She's winning now :)

Whoa. When I voted, which was like 15 minutes ago, she only had 411votes.

LMFAO! WTF?!?!?! She has over 3,000 votes now!

I wonder how they're going to deal with this... LOL

EDIT: LMAO! She's getting like 5 votes/second.

wtf? I was watching Kelli's tally go up faster than the price on the gas pumps... and suddenly, it was:
Heather 24
Josh 165
Kelli 369

What's going on? She was in the thousands.....

They figured it out. :p

Probably limited the voting to 1 per IP instead of cookie based.

LOL!

Watch it, it's jumping around all over the place! hahaha....

That's amusing.

Must be a pretty n00b webmaster.

Hey, now it's at 67 and staying steady. There were more votes than that before someone started the scripting!

Bastards.

You morons. You killed it. :p

They need to invest in a better voting script, though. The problems they encountered are quite easily solvable.
