The Official T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Ballot and Future Complaint Desk for the Powerless.

Morning Folks!!


Why and how can people complain about things that they themselves are 100% in control of? I just don’t get it. I never have. Human nature. Some are just wired that way unless and until they step back and take a look. Invariably each year folks complain about who is nominated when they have the POWER to nominate anyone they like. They have the power, don’t use it and then complain about it.


Now nobody is forcing anyone to nominate anyone else. That is your choice and I support your choice 100%. This is directed to those that complain each year. Nominations don’t come from Howard and myself. They come from the folks in the domain industry and we just publish them and Howard tabulates the votes. That’s all we do. Then we present the awards at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.


So I always like being on the record for the record when those folks come out of the woodwork and complain in October. There is no 'Old Boys Club'. There are only doers that participate and talkers that complain. I can then point them to this post along with others and they will still get mad at me. lol Perhaps a bit misdirected?


Nominations are being accepted until COB tomorrow, Wednesday, July 25th. Last year we had a record amount of votes and we anticipate breaking that record this year.
