Website #1 MUSIC FORTE

[Krysis]

This is where I used to work at! I went there today and saw some things that disturbed me on a personal level. First off, this guy took advantage of my work and never paid me, now he advertises a $500,000 dollar prize for an "idol" competition. First... Really original, there Percifield! Guy has not one original thought in his brain!

This IS personal! I am perplexed at why a guy who somehow came up with a prize that large cannot pay someone who worked for him for 5 months straight, 10 to 16 hours a day, a paltry 5 grand! So, yup, I'm upset! Something isn't right, I will find out what it is. Believe that.

This one is gonna be hard. My anger might get the best of me here, staying objective will be close to impossible.


First we sign up. I use the name pyroflash. I can't signed up. I tried a dozen times. People said it was hard to sign when I worked there. Should be easy. Oh. well half million bucks at stake, I'll try to tomorrow. Many people probably say screw it. I have a secret weapon in case I have been blocked, I haven't though. You can't block me from ANY site.[/size]











Hell, all this hassle and I didn't even get signed up. Cute. I'll try again tommorrow

Wow!! This stuff is SHOCKING! Here I (and I am sure many others) has thought that these guys were out to HELP US!
Now, I have wondered about this whole "BIG- GIANT CONTEST" that they have- and being that I still have a membership with these guys, I wondered where the half million bucks was coming from considering they NEVER seemed to have much money before!
The "half million dollar" payout- ok.. it SAYS $500,000 on my webpage and all over the place at Forte'- BUT I have seen the fine print- which in some places mentions the grand prize to be $200,000.. STILL a good payout..but where's the MISSING 3 HUNDRED GRAND??
Now, in other spots on their webpage (please go look for yourself, I apologize that I don't have time to go search down exactly WHERE and paste it here) in other spots it says that the WINNER of this "Idol" contest will NOT GET 5-HUNDRED THOU- NOR WILL HE/SHE GET 2-HUNDRED THOU- but rather will get a PERCENTAGE of whatever is "in the kitty"- similar to a lottery.
THIS MEANS THAT THE 500 THOUSAND IS NOT REAL- IT IS AN ADVERTISING PLOY.. OR - (IN SO MANY WORDS) A SCAM OR A LIE- what else would you call something that says in big bold print - 500 HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS- AND THEN SOMEWEHERE IN THE FINE PRINT SAYS OTHERWISE..HMMM.. CAUSES ONE TO THINK! Now, considering that people are supposed to pay $1.00 and get credits to use for voting- this means that a PORTION of that dollar spent actually becomes the payout amount. Now, considering that you can get 10 votes-per buck..this means that you could win this thing with say 500 votes and you would get a PORTION of 50 BUCKS. To add insult to injury, this site is almost ENTIRELY MUSICIANS- NOT FANS.. what does this mean? Well, since this site pays "Forte' Bucks" for blabbing in their forums (which- is a superb idea) and you can trade these bucks in for stuff (another great idea- Krysis- you thought this up didn't you?) this means that probably 99% of the folks at this site are trading in their "fake money" for voting priviledges..THIS MEANS THERE IS NO ACTUAL MONEY THAT HAS BEEN PAID IN YET! So.. this contest has run for a couple of months..nobody has advanced anywhere.. ( I know..I have 16 votes- been that way for all this time- yet I'm number one on the metal charts) IN THESE TWO MONTHS THE ACTUAL MONIES PAID IN HAS BEEN ZIP- OR SLIGHTLY OVER ZIP BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS TRADING IN THEIR "FORTE' BUCKS".. since I cannot find anything that says the exact date that they will stop this contest, I assume they could stop it at any point in 2007 (they said it would at least stretch into 2007,) take a look at how much money they have (or do NOT have) and award the winner a portion of the money (and how do we know how much money they ACTUALLY have?? Do we just take their word for it?)
So.. for your hard work and effort- you have gotten NO promotion from these guys.. you PAID IN MONEY.. and again..nothing to show for it.. you've voted and have votes.. you haven't sold a thing and you won enough for one or two happy meals.. YEE HAA!! Once again- look at the fine print..not the big blinking button that says half a mil. Peace out- Soundbarrier.

Actually, you are a little ahead of me, but uh, huh. It's another Percifield smoke and mirrors gag. I have more, and I am not even signed up yet! I appreciate your input too G. Keep it coming.
