lol, looks like our success got us beat. Someone reported us as cheating in the top 50 and we're gone. :banghead:

Oh well, if they want to play that way it's fine.

They won't get near our top sites once I get the script running again. The perl ones are not that good, and the php ones use mysql which our server is not good at... so I'll program that as well when I get a chance, for now we have a cute little page saying it's down. :)

But wait, there's more!

We are featured on other top list and there's no cheaters there so we don't have to cheat one bit (if you consider proxies cheating - that's all I did really)... simply go on the home page once in a while and vote from there. ;)

I guess there's such thing as been so much in first place, that you're last. That's what happened to us. It was getting out of hand anyway lol. I little too much of :stir the pot: with the other site if ya know what I mean. :)

If you want to help us at something better, join our UD team instead. No one can cheat (that I know of) so it's 100% fair. We're only 2 members there, we need more. :cry:

Let's rock on, :concert: :yo:

Wow, I just realized, if my calculation is correct, this will save me over 1 hour per day of voting. When it let's you do it each 15 minutes - I take advantage of that! Unless that was considered cheating... :grade11math:


By the way, I was preparing a new skin for the forum (this will remain the default) and I was at the vote button, and it reminded me to vote, so I did it and saw our site was gone, saved me a few lines of html, you can choose the skin in the user CP if you want. I'll be adding a few more skins. ;)

:awesome: We are still #1 :awesome:

edit: added race car :dosgonebad:

Oh, and all the voting-related threads will be cleaned up shortly, I'll lock them for now - they will be deleted thusday afternoon when I get home from my final exam.

I was browsing and it seems every few threads is related to voting. lol A little obsessive, no? :eek:

When people mess with me like the site we were beating did in the past, I take revenge to the next level, a little too much. Something I'm bad for, and should just get over it. :no no no:

This should be a good lesson for me to get over the war I already won before, this site proves not mine, but OUR victory. Without all of you this site probably would not exist, as I would not be motivated to work on it.

Now, me goes and writes more articles, "how to efficiently get banned from top site list, intense guide to getting ranked in black lists" :roflmao2: :roflmao4:
