It's the first time, there's bound to be trouble. They'll know a better way next time.

Didn't someone here suggest that we do the very same thing?

Seriously though...all in all, the entire event went extraordinarily well and the response has been extremely positive, even after the early closing. Of all the nominees, 99% of them have a great attitude and realize this is all for fun and a great way to draw the herping community together. Of course, there are always a few individuals who take things too personally and/or too seriously and can't see any good beyond their own gain.

From the get-go, the tech guys at TRR knew how to find and weed out the occasional cheat votes that were sure to come. However, yesterday, one individual discovered a major exploit and then MAILED instructions on how to use that exploit to thousands of people. Robyn (or someone at TRR) got wind of that as soon as it happened and made the decision to close the polls early BEFORE that scale of cheating could begin.

So it's all good. Winners will be announced on the appointed day.
