SPI Update

By Ian Shires
5/26 IDOL REPORT POST
Hi folks. WHEW!!! It took some doing to catch up after the weekend out-of town thing (still have some bits and pieces, but we're getting back on track now)A few things to say: If you have a complaint about something - please send it to me, the Idol forum section is not a place to post a thread complaining about something, and I've moved/deleted a couple posts. If there's a bug, there is a bugs forum section. If you just need to vent, go to General Chatter. I'm not going to let the Idol section get cluttered up with that kind of stuff. I am working as hard and as fast as I can to catch up, and I'm sorry I took a few days off.
Anyway, the PROJECTS haven't been taking any time off, and we're seeing bigger and bigger numbers as we get this round into full swing. The top 3 is digging in it's heels - Faction even moved up a spot to #2 - sticking Steel Rising on the edge. Their security is limited, as there are projects below them, getting bigger numbers than they are. So even as hometown Heroes nudged Diary of a Teenage Heroine down a notch, will the final shuffle have it in the Cover Project slots?I was asked if I can send the names of who has voted each day to the projects...as in the previous round, the vote system afforded people the ability to know exactly who voted for them each day. I thought long and hard on that one, cause, it is POSSIBLE...however, what that does, is make it OK and easy for everyone to spam the voters. I think we're going to keep the records of votes, a sealed thing, OK!
One last thing...I've noticed a number of projects that have posted NO additional art, revisions, eye candy of any sort, to keep their forum threads active and interesting. Just pointing it out. Here's those numbers...
