In saying that Awards 98 is not a popularity contest, Dangermouse was absolutely right.

Lotek is winning the races for best group of 1998. Does anybody have any idea where this came from? I'm an avid scenester, and I try to keep track of all of the groups out there, but this one is new to me. A high-resolution group perhaps?

Or is it a farce. =)

Lotek is a group of individuals that do a wide range of things in the computer underground. However, none of those things really pertain much to the art scene. :)

It's my opinion that they are a smidge out of place in the groups category on the Awards'98 list.

BTW, Lotek's web address it http://www.lotek.org, pretty cool.

Yeah, I saw the URL on the "best web page" nominees list.

You're absolutely right in saying that it's out of place. It doesn't really seem like it's an "art group", and even if it is, it's not THIS kind of "art group".

The web page IS cool, though. Still, I don't think it should be in there for best group.

Besides, Ice is clearly the best group.

Look, you guys had ample time to say that Lotek should not be on the nominee list, in fact, two months to do it..

I cannot muck around with the data files now, so tough luck. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about bar restarting the entire voting booth.. (Which will not happen)

I've never heard of lotek.. so how could it be winning, unless someone voted for them like 50 million times.. thats just stupid though
