*****VOTE FOR BNG*****
 
it would be nice to see it on the chart...

Black and Gold Netis listed as one of the top four Saints fan sites in this week's Sports Illustrated. It is included as part of the NFL Preview issue, which features scouting reports on all 32 teams. Readers are asked to choose the best of four fan sites. The winning site - the one with the most votes - will be featured on SI.com's new Saints team page.

done

saintswhodi 08-30-2006 01:46 PM

This needs to be stickied at the top. Saints report is winning though, at least that's what my poll results said.

wheelman 08-30-2006 01:50 PM

Saints Report has 96%. Yikes.

foreverfan 08-30-2006 03:00 PM

Saintsreport is run like a bunch of PMSing Nuns are running the site. The constantly ban many of their contributors there without warning. I've been banned without warning and without even breaking any rules.

I don't plan on using their site again for posting. Personally I think Andrus runs his board like a self absorbed NAZI. Recently, they have banned a couple of my friends and cousin thinking it was me. What a joke.

This board is run by fair moderators and not a bunch of femanazis. You want to see another fun board? Visit the Raiders board www.raidersfan.net That's a cool board too.

Oh Yea... I voted for this board. BLACK AND GOLD !! ! ! ! ! !

jrmllb 08-30-2006 03:36 PM

BlackandBlue 08-30-2006 04:29 PM

Go vote!

hagan714 08-30-2006 10:24 PM

lol been booted there more than once. love it. sure they are slaming the site

mikesaintfan 08-31-2006 02:14 PM

my vote is in

BlackandBlue 08-31-2006 02:46 PM

those saints report guys must be real good with click scripts :P

xan 08-31-2006 03:40 PM

I've voted about 50 times, deleting the cookies each time. If others from this site have done it on average 10 times each, that would be approximately 2000 votes for BnG. If we only have 6% of the total votes, that means that SaintsReport has generated over 33K votes. Something isn't right. SI should be notified that the voting is rigged and that they should start this over given that there's an economic incentive here to cheat. Outrage. Rabble Rabble.

papz 08-31-2006 04:58 PM

BnG! :drink:

Exactly!
They are using auto-click programs to vote multiple times.
That is geeky.
Banned from there too for voicing dissenting opinions against long time posters. :roll:

Best line in the thread. :lolup:

saintfan 09-01-2006 04:07 PM

Personally, I just like to know that the rules are the same for everyone. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case.

you are 100% correct.

D24pick 09-02-2006 03:33 PM

We're like 2nd

BoudinSandwich 09-03-2006 08:23 AM

I threw my vote in there even though it seems hopeless.

I was permanently banned from Saints Report for typing the following message:

Brooks Sucks!



That's all it took for those guys to kick me. Hands down, BnG.net is the best board I've been on. Honestly, I love it here.

You criminal! :roll:

Halo 09-03-2006 07:27 PM

Brooks sucks... hmm that's pretty anal. I know some people that should join over there. They seem to be touchy about Brooks also.

LKelley67 09-04-2006 01:26 PM

somebody has a nice auto-program or stayed at the keyboard last night...

only 4% behind SR now

For ye tech geeks- if I just vote, close the window, and vote again does it work? Or do I have to disable cookies or something? I have clicked it a lot but have never seen the % change while I was there.

Halo 09-04-2006 01:42 PM

First of all you guys are either sick or very stoned out of your minds. :)

Second, the page is cached so it may be you guys voting all along.

Third, we aren't into cheating. I did post a banner on the front page yesterday which may have called in the cavalry. But for the record, no one from our staff is doing anything other than what we do, and hardly have time to moderate the forum and write/post articles. Just want to put that out there.

Fourth, I have no clue as to how the voting works. I only voted twice for my own website.

But it is wild how in about 2 days we jumped like that.

papz 09-04-2006 03:04 PM

I can see some people having B&G tattoos... just kidding! I just put that idea in someone's head... now the next time they're plastered, they're going to wake up with one on their forehead.

8)

D24pick 09-04-2006 03:34 PM

We're at 45%, under SaintsReport

pakowitz 09-04-2006 04:02 PM

only 1% behind them... lets keep it up guys!!!

AllSaints 09-04-2006 08:37 PM

we are winning...........

wheelman 09-05-2006 07:31 AM

This thing must have ended a few days ago, because Saints Report is listed at the bottom of the page.

Halo 09-05-2006 09:03 AM

It's not the position on the page Sammich, it's the percentages of votes.

wheelman 09-05-2006 09:09 AM

I'm talking about the team page, not the poll. Saints Report is already listed.

My bad, I thought you were talking about the poll :D

I already contacted them about getting listed. They only list 4 for each team, what qualifies you to list I don't know, but we write our own articles and not just copy them from other sources. Hopefully they will feel motivated by that.

BlackandBlue 09-05-2006 01:49 PM

SI caught them last week and had to adjust the votes. They'll adjust them again I'm sure.

all i can say is I'm disappointed. would have been one thing to come from a poster, but an ADMIN? make **** up much over there much? this dude can suck my balls.

wheelman 09-05-2006 04:14 PM

Saints Report now has 51% of the vote.

wheelman 09-05-2006 04:49 PM

SR now at 57%.

foreverfan 09-05-2006 08:37 PM

I love the fact that others are finding out about this site.

foreverfan 09-05-2006 09:03 PM

That's great... I watched where we were down by 10 and went up in a matter of hours. Keep up the good work.

LKelley67 09-06-2006 08:41 AM

They have copied and pasted much from threads here (including mine). Sheesh, a lot revved upness over the little train on the tracks next door!

No one, including the Mods have disputed this-

BnG actually generates much more traffic on the front page than SR does. SR basically just copies stuff you find from other sources. BnG has original articles and well written takes that many people like to read.
Perhaps some visitors will take the time to realize that there is more to Saintdom than SR, BnG, or other fan sites.

I hope this little interchange may create some fresh traffic here and not contention among Saint fans. Visit all the sites! They all have unique features, takes, or characters. I end up here most often because I would characterize it as having a higher quality than quantity content. There is some good info at SR but certainly a whole lot of fat and gristle to maneuver through as well.

I know a few here have carpal tunnelized. I don't relate but do appreciate anyone's devotion to something. If it from being hammered or banned at another site reconsider. I have seen goofy mod actions at ALL of them. If it is cuz ya love the BnG, then keep on clicking. LOL

wheelman 09-06-2006 01:43 PM

Saints Report is cheating!!!

First of all, the idiots over there don't understand that you can vote as many times as you like. They have been accusing us of cheating for the past two days. Well, one of their posters said that he was going to "fight fire with fire" and use his special keyboard to jump the vote count. That message, and all of the messages of encouragement that followed it, has been erased. Unfortunately it happened before I could get a screen capture. That was a little more than three hours ago, and their vote count has more than tripled! This is going way too far.

gandhi1007 09-06-2006 01:57 PM

I'm with you wheelman........Something smells fishy! Saints Report just received 7,000 votes in the last 4 hours. That to me seems impossible. Somebody's cheating.

wheelman 09-06-2006 02:00 PM

28,000, not 7,000. They only had 6500 votes this morning. we had 9000.

gandhi1007 09-06-2006 02:28 PM

Man.....wheelman. You're right! Unbelievable!!! That's just rediculous!!!!
