armin van buuren caught cheating in bpm's top 50

taken from guboard:

I just overheard an amazing story when I was in at bpm magazine with my friend. do you remember the big top 50 djs poll that they were doing? well - the bpm editor got a phone call from armin van buurens manager. he said that armin van buuren had totally spammed their voting with tons of fake votes for himself. I guess armin didn�t realize that the votes had to be validated or something and his manager was freaking out that bpm would catch him out and expose him in their magazine or something.

i cant beleive how lame it was of armin to cheat so badly and how embarrassing to get caught.

it makes you wonder how he got to be number 5 in the DJ magazine top 100 doesn�t it?

One thing that strikes me the most is that my fans and the trance genre in general. Such as Trance.nu and Tranceaddict.com...the are nice people in general. Where as you go over to the GlobalUnderground website....Those guys....
They are all slapping you in the face. Its unbelievable!!

You can't seriously believe that post. Like Armin's manager would call them. I think this message was posted because of the interview Armin had with trance.nu plus they don't seem to like him at all.

What does it matter if someone overheard something?

Why not check out if that actually is true first...

i dont believe it

Its funny how they are assuming his #5 spot in DJ MAG to be fake as well, considering the enormous response on this board at how he should have been #1. What I'm trying to say is, even if he did do it, which I seriously doubt coming from the GUBoard, I guarantee his votes were nothing comparable to what he received just off of members and fans of this board.

peace,

Steve

LOL!

Still, it's probably a hoax...

Well, then Tiesto must've REALLY stuffed the ballot box if he beat out Armin by 4 places...

Posted by P`zazz on Mar-10-2003 19:04:

lolz man don't be so naeve (sp?)

this probably aint true, just some a hole thinking he's smart and being snobish towards trance

Posted by SanduTje on Mar-10-2003 19:07:

Buwhwahahahahaahahah!!!!

I think it's all a crock of shit. Besides, most of GU fans diss Armin/PvD and the like. I don't trust any of that BS. Besides, Armin is the man and I highly doubt he would waste his time on boolshiit like tilting ballots his way. Now, Bush on the other hand....

BULLSHIT

Posted by P`zazz on Mar-10-2003 19:37:

Posted by Muff2K on Mar-10-2003 19:39:

bullshit. i want proof.

Posted by trancEyes22 on Mar-10-2003 19:45:

yeah i def don't believe that...armins not all caught up with being the best, he's in it for the music

Posted by robstar on Mar-10-2003 19:50:

HaHa! yEah right!!

Posted by Konijn on Mar-10-2003 20:17:

The fact that Armin is a lawyer could explain the shady behavior

Seriously, though, i can't believe there's any truth to this rumor--even if it did happen it was most likely an overzealous fan thinking he was doing Armin a favor

hard to believe
