaz who hands over his title today.

Wow - thats the first long word i've heard from a non-staff member for.. a very long time. AND even a full stop at the end. Amazing. Voting will end soon, please place your final votes Current stats - 6 Jan 06 - 18:10 GMT - Spaz=7, Chris=9

Sorry, I don't think you're allowed to upload files that large. If its important, email it to us.

It really is a waste. What was that all about the GTAIII trilogy? Coming to an end. I recall Dan Houser saying "we really wanted to get these three games done and finish that storyline". Then LCS comes along for PSP, fine its only a handheld game, we can live with that. God I hope they don't port it to PC or 360 - that would mean GTA4 (if it exists) would be put back to 2008 really. By then if all R* have done for three years is LCS, then that is a terrible waste of time and resources, and could ruin the Grand Theft Auto reputation. I'm not saying its a bad game, its amazing as far as handheld consoles go. The thing is, its behind Vice City in terms of size, and roughly equalls it on features. We can say it'll have the same storyline, otherwise they would call it by another name. We were hoping for massive things for the next console game. Maybe this is part of a big plan from Sony. If they told everyone it was for PSP only, then everybody would buy a PSP. Months later they tell everyone its going to be for PS2 as well. It looks as if its going to be one of the last important games for PS2 before the PS3 comes out. Perhaps they just wanted to squeeze all the life out of the existing series and software and games and consoles before everything starts afresh for GTA4 and the next-gen consoles. If that is so, we can expect this to be a quick port to attract a slightly wider audience, make a few sales, before stunning people with GTA4. Lets hope thats how they'll do it.

If you are attempting to upload large files, they will take some time to upload. What is your internet connection speed, and how large is the file you are attempting to upload. If you are having trouble, send it to us via email and we may upload it for you.

To us Brits, 'proper' (prŏp'ər) means correct or real. eg The proper tool for the job (the correct tool) eg The proper form of a letter (the conventional form) eg The proper shape of an object (the real shape) eg A proper dinner, not just a snack (worthy of being called such) This example is the one that Taime used: "I will make some proper stuff" (Not just silly scrappy pretend stuff) She meant real and.. proper designs with effort in them, rather than just messing around with photoshop. That, sir, i believe is a correct usage of the word.

This should be in the SAN ANDREAS forums, not here. *moved*

In the poll when there were lots of people, some of the guys would have voted for themselves, and some would not. That is instantly unfair because the selfish guys would win. That is why we got rid of the poll method and asked you all to post your votes instead. I made a subtotal count of the votes before the end, but that was wrong, and spaz edited it wrongly so we gave up on that idea. When the voting ended, i moved the poll away from where anybody else (except admins) could view it, and that is where i counted the votes. Some people voted in big sentences, and that made it harder to see who they voted for, and subsequently two people's votes got missed off the final count. When you complained that "the poll had been deleted so none of us could count the votes", we'd simply moved the poll out of the way. I had to make a NEW topic to have this poll in, which is why i decided to hide the other one. It also made sure it was safe and couldn't be edited. When Spaz notified me of the missing votes, I moved the topic to where he could see it and we spent a long time going over the votes several times using several different methods. In the end we completely agreed on the votes, and were sure that nobody's votes had been tampered with. The only changes that were made were Crimson received one vote that i had not recognised, and he was added onto the sixth-equal position. Katie had received six votes not five. These errors were corrected straightaway, but did not affect the 1st positions or the current tie-break poll. If anybody still feels the need to want to check all the votes yet again, they really do need to get a life. Firstly, they must believe that this is very important, although Chris and Spaz will take the winner's title seriously. If you believe that everybody is out to get you, thats called paranoia. I moved the poll so that it wouldn't be questioned or tampered with, that effectively locked it up. If someone really wants to count the votes again, you would be welcome to, but you would probably believe that we've deleted votes for you or whoever you support, and you would never be satisfied. During the poll, suspicious things did happen. For example, my votes went down from 2 to 1 instead of up to 3, which could not have happened unless someone rigged the poll, and only five people could possibly have done that. That is why we went to post votes, which could not be rigged without us seeing the "edited by" line which we forced to turn on. We are confident that no votes have gone missing. If someone rigged the poll this time, they would have to edit my post at the top of the page. There is a line at the bottom of that post, just like at the bottom of this one, that clearly states the last person to edit that post or the poll. You can see the last time i edited it, that was to correct the previous poll scores and add the text at the top. Nobody can edit that poll without it being noticed

