I'll have to agree with you there lloyd, and sorry for all the insanity. I think this graphiTI stuff is driving me mad. I hope things just.. stop. The more I fight with this crap the more I think the $1000 just isn't worth it. Later on I'll post my email that I sent last night, but only when the time is right.

No problem DA. LOL...I think someone just cheated for you. 675 to 808 in less than a day. Its a probability. Hawain Swirls just got a 100+ votes in the last hour. When will it end? :roll:

Yes, I agree with you that ppl are cheating. It doesn't check whether people are using multiple email addresses- on maybe even imaginary ones! So it's actually kind of lame. I myself admit to voting for DA twice a day (for my two emails) and I have evidence that the pearls design has some ppl voting 10 times a day. :P

So topping 700 votes should be fairly easy, expecting everyone would be willing to vote. DA's is the flame right...? Here is one more vote.

Well 2 votes. I have two active email accounts

WTF?! The TOP 5 entries are being voted for rapidly...like a 100 votes every 10 minutes. Jiang Yios entry, stars, has recieved like 400 votes in half an hour.

That's true. I found out something- You don't even have to have a real email address to vote. Just set the b-day thing to over 13, and type "something@somwhere.arg" :o :insane: :x Yeah, that voting system really sucks. :roll:

Wait a second I've just thought of something. Maybe the whole point of the competition is to cheat. Think about.The whole premise of the contest is bogus. I mean what does drawing a design have anything to do with ti. The whole drawing program they give you is a piece of crap too, real sloppy. Then they have the designs open for votes. As if anyone other than the people who entered the contest is actually going to casually go on the site, browse around and seriously vote in the middle of the summer. Anyone geek enough to do that is already in the contest. And no one is going to get that many friends to vote for them. Obviously TI is just amusingthemselves by seeing a couple kids getting all worked up and wasting hours voting for themselves over and ove. Its a contest of determination and will power.

Votes aren't being shown anymore, and hoefully they've fixed up some of the messes in this. And Twelve, TI isn't evil, they're stupid. They're not evil enough to come up with a scheme like that. They're just stupid enough to let something like this happen. *sigh*

I emailed them like a week ago with a suggestion to restart the voting and add a couple of different security measures in. maybe they actually read it...
