1. A Ton of Friends.
2. A Ton of Family.
3. Cheating.
4. All of the above.
Not only have I posted this on an assortment of forums (here, here, here, and of course here - just as a FEW examples!), as well as seeing folks post it on Twitter (here, here, and of course here) and even Kathleen, who is a cast member with a huge following on RedvsBlue made a journal about it - and that's not to say of me posting it on my Facebook, plus my three MySpace accounts, and yet - despite all of this pushing this as hard as I can - that damn "Cream Puff" dog is now over 100 votes ahead of Odin - there's SOMETHING seriously wrong! And I think I finally figured out how they're doing it!
Case and point. Google Creme Puff who is 100 votes ahead...
Creme Puff Googled.
Odin Googled = Odin Googled!
As an experiment I googled the URL to the pictures - to see if the person for Creme Puff is posting somewhere. Then I googled the URL for Odin. Creme Puff, as you can see - has one hit - the link to the photo. Odin has three pages worth of hits!
As for the cheating - if they are - I think I figured it out.
So basically - they have THISWEBSITE.COM (for example obviously) - and they have it so any INVALID email address send with the domain of THISWEBSITE.COM to forward to ONE valid email address. And thus the links for all these "unique" email addresses dump into one inbox.
So - now - if any of you want - by ALL MEANS - please create ANY email address you want when you register as a NEW register - as long as it ends with: @PIRATEBOOTY.NET (I own the site)
So you can make Donna.Troy@piratebooty.net, BobIsAwesome@piratebooty.net - just as long as the email address ends with @PIRATEBOOTY.NET - It will come to me and I will be able to vote using that email address. I think what they're doing is auto forwarding from a domain they have.
The things people will do for their "kids."
