Yeah, thanks to everyone that voted for us the past few weeks. Obviously we couldn't have done any of this without the help of the OT, and you guys and gals came through more than we ever thought you would.
Special thanks to people like FCP who stayed on top of it pretty much the whole time and not only kept up with stats and whatnot, but also put in some serious overnight work, which was very important, especially against Vinny during that week.
People like to shite on the OT sometimes for being full of idiocy (and it is
), but IMO this place is full of good people who came through on a simple request to vote for a tailgate in some random competition and devoted chunks of their time to throwing votes our way (and most of you doing it not knowing ay of us at all).
You people are fricking awesome.
Thanks, everyone.

I was wondering what was going on with this. What are they just planning to show up to the first game of the season with a crate? "Here you go, congrats".

I'm just assuming this was some genius move by the site to generate clicks for advertising and that there was really no contest at all.

we arent putting it past cruizin cruisers to have planted the biggest marketing ploy/troll in the history of tailgate competitions.

I'm not above botting their email inbox.

7 year bump.
I was poking around in my post history and came across this monster thread from back in late 2014.
For those who weren't there, it was a group of different tailgate parties, each from different colleges across the U.S.. They were competing against each other to win something--maybe tailgate equipment IIRC? Dunno. Anyway, there was a group from LSU who asked the OT for votes.
I was bored at work when it got mentioned, so I decided to see if it could be won for the good guys. Ultimately, I set up 8 computers in our server room to constantly load the contest page and click the LSU guys' button 24/7. It was unmanned after initial setup, and once everything was implemented, it would push through about 50 votes/minute. I added a few other computers towards the end--highest I ever managed was around 100 votes/minute.
I used the old-school screen macros instead of scripts because of the contest rules against bots. The organizers did a couple of things to stop me along the way--including launching doing a Rick Roll audio loop when devices using my IP address voted. Got around that by using a VPN.
Good times. No real reason for today's bump other than realizing it happened 7 years ago and was a CSB.
Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. And a happy New Year, too.

Ha. Thanks, man. I remember we were anti bots initially but when that ASU dude was clearly using them, the OT unleashed the hounds and we won.
Good times…
