A quick note about voting results. Displayed vote totals were compromised at one point by some sort of spam bot that registered thousands of votes for different contestants at a time – all originating from a single IP address. In calculating the final tallies, we only allowed 1 vote per IP address to count. Thanks for hanging in there with us as we dealt with this, and we apologize to anyone who got their hopes up for winning based on the spammed results. We’ve already taken steps to stop this from being able to occur in the future.
