TO be honest, I had some doubts that TI-Boy SE would win easily, or win at all. As good as it is, the world is filled with people without experience on something in particular. Example: a lot of new TI users probably downloaded TI-Boy SE on their faulty TI-84+ (the newer ones with less accessible RAM) and when they saw it didn't work, they blamed the author, thus, rated the program 1 star and voted for something else. There are also people who prefer to vote for finished programs, no matter how much an achievement something might be. This is why TI-Boy SE has such low rating on ticalc.org. In addition to that, Calc84maniac had multiple featured programs, meaning votes for him are spread accross all his poll entries, reducing his chances to win. Finally I guess people opted for TI-Boy SE anyway.

Congrats calc84!  It's amazing (though not unexpected ;)) that votes for you were split between the top two programs and you still won (between them, over 50% of all votes were for you).

lol

there were actually references to this before in the community (ppl misreading POTY as POTTY)


and long before Ticalc had POTY, they had POTM, which got them sued by playboy (j/k)

http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/1/14/14996.html

I think it was one of their first fake news ever, the first being about their 3rd design

Congrats to all the winners and authors that were featured. Metroid and TI Boy are some amazing programs -- well deserved wins.

I was happy to see Advanced Dungeons & Dragons get 8 votes in light of the competition.

Happy New Year to all. And keep up the great work guys!
