and started being about achieving para-celebrity status?  I am confused because I THOUGHT that we were here to help people and to study the paranormal. 
 
What used to be searching for answers has now become searching for websites that will get me on TV or make me the next para-celebrity.
 
Of all the things that I have seen happen in the paranormal community this, for me, is one of the most embarrassing and it is not doing anything to advance the study of the paranormal in any way shape or form.
 
There is one website out there where many are lobbying for votes in hopes to be on the next paranormal reality show.  I have received many Myspace messages and even emails asking for me to vote for them on this site but all it was, was a vote for me request.  I do not personally know those who are sending the vote for me requests and the requests come with no explanation as to why I should vote for them, no information on what they have contributed to the study of the paranormal or why they would make the best person to represent all the females in the paranormal community. 
 
For those who want “Paranormal Fame” then I have a tip for you.  If you want to be well known in the paranormal community then you need to do something that shows you are a valuable asset to the community.

This is absolutely vital. The broad assumptions that green teams are thinking they can be the next para reality show, is asinine. Do something. Do something in your community. Give a little of yourself, and it will come back ten fold.

Kris, I've been getting these requests as well. Seems silly to me. If any of us is to become "famous" then it will come with experience, respect and contribution, not by random and anonymous voting. I'd rather be respected by my peers than those Nielson familes....

Unfortunately that's a by-product of the reality shows that all over TV anymore and not just the paranormal ones.


I'm afraid that most these people are being chosen for their appearance/personality instead of their

experience. I hope that's not the case, but that's what I am seeing.

My whole problem with the vote requests is that no one is telling me why I should vote for them. I am not saying that all the people who are doing this are bad people but I want to know why I should vote for you. I care about what you know not who you know, or what you look like. Without any information about why you should be on the show it is nothing but a popularity contest and even if you have the most votes you are not guaranteed a position on the show (it even states this on the site).

Hey Tonya,

Yeah I know that Divas were on there to prove a point and you ladies did not spam me asking me to vote.

Its a show I would never want to work in that environment, yet to see all those places would have you stoked. Still it would be harrowing work putting up with the 4th wall lights, breaks, action, cut and all that, its not reality. No, I'll stay where I am unless I fall into my own show giving a scientific reasoning to show it is real. We all know it is but we are pronouncing that it is 100% without showing credibility. Thus giving haters and skeptics more fuel.


Not to be mean but A.P.A.R.T. no one has developed or given an hypothesis of 100% true spirit communication. Yes we can present evidence as though it is such still it all falls short everyone of us knows or should realize that. So in reality its just abilities x effort + the ears your pitch happens to fall on and there abilities in the production community. The fame should not be time in the community but rather the what you give that can hold its own under scientific logic.
