NME awards Feb. 17

02:19 AM

In order to win these online voting awards the site has to really push itself onto its visitors which is not something I really like doing. The other sites - Libertines, Muse and U2 all have prominent links to the voting page on their main pages or boards. I should learn to promote, I certainly think the site deserves to win. Realistically though, the U2 site gets more visitors in one day than this site does in 2 months. If the competition were just Muse and The Libertines then there would be a chance. I'm not counting the NME site as that would make no sense if it won.

I appreciate the comments that people left after the nomination came out. Just like it was when it first started (8 years ago on Feb. 12), the people that visit and contribute to the site make the site what it is. I know the other sites can't say the same thing, there isn't anything that special about them apart from the flashy design. I am surprised at the nomination though, that is cool on NME's part to include it.

  • As you rightly say David, this site will probably not win the Award.
    Your personal victory lies solely within the actual nomination.
    The simple fact that you have received recognition for your great work is enough.

    Your continued efforts with this site are greatly appreciated.

    Mick.

  • First of all, apart from a handful of votes from the smattering of social inadequates and mental defectives who actually visit this site, any votes cast for morrissey-solo.com will come from people who admire Morrissey and respect him as an artist, and it will be him they are voting for, not you, got that?
    Let's face it, this is not an official Morrissey site, and the man himself detests you personally and would like to see this cess pit of unfounded rumours and outright lies shut down for good.
    The nonsensical idea propogated on this site by the small number of delusional half-wits who visit regularly, that this website, and you personally, are somehow responsible for saving Morrissey's career by keeping his memory alive during the lean years is as laughable as it is risible, and quite frankly is insulting to Morrissey and his musicians whose work alone has resulted in the fabulous success he has recently enjoyed.
    The only creditable thing this site has acheived is to keep the few dozen retards who post here regularly away from the real people in the real world who have lives, and are not stuck in their foul smelling bedrooms arguing with or insulting strangers on the internet.
    I've long suspected you of having idea's above your station David, and unfortunately this nomination may further fuel your rampant ego, but, don't ever forget, outside of the few oddballs that 'virtually' live here, this site doesn't mean shit to anyone.

  • Thank you for everything, David T - it doesn't matter whether this site wins or it doesn't: to have been nominated is a massive achievement alone, and this site will continue to mean more to those who visit it than the Muse website etc. does to those who visit it - just as Morrissey does.

  • The first thing I learned about crime fighting as a child, is that the offender quite often returns to the scene of the crime as the police arrive, just for the thrill of it all.
    The 'person' who wrote in this journal about 'social inadequates and mental defectives' using this site, has 'replied to him/her self' on the discussion boards.
    David informs us it was Avenging Angel.
    It seems that he/she would make a good mental DETECTIVE.

      "avenging angel" is actually a mental DEFECTIVE.

      but i can understand the bitterness they are feeling. after all, their years of attempting to bring this website down and harassment of the webmaster have done absolutely nothing to diminish this site's credentials amongst people who know better.

  • Don't let the turkeys get you down. You have created and maintained one of the best fan sites on the net and you are being recognized for this FACT. These hostile, anonymous posters are JEALOUS and this is why they are seething with anger.

    This nomination is something to be proud of. Don't let a few loud mouths spoil your moment.

  • you are really disgusting. i do have to agree with the previous comments which are in defense of davidt., you are a damned hypocrite. if you hate this site so much then "why do you come here"? you are the one without a life outside of this site OTHERWISE how would you know so much about this website in order to put it down and those who visit it?! pot calling the kettle black, eh?

    and your foul and racist language shows you to be quite ignorant too. i'm sure if you were like this in real life someone would have busted a cap in your arse, so you come here instead and bully those who enjoy this site. you are simply a wanker and jealous of davidt. and you know what? the more you rant and rave with such ignorant comments, the more we agree just how great davidt's site really is - LOL, because it gets RIGHT UP YOUR NOSE.

    so keep it up, your bitterness reflects jealousy and hypocrisy; we KNOW you don't have anything better to do, hahahahahaha!

  • as long as there are angry, little, bullied at school but seeking revenge, anally retentive, microdicks like you around, we must stop at nothing in our quest to irritate the the hell out of you. All of your anger is leading somewhere, and you know it. Do the decent thing. Please.
    We will never stop. Nevaaaahhhh!
