Anyway... In your previous messages, your sentences didn't begin with capital letters, which is a major reason for disqualification.

Even better: I replied to Phade to explain that I wouldn't have any internet access for some days because I was moving from France to the USA, and that I wouldn't be able to fix missing data before some days. He said fine. I was disqualified. Cool.
*is in pissed off mode for other reasons... which doesn't happen often*
first off. according to phade and the rules..
3. Thou shalt not use downloaded music to make AMVs.
if you bough the music you should know who it is. why put unknown if you knew where the song came from? at least listing where the song came from is 100000 times better then saying "I know but i choose to tell people i don't". that's your fualt. why should phade go out of his way to fix all your data (when you can do it yourself), or let you have "extra time". it's not fair for the other creators.
Second, this is for the other people with non-anime videos... this is animemusicvideos.org not nonanimemusicvideos.org. phade has been trying to weed out these nonanime videos for a long time (or so it seems to me.) but he has been nice and letting us add them to the catalog (again, thats what it seems to me.). this site is supposed to be a catalog of anime music videos, so the number of non anime videos is tainting it. There are a lot of videos that i feel should be in the VCAs but the creator chose not to take down their non amvs, which is fine,m that's their choice. but don't complain about it.
Third, this DQ contest is a joke! all your doing is saying to phade "well since we can't be in the VCAs, we'll have our own contest and make it better cuase we can actually participate now" and what makes it even worse... only dq'd members can vote? LOL funniest pile of crap i've ever heard. that's really gona say much when your video wins becuase the voters are mostly newbs who watch pokemon and DBZ and make harrypotter videos (sorry that's a stereotype about newbs... i'm trying to make a point tho, so take no offence pls).
Last but not least, its a fucking contest for god's sake!! contests try to weed out as much as possible so the voters and choose more wisely from the remaing contestants. if i sent my video to AWA this year and was rejected and went off to make my own "Reject AMV Contest" at the convention... i'd look like a dumbass and a really poor sport.
stop being poor sports and go vote for the best videos, or don't, that's your choice. comapling about it does NOTHING. the rules are fair for everyone and help promote the purpose of this website. you win, you lose, that's life. get over it.
