How come anandtech votes are decreasing?

[gittyup]

I was doing my daily vote for anandtech on the pcstats site and nocited that the votes are decreasing for anandtech. It was at 10996 but now it's 10986.

Did I miss something?

pcstats site

It's at 10985 now

Maybe someone *cough*tweakers*cough is casting a negative vote, would that reduce the total?

 

[gittyup]

At one point, I noticed we had over 11000 votes.

...wonder if it changes with the 'quality' of recent posts ...only correlation I could see.

 

[TripleJ]

That's disgraceful! If I catch the person doing that I'll flog them like a religious thread.

I looked at it before I voted 10979
After I voted 10978

Someone changed their scripts.....:disgust:

 

[cmdavid]

thats screwed up... i know last night before i went to sleep we had over 11000 votes.... hmmm... damn fvcks....

 

[bigbootydaddy]

I just voted it great site and the vote number didnt move...is it updated instantly (i would assume...not that hard a script)

Maybe they have already decided who they want to win and our votes are disagreeing with their conclusion.

edit: Just voted at 10972 and it gave me 10968 as the new total.

Is something different on that site?

I don't see the "vote every 24 hours" mesage anymore.

Perhaps if you vote more than once, ALL your votes are discarded.

I am not sure . . . check it out.

 

[gittyup]

It's a conspiracy.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

We had over 11,080 votes yesterday morning. Grr...

 

[Moonbeam]

I think apoppin is right.

 

[gittyup]

Appears we are back up to 11006.

 

[natto fire]

that gos to show you that those sites are worthless... I'll bet that distributed.net made up that stat about the DPC and we really are winning.

 

[frizzlefry]

MAybe they're right. Can we vote down the other sites? Gonna go try right now.

-edit- Doesn't work. Adds point to competitor. My bad! But I did get 4 votes today for anandtech

 

[Pretender]

I don't suppose anyone caught my subliminal message (aka informative thread) stating that this entire voting process is both fradulent and a waste of time. All you're doing is supporting a crappily (is this a word?) designed site by giving them banner views. Just let it die, sheesh!

when I voted a few hours ago it was at 10999. I thought it was cool since I had the 11000th vote, but something's screwed up...
