Also note I was not trying to diss dispyz's work.

I personally thought the whole idea was pretty fucking stupid, don't get the wrong idea.

Really? It's because he didn't want to spend money on a plane ticket? Really? ... This gets filed under who cares. His thing, his rules.

ON another note, we all know internet voting turns into a popularity contest and doesn't necessarily reflect quality work.

Well, I guess it depends on what you would like evidence for. Clearly it was never proven that they didn't want to pay for a flight but the odds are stacked against them when the winner is an LA resident and this: http://twitter.com/trent_reznor/status/25833041551 is posted the day after the deadline. No bitterness whatsoever but that winning tune was complete crap. Personally, I feel that the runner-up should have won if there had to be a winner of the two. Evidence for non-flight winners (LA area) is in the terms and conditions. 

The real kicker here is that the ratings were ignored because of all the "down-voting", and because Ty was #1 rated for three days in a row people thought he was the "down-voter." My inbox was full of "hey fuck you asshole" and "I'm reporting you" along with a few "I'm down-voting you for down-voting my track", but the fact of the matter is that if you click on the RG avatar and look at "highest-ranked" you'll see that the ONLY track Ty voted on was his own (who wouldn't vote on their own tune?).

Anyway, Ty has recently been dethroned and stands at the 4th highest ranked. Oddly enough, the vote slider is automatically set at "1."

Do you have a link to this evidence?

I hate stupid crap like this.

True story: dispyz was (is) in first place in the remix competition Trent just had. Unfortunately for Ty, Trent decided that the ratings didn't count on the last day of judging and instead picked a random shit tune. The winner was based in Cali so Trent wouldn't have to front money for a plane ticket.

Wait so i cant think a dude is lame if he's famous?

fixed

And I stand with T80, pretty hate machine is still the best of Trent. I love NIN and I'm digging HTDA, but...

He used chip sounds in Ghosts I-IV. And in year zero sampled Nintendo sounds (look at the liner notes). He's one of my biggest influences.

The sky hath fallen.

There is no escape. Only death.

We've been saying this for months, not news.
