I have and i hope more will follow. Not that it will change the out come or would i want it to now, the whole thing as become cheap and dirty.

I couldn't agree more. Lets be honest in my mind i put it between 3 bands in both the Cardiff and the Bristol section of the competition. But not only did these bands not get a look in, none of the other bands that was closest to them got a look in either what a scam. At the end of the day every band wants to win and good luck to them. But this is a complet sham. Indiestore as made the whole thing feel dirty. As for ansewers there is none. I checked the votes last night for both Cardiff and Bristol before going to bed. And the only way the finalists got the votes they did get within the space of a few hours was for someone from Indiestore to put them there it's as simple as that. People are not stupid, and i think in the long run as many are saying this may backfire on you in the long run. As for me i can tell you now, you've lost custom thats for sure. re-Mike says.

My Fave band had one of the highest number of votes throughout the entire competition all scoring very highly with many many comemnts from their numerous fans. Your finalists don't appear to have any fans at all !!!!!!!!!! How covenient it was for you to have a Maintenance issue the day the finalists were due to be announced and why did it take you another 3 days to actually get around to announcing the finalists ???????? You weren't vote rigging by any chance were you !! Come on Indiestore you have a lot of very very angry people on here demanding answers and if you won't give them voluntarily then i believe it will come down to another body getting to the bottom of this because quite frankly this whole thing stinks and there is no way the people on here are going to allow you to get away with this !

I always thought Inidestore was a good thing until now. Can't really put into words how i feel. I suppose disgust is a good as word as any. Indiestore you disgust me and you'll never get another penny out of me! And i hope as someone said earlier this comes back to haunt you, i really do. i agree with G and many others.
