Can anyone clarify on these points? I know you lurk here rich!!

Um, if that's because you used 6 terminals 2 hours apart, all 12 votes will be discarded if they are on the same subnet. You would have been better off just voting on one of them.

Yes, the votes went through, but were likely tossed out during the verification/tally phase.
There is a very high probability that these computers were all on the same subnet. The building has ONE connection to the internet. The connection (modified phone line, cable, or sattelite) is attached to a router. All data flow to/from the building passes through the router. All of the computers attached to the same router are given different IP addresses (uuu.vvv.xxx.yyy) that differ only in the last 3 (yyy) digits; the xxx digits are the subnet. If they (xxx digits) are the same on each computer attached to a router, then the computers share the same subnet (usually. I'm sure there are exceptions, but you aren't one of them)).

[bold] I tried at a public library once and they were clearing sharing the same internet connection (if thats what a subnet is) and only the first one went through, the second time it said that I'd already voted that hour.

---

I'm not sure how that one was set up, but perhaps those computers were sharing the same connection via a modem instead of a router.

However, I was at the big university library so I'm thinking that each computer had its own connection.

Probably not

Although, heres another question: If I lose track of time here at home and vote a few minutes early and get the "we're sorry" screen and then go back in a few minutes and try again, getting the "thankyou" screen this time, the site doesn't throw out all of my votes for the day on the assumption of cheating right? If I get the "thankyou" screen I assume it went through, but a couple times I've gotten the impression otherwise from the way people talk.

Can anyone clarify on these points? I know you lurk here rich!!

Good question. I'm pretty sure those votes go through, but I don't really know. Perhaps try voting early (repeatedly) for a show that's low on the nominations list and see if your votes count. That's how I usually check to make sure my votes are counting.

Oh, I ain't slowin' down neither. I think, per capita, we are the strongest voters in this race. That's what makes us mighty.

Which explains why I was almost single-handedly able to raise Mr Rogers' Neighborhood two positions in the last week.

Oh and the stats are wrong again, two days in a row. BSG and Nikita are replaced.
