Sooooooo if you are re-checking the legitimacy of all voters, are you saying the results of the winners are pending?! :confused:

So it is still possible Yao416 may be declared the Winner? :cheesygri

And the plot thickens...

More like the number of votes Yao lost by would be even greater.

Thanks to those who voted for me in the Freebie section. TBH, I didn't even realize there was a vote or that I was even in the running until Oranr PM'd me saying Howwon and I both won.

Thanks again :)

Congratulations. Now where is the exclusive list of secret freebies that you promised me. :twisted: :lol: :D

I think it's best if the votes counts are closed until you have voted. I was late to the poll and I was gonna vote for MrPerfect, but since it was a clear race between Yao and 45ED, I made my choice between those two instead. TBH, neither choices have much content in their OT posts: Yao with his usual "pics?", "low content", and pupazzo-clone posts, and I don't remember the last time 45ED had an OT post worth reading. And now they're just racking up post-counts with back-and-forth bickering.

45ED: yay, you won, congrats (I voted for you), but the whole thing was for fun. Let it go already.

Yeah, 45ED you gotta take a chill pill and calm down a little, you're taking this a little too seriously. I made a few posts in OT a week or so back and 45ED was basically hounding me in every post/thread I made there, getting all excited over nothing. You're making indirect attacks on other people in your signature and other threads you've made/posted in over an award which is basically worthless, aside from any make-believe value you are personally attaching to it. I would suggest finding some non-RFD related activities to pre-occupy all that free time you have, it would help you bring reality into perspective a little better.

SMH at his signatures lately. What a sore winner. He needs to venture out of his basement for something other than a pizzapocket from mom's fridge.

Yeah, I know he claims to be a woman on here but you can be whatever you want on the interwebz.

Give it a rest, champ.

If you really want to play it fair, both of you would be disqualified as I'm sure both parties had people creating accounts for them. So in a perfect world neither of you would have won, so quit being a sore loser/sore winner. It really makes the both of you look pathetic if an internet poll means so much to either of you...there's A LOT more to life. I'm sure I'm not the only person to realize this (this isn't a personal attack on either of you).
You're not funny.

What do you hate about 45ED's posts? And love about MrPerfect? I know 45ED isn't perfect but he still has thoughtful and intelligent posts and refrains from low content posts. Yao416's posts are annoying to read and it would bring shame to the RFD forum community to award him with "off-topic poster of the year". Overall, I feel 45ED deserved this award than anyone else.

There is no "love/hate". I just find MrP's post more memorable than 45ED's, that's all.

I've noticed 45ED gained about 9 votes within the last half hour before the poll closed. Yao416 also received about 5 votes within that half hour. The problem with these polls is you don't even need a second IP address to keep voting for yourself. You just need to create another account using a different e-mail address.

Im quite appaled with the blatant hyprocrisy and holier than thou attitude being thrown around especially with the constant personal attacks thru signatures and post accusing the other party with all sorts of charges. But truth be told she was going to lose, if it hadn't been for us to bail her out in the very last minutes of poll closing. I supported her all this time, we all did but I now think she used us all in the chatrooms and we got carried away.

It is upto you now RFD to decide. Both of them does not deserve to be a winner. A picture says a thousand words and I live it upto you to decide.

Too much fraudulent ballot stuffing going on in the voting in Off Topic.
Even Oranr knows it and admits it. RFD should not condone fraudsters making a mockery of RFD.

Disqualify all the Off Topic contestants. :twisted:

Wow, I guess she really wanted that $25 gift card or whatever trinket it is you get for winning.

That image makes you guys look really pathetic, I think you should all get your heads checked.

It's funny, we do these awards for ego stroking.. yet any attempt to implement a reputation system is said to do the same thing, purely for the ego's. It's also funny that's the same users who oppose the reputation system are all steam ahead for the member awards...
