Yeah broken web programming! They don't do any IP checks (or even cookie checks it looks like) so a simple refresh after voting is all that is needed to up your vote :D

Like I said, It is a broken polling script. It is as easy as F5 and enter, About 100 times. So I got my 100 votes in :D :p If you have already voted, Its ok, just go back to the website after you close your tab and vote again, Then you to can DoS Attack, Err I mean, Vote multiple times. That will teach them to allow multiple votes from one IP address. :D

yeah, the polling is broken, which makes me worried, because suppose they record IPs and realize more than one IP has voted?

Well, at worst, they'll realize someone put a good deal of time and effort into supporting this book. :p :D

EDIT: Oh shit, looks like Balkans is making a comeback, it's coming back from 9% to 13%. Oh well, I guess that makes it more realistic. And the poll just opened the 2nd, so I guess that's alright.

Down to 76%... they're catching on! Either that or someone wrote a counter-bot to vote for:

The Balkan Wars 1912-1913 (MAA)

Well, that's very cute, but you should never judge a book by its cover. :D

I know seriously: Anandtech versus assholes who are voting for a book about one of the most useless wars fought about the most useless people. No offense to anyone whose from the balkans.

Thanks guys, it seems someone desperately wants the Balkan Wars, but he doesn't realize its him vs. a forum of 5,000 people. :D

Although it seems only around ~200 people have voted. The situation seems to be under control, but keep the votes flowing in.
