Jam Cruise For Christ\'s Sake

I think word may have gotten back to them that people are getting pissed at the messages. I got another today, this being the first time that had this at the end:

To remove reply "stop"

Me too. Noticed that today with my Wailers discount message.

still gonna cost you whatever it costs for 2 text messages. 3 if they send you a confirmation after that..

pennies, i know, but it should be ZERO.

I got the same frickin\' message as well. I guess my email to them about removing me was met with tons of others. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Your laughing at yourself, loser, you suck so much that even Relix doesn\'t want to waste their time with you.

[peaches626]

I used to think you were funny.

I used to think you were funny.

you are the one who stated you were unpopular, I am just confirming the fact that even Relix doesn\'t like you. zeits se hwee! that is all.

The annoying texts aren\'t even the #1 issue for me.  (Though I NEVER send texts to any of those 5-digit promo numbers.  You might as well call 1-900 numbers.)  

The real thing for me is that I have no reason to believe any of these polls mean anything.  We\'ve been doing these for 5 years and it\'s never resulted in anything.  Not even back in the day when Jambase and Bonnaroo weren\'t set up to stop you from voting repeatedly and Pec\'s bots were voting thousands of times per hour and had PB way out in front.  (Great times, BTW. rotfl )  Call me jaded, but has any festival that does these polls ever said, "We\'re taking the band that gets the most votes, no questions, and the live scores are posted right here for you to track."  Of course they haven\'t.  I think at best, the honest promoters use the poll as one of many tools in deciding who to pick.  The shadier promoters will just post it to get hits on their website and to keep their fest in the front of the consumer\'s mind, then they\'ll just book whoever they want.  And there\'s really nothing wrong with that, they never promised to look at the results.  The super shady promoters will use the poll to send you stupid text messages and rack up your cell bill w/o even telling you.  (And believe you me, they get a nice cut of those extra text fees.)  So really, in the best and rarest case, these polls will be a small factor for some promoter in deciding who to book.  

I\'ve held off on this post for years because I like how some fans get rallied up to vote for The Breakfast and I don\'t want to bum them out.  But now that it\'s reached the point where these things actually do harm to the fans while still not helping the band, it\'s time to put the smack down.

Aww, come on, Wolf.  Any vote will get some sort of recognition, especially if Relix is advertising a competition between just those ten bands.  The Breakfast, Outformation, Dubconscious, Boombox, Pnuma Trio, Scarecrow Collection, U-Melt, RAQ, The Bridge, & DJ Williams Projekt are up for the count.  The best competition (musically speaking, of course) would be DJ Williams, The Bridge, RAQ, and SCC.  The Bridge is in the lead, and the Breakfast is in 8th place right now.  If you want to change this, start voting.  Each band has the same chance of winning a spot on jamcruise, and the boat is currently sold out.  Instead of complaining about the band not doing well & not being recognized, do your part!  it only costs the price of a text message, and worst case scenario, you\'re out a nickel for a text.  Just reply "stop" when you get a text from Relix, and all will be fine.
