It's time for the 2011 dubstep awards! All you people eligible to vote get over there to make your opinion known. Chronos Records are up for best new label!!! Make your vote count. Who should win each category?
I think it's pretty out of line and straight up irresponsible of the page admin to be blatently plugging one label?

I know it is someone's page, but it's become so large that it's not on to just post what he likes, he needs to represent the entire genre.

Posting a link to the awards would have been the better thing to do.

The page has reach to almost 500,000 people who they've groomed into the sound they want to promote. I really wish the people running it weren't the people running it.

They represent their friends (Chronos) 24/7, probably just as much as we would rep our friends if it was our page.

They also removed my admin :\

Just had a look, the comments are atrocious in general. You get people with dubwub in their name trying to talk down on people about whats a good track.

Widowmaker you are fighting a losing battle unfortunately.

The admins have so much power (for want of a better word) and all they can say about the awards is vote chronos?!

There is no hope.

first thing i posted when i saw that was why are you being clearly biased

i dont see how dubstepforum tells anyone to vote for anything ash

sure the members have their own views but this is the equivalent of dubway telling people to vote dmz

that page seems designed to make everyone like one particular style and shift them away from the deeper end of the spectrum

the damage its doing to young ears and minds shouldnt be underestimated...get darker has a mixture of styles and u know darkside wants to educate as much as sometimes give the kids some hype......the 'dubstep' page is a disgrace and i should just leave it but i feel the need to stand up on there a lot

i cant recall exactly what they deleted of mine...i know there were 3 more comments in total in there just by the number....i think i said in response to someone saying 'because chronos are fucking sick' in response to me saying why is the page biased i said 'i think every label on that list has someone that thinks its fucking sick' pretty sure its been deleted

lol

If internet fans are what you're looking for out of music it's not an unachievable task if you put effort towards it.

However, its my personal belief not to be too upset by a record label who has more facebook friends than people who actually support their tunes.

Influence over what though? The kids posting comments on those pages dont' buy records or anything. No one on chronos is really massive.
