about charts                       iopop
----------------------------------------

hi! and you loaded this chapther too.
here i will write down some things that
i have thought about the latest weeks.
(months) and as you see it will be about
charts.

 charts! why the hell do we have charts.
i think that the dude that made that
first charts on the c64 must have been
clever. we don't get any payment for
our work on this computer than the
charts can be the PAYMENT. i bet that
you also get the special feeling of
happyness when you read your handle,
group name, mag or whatever it's in the
CHARTS of a mag.

over to the things that i been wondering
about. it's mainly about swappercharts.

                --------

imagine that you are in TWO groups
(which some dudes don't need to do,as
it's alot of people which are.)
and you vote on one of them. is this
fair??

short answer: NO!!

first of all i must say that i can't
understand why be in TWO or more groups.
if you are in a gfx or musicgroup then
i understand it but not in real groups.
well, back to the subject. i saw some
people that have done this on the vote-
sheet and i did one thing. i just
skipped that line when i counted it.
so please DON'T vote for your second
group!

                --------

another thing that i noticed is that
some people vote for OLD guys like rcs,
baze, aslive and a lot of other people
that i don't think that they are
swapping with. it's namely new sceners
that are doing this. so if you don't
have much contacts then you don't need
to fill up the vote sheet with old dudes
just to have voted 10 guys.

                --------

a thing that have come more and more in
the mags is to remove UNACTIVE group and
sceners. and this is wrong! think if the
mag will be start to be released again.
or the demo group will make a new demo.
the swapper starts to send out again.
for example we in jam haven't releaesed
a demo since CHRISTMAS why not scratch
us from the charts? my advice to the
mags that are removing other groups etc.
write some facts about the group that
you don't like to be in the charts and
tell the readers when that special group
make the latest release. and so on.

                --------

why include your own groups positions
in the charts?? this thing is also a
thing i just can't understand. do you
really know that everybody understand
that they can vote for you in your mag.
this will effect that your position in
your mag will be on a lower place than
in ussuall mags. and the charts will be
uncorrect!!! well, jamaica had a good
place in this mag if i not removed it's
position!

                --------

     is charts the most of our lifes
   do you die if your mag is at place
         10 or lower in the mags
   your group at place 40 as demogroup
     and you at place 99 as swapper
            you will not die
                test it!!

              nuff said!!!
