I can't figure out what the purpose of this site is.

It's to play the Ernie Ball Stage at Warped Tour. My Band Played in 2002 when your music was listened to by Judges and you were chosen to play (there were only like 3000 entrants back then). Now there's probably 20,000+ so rather than a "talent" contest it is a popularity contest. Who can get the most votes. It was cool to get into warped for free, but we ended up playing at 11:30 or so, and gates opened at 11:00 so 90% of our friends who were coming to see us were still in line waiting to get in. I'm sure it's changed a bunch in 8 years, but it's turned into another one of those "who has the most friends/who's the most desperate to clear their cookies and vote over and over and over and over and over" competitions.
That was when it was at Lasalle Park too, so much better than Darien.

thats what i thought but look at the votes. On a band's profile click "activity" 75% of the votes are from bands to other bands. Another 15% are clearly fake accounts with sequential screen names. And i don't think the votes played a large roll in the decision last year.
(I'm not saying any band that played didn't deserve to. The lineup was all talented and clearly popular bands)
I think it might be a hype thing but idk
