But the point is that a flash with just B in it was saved several times. I find that extremly sad.
And that had *nothing* to do with the Clock Crew. I'd be very surprised if any Clock Crew member voted to protect any of the "B" rip-offs.
I understand that you think "B" was crap and shouldn't have been passed. You've missed the whole point, though. The original "B" was posted five years ago. It was surely posted as a joke, but that joke happened to kick off a group of Flash artists who made much better flash based on Clock characters. Clock Day isn't about re-making "B"; it's about making good flash featuring Clocks. It's not the Crew's fault that so many remakes passed, I promise you.
As for the BP whores, it's amazing to me that people don't instead use the opportunity to rack up *blam* points for the one-framer flashes. I got plenty of BP points that day, but I still voted to blam the "B" rip-offs. Sadly, many of them passed anyway -- but only barely. We could have all had blam points instead, had people done the right thing.
Points or no points, I don't mind less-than-stellar flash passing on Clock Day, but I like seeing at least *some* effort behind any flash that's posted to the portal. It really doesn't take that much to spend a little time on a movie. There's no pride in getting garbage passed, no matter what day of the year it is, and I think it's sad that so many people exploited Clock Day as an opportunity to do exactly that.
But that's STILL not the fault of the Clocks.
