RULE UPDATE: In order to prevent the obvious cheating that was happening (even after we pointed out the suspicious activity) we have implemented the following qualification for voting: In order to vote you must be a registered member for a minimum of 8 days.

Sorry for the short notice, but all the newly created "fake" accounts with duplicate IPs and throwaway email addresses were complete BS. We considered making a minimum post count of 5 before you can vote, but after we mentioned that, we saw several of the suspicious accounts make 5 quick one-line posts and then quit. This still undermined our goal of having our loyal and active forum members decide the outcome of this contest. So, in order to prevent any more cheating, we set the registration days to minimum of 8. We know this will exclude a handful of legitimate forum members from voting, and we apologize in advance. It's really too bad a cheater had to spoil it for you guys.

Also, we reset the vote count to zero for everyone.

And to the cheater, who will undoubtedly want to complain, try our complaint department.

That was the best idea to make it so only people who have been members for a certain amount of time could vote....classy post by the skinny boy

Skinny but could beat your *** boy

Alrighty,

We don't mind a good conversation between users, but once you start threatening other people it's a trip to time out.

Good that guy didn't need to be on here anyway....Gomer you going to be at the tripsmarter party again?

I would imagine so. We might get Steve to go and actually webcast it like the year before.
