I also think MalwareTips is a great site to be at.

If you'd like to promote MusicBee then this site is (imho) a much better option:
http://alternativeto.net/software/musicbee/

AlternativeTo is one of the regular sites I visit and have given my "Love" to it.

I am sure that's nice, and that the intention are well-meant and to be taken as a big compliment, but am I the only one who feels it awkward to have MusicBee in the top 10 of a malware tips website?

I would find it weird if it were a body building forum.    but this seems to be in the equivalent of our beyond MusicBee board.

Best Free Software competition is simply a thread started at MalwareTips in the Software Discussions forum. Infact it's a thread started by me, and I specifically listed that no anti-malware/virus are to be mentioned, because there had been a separate poll for that and there would a bias for choosing security software's because it's specifically a site meant for it.

Users were asked to nominate their softwares to be included in the poll and out of 160 votes for nearly 70 softwares , 10 of the most nominated products had been selected: https://malwaretips.com/threads/best-free-software-nomination-thread.58191/

And then asked to vote in the poll: https://malwaretips.com/threads/best-free-software-2016-poll.58454/

The community out there is great, and is the one of the best structured, effective and addictive forums that I've seen out there.

Ok, nice. You convinced me, I'll vote too.

edit,
Do I understand correctly you have to post a message with your vote? You cannot just click somewhere?
(lazy me speaking here ;-)

@jackuars- three of the four preceding replies are from you.  And all three say the exact same thing.  Please don't repeat post.  Thanks.

Not sure what happened there. Probably the network connectivity. I have deleted them.

You can vote without posting a message too. MT (MalwareTips) members has tried to be more effective, when choosing products and leaving a note, so that it will convince other's why that particular product is good.

Also it's the 12,000th most visited website in the world.

I have now changed the settings in the thread so that, users can see the current results of the voting even before voting in the poll.  Sadly MB is last.
