That’s what I said.
In the other thread about this someone quoted an unofficial, and thus possibly fabricated, statement that said Spike forums (such things exist?) had instructions on how to bypass safegaurds and vote a hell of a lot more than they should have.
The phrasing implied, though did not state, that we were not the accused party.
As I said, unofficial, but it is something to consider.

A fan spike? is that what made the Film 2005 movie of the year in the UK?

People, have a little self control.
so...
they took the poll down because people were voting for the shows they liked?
holy shit! never would have thought!
unless people started cracking it and voting more than once, i don't see what they are complaining about.
is it now 'unfair' that firefly has more fans than joss's other shows?
or is it just 'unfair' that we voted for firefly instead of the shows we don't like?
i know! how about they just put up a 'poll' saying that all of his shows are loved equally! that way, the ones with less fans don't feel left out because nobody voted for them!
of course, that does jack shit in terms of finding out which of his shows people want back, but that's what the first poll was for, and we can see how well that went.
[disclaimer: if someone actually did crack the site and break the numbers, please disregard this rant. but if they just took it down because we all voted for a show we love and they don't like that, then the rant is, by all means, valid.]

According to an unofficial report Spike fans did just that.
Of course that is unofficial, BUT:
Nothing official or otherwise has thus far even come close to implying that we are the ones being blamed, yet everyone seems to take it as a personal insult.
-
The unofficial unconfirmed thingy said:
several readers e-mailed us detailed postings from various "Spike" bulletin boards in which fans advised each other how to hack our poll
I don't know how much stock to put into it, but I do know that nothing, no matter how suspect, has pointed the finger our way.

Spike, I'm afraid, has 3000 screaming teen-age girls lusting after him.
No power in the verse can stop them.
Oh, and yes, you can bypass the controls. Not that we Highlander fans did it at any point. We're far too responsible for that.