First-round Voting has now ended for the Sexiest Member Poll 2005 Over the past couple of weeks, all the members of The GTA Place Forums have been voting for the sexiest male and female members who submitted their photographs. After much voting, arguing and even rigging, the voting has been closed, and the proper unedited official not-tampered-with votes have been counted and verified several times. These results have been deemed accurate by multiple staff conducting multiple counts. For those who are wondering where the voting topic has gone, that has been moved to a safe place where it cannot be tampered with. Anybody wishing to check the votes themselves really needs to get a life. And i mean, really. The results for the Males are as follows: 1st equal = Spaz & Chris on 4 votes each 3rd equal = Tom & MVI on 3 votes each 5th = Zino on 2 votes 6th equal = Chris82 & Pyro & Dave on 1 vote each The results for the Females are as follows: 1st = Kokane with 7 votes 2nd equal = Katie with 6 votes Since there is a tie, there is a poll at the top of this page for the first-equal male members. Since there are only two members participating, then we will allow these two people to vote for themselves. That way there will be at least 1 vote each way, and we can track them all. No tactical voting is possible, just simply vote for who you think is the best looking. No it is NOT gay for a guy to vote on which of two other guys is the better looking - you can all judge who is good looking as who is not. Here are the two photo galleries for the remaining participants: Spaz - - Chris Vote honestly. Tie-break poll will be closed in a day or two.

You aren't calling a guy attractive. By saying he's the best looking out of a choice doesn't mean you are sexually attracted to him. I think anybody can dechipher who is ugly and who isn't, and thats all you're doing - everyone else is ugly, and i'm not. Simple.

That dude reminds me of someone from a band i saw not so long ago... but he's Bedn at newgrounds and stuff.

Welcome to all tgtap's new members, hope you enjoy your time here. If you hurry you can still vote in the sexiest member topic in annouments. Good to see we've had 500 posts in this topic now.

My bad i missed off Dennie's vote.

Haven't we banned you a couple of times?

Roundup of results so far: 7 kokane 7 katie 4 chris 4 spaz 3 tom 3 mvi 2 zino 1 chris82 1 pyro 1 Crimson 33 votes so far - kokane is yet to vote for a male Now can someone else give me a couple of votes or do i have to start begging? EDIT: Added someone else's votes in fer ya, Zino. Yess yess, I could've made a new post which would've been easier on me and easier for people to read, but..... Um... Wow... Ok. Yeah. I'm seriously tired. -Spaz

Yes, everybody votes for one male and one female, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

Hehe you're right, and I am sorry if that sounded out of turn, it just seemed like a coincidence that your friends voted for you, and you voted for your friends.

Apart from the "i'm straight bit"...MVI, I wasn't exactly saying everybody who knows anybody will vote for them. I didn't say all the staff here would vote for Chris cos he's in charge. I said your circle of friends are voting for each other because they're your friends. You mean to say you actually think that Chris82 is the sexiest member of these forums? ...no offense Chris, but you are 13 and frankly I would imagine mvi has some problems if he does. Thats probably off the mark but I just don't think its exactly coincidence.

Correct me if i'm out of turn but this is getting a bit like Eurovision. People are voting for their friends or the person they want to impress. Example? MVI voted for Chris82, Chris82 voted for MVI, DTA voted for MVI.... They all work on GTAProjects (mvi's site)... Can't people just vote for who they actually think is the sexiest member of the forums, not who they like the most or want to get along with or impress or suck up to.

Not quite true. Even if you do install the mod correctly, some slower computers don't recognise it straigtaway, and the cars can appear all white. The best way to get rid of this problem is to get a faster computer

Spaz.. did you forget to mention you can't vote for yourself? I voted for Tom and Katie

God this is taking forever. Just make a new topic with a 24h deadline. Each member posts 3 pics and no discussion. Voting occurs in another topic after that one is closed.

*moved to GTASA Help Forum*

And you're going to do another one on...? This isnt a pat-on-the-back topic
