I dunno, #4 seems rather naive to think that him posting the poll on a forum of his "buddies" wouldn't leak to the internet. Obviously he had not control over the freebies that were being given away.

Not to bump this back up again but I want to set the record straight about the #4 dad. I don't think he had ANYTHING to do with what happened at the other forums whichever ones they were. I only know about the LF at this point. Anyway, he is a VERY good man and has had some VERY bad luck in his life. I did really want to see my friend win but I didn't want to start a voting war between forums to get it done, I hope that everyone who voted from here actually read the letters and based your decision on that. I would be nieve to think that happened 100% of the time but I can hope that most did actually read them. It was a GREAT contest and GREAT race up until last night when other forums got involved and the #4 parent didn't have anything to do with that other then posting it at an ATV forum he frequents for a group of people to know what was going on, from then on where the info went was out of his control and the friend of a friend effect took place. Anyway, LF is starting a fund for him to go ahead and get his bike pimped, I am actually going to do what I can even if it is just with parts that I don't need that his kid could use. If my friends son wouldn't have been able to win that boy is who I would have chosen myself, followed by #2 as that mom really cares about her kids racing and she is doing it on her own with some help from his grandpa. See I know a little about their lives and consider them friends, they are good people and maybe the people at LF are too, they had their hearts in the right place, I just really had a problem with the process they used to motivate their members. Either way it is in the past now and I hope LF can raise enough money to get #4 pimped to the max!

The #4 dad does seem like a very nice guy. I can't blame him for anything. I'm glad to see people are contributing to a runner's up fund.

As am I. Hopefully, it will happen for both of them. I still object to what LF's did, but I am really glad to see that they are contributing, and mabye some good can come out of this for everyone!

Good job everybody. I fell asleep with my Calculus book in hand before the deadline was up, but I felt sure we'd come through. Looks like it got close toward the end, though. :thumbsup:

Eh, who cares what the #4 dad says? He started the whole thing by posting the contest on another board. In all fairness, djohn did the same for an even playing field. Congrats djohn.

That was sort of exhausting, every time #7 came within a few votes #4 always seemed to add at least one more. I'm glad that #4 will also receive a pimped-out bike, but it's even better to see that the ATOT effect is still alive and well; Congrats djohn and GJ to everyone that made it happen!

just got into work and had to check on what happened. good to see the AT effect is still alive and kicking.

i'm glad the kid got the bike, hopefully it wont resort to this in the future.

Heh, that happens to me all the time...

Congrats on the AT Effect people, even if it isn't as strong as it used to be (circa 2000-2001 when I first started frequenting these forums, not posting though)
