    Just advice.
    I know peewee & I'm not. I'm about as humble a man as there is. Honestly I didn't want to go blow horning around about this contest, but I figured other people post here trying to get votes in online contests so what the hell...

    I don't dislike groucho, I don't even know him. I like that he has some moral & values, he's old school & I can understand & appreciate that. The thing is I don't see why he always gets mad about something someone else is doing. There are plenty of other 'REALLY BAD' things happening in this world right now, & me trying to win a VW contest is not one of them.

      Chill and watch the vote counter zing, is all I'd add. I'm all strawberries and sunglasses but let a more senior member of the board express a dissenting view from the heart without discounting it entirely. If it wasn't a felt belief, he wouldn't have expressed it. Doesn't mean he's not outnumbered this one time, and it sure doesn't mean he's wrong by any means.

      Dang, did I say all of that?

        Cheating what about the cats that dont know your little trick. is that fair to the people sending real legit people to the site to vote? It may be a contest to get people to the web site but its not intended for cookie clearing and cheese. yes there are alotta bad things but why you gotta be one of them? All big bad things start with a tiny one. Prepare to toss the salad of karma lol

                        All voting scripts are like that.
                        I found myself in a situation where I needed to rebuild the votingapi_cache table (it got deleted). So, here's a script which will do it and some clean ups to README.txt while we're at it.


                        And most people already know about it lol.

                        Nope, it's correct.


                        Thanks for the support folks.
                        And thanks again to Brian for handling last nights problem.

                          I don't dislike groucho, . The thing is I don't see why he always gets mad about something someone else is doing.
                          I'm not mad. I just think what you're doing isn't cool. There's a lot of neat entries that obviously have a lot of time and money involved that have just a handful of votes.......and what you're doing here is not fair to them. I think the winner should be about the CAR, and not it's owners ability to manipulate the internet. Are others doing the same thing? Probly. But it doesn't make it right

                            A lot of times these things let you vote as much as you want because their actual goal is traffic to their website, that is how they sell ads...

                            But Guys THANK you for the FridayClick image for larger version
