[center]Zaid, you should not have been placed so low. Yes, your profile had bare bones but you also had a link to your Facebook. Not the common twitter link, but a direct URL to you profile page. That in itself shows just how inviting you are. You are giving members of ATRL a chance to befriend you to learn about you on a personal level, more than what a silly profile on a forum could ever do.

THANK YOU!
I mean yes I don't have my profile cluttered with bunch of information "about me" but I'm offering more than that with links to my last.fm, Facebook, Twitter and signature.

It's an open invitation for members to get to know me on a personal level, to put a picture on my name, to browse through the music I listen to.

But if that's not enough for the judges, I don't know what is.

maybe they ranked you lower because of how you spelt "The Weekend" in your signature wrong

It's not spelled wrong though? He is called The Weeknd.

For me, it was because it was so lackluster and not much there that I ended up skimming a lot of it. I didn't see any information to get to know you worth reading. That resulted in me not even noticing your last.fm, Facebook, and Twitter links. Plus this is ATRL, until you really get to know someone, they won't want to friend you or follow you until. They want to get to know you on an ATRL level first and then build up that trust to make friends outside of the site. At least that's my personal experience on the situation.

Since the drinking age is non-exsistant where we are going I imagine, we should all celebrate with some wonderful gay inspired shots.

What is "lackluster" even mean? I mean it's not like you can design the about me page.
Mine looks neat and gives a general idea of what type of person I am.
I wouldn't wanna open an "about me" page and have to read an essay.
But I guess the judges see differently, because this isn't even the first time that I feel like my entry has been giving a lower grade than what it deserves.

I'm not fighting. I just get the sense that some people are being praised for minimum work, while I put in the effort and still hasn't topped the list.

My tour set list was flawlessly excuted. I was the only one that actually presented a tour set list with a promo cover/title. Everyone else just posted top 5 songs with explanations! It was even deemed best by my fellow contestants, which says a lot.

Anyway, I'm ready for the new challenge. I will snatch that #1
