Hey folks!

So i was surfin around the site and stumbled across the forum topic about 'best TV shows' with the link and all...

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

and after reading their tracking methods for a minute, it struck me that anyone with a non-static ip address (that is, if your on dialup or your ISP doesn't assign you one constant ip address) you can pretty much cheat the system by disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet, which (most of the time) provides you with a new, shiney ip address withwich to bombard the site with plenty of firefly votes

which, by the way, i'm POSITIVE is what some lonley nerd did with Xena... i mean, it was a decent show, but first place?!?! PFFTT!!!

at any rate, this was just an attempt at trying to think of some fresh ideas on how to get firefly up there in a hurry...

so if you've got dialup, an ISP that you have to log-into everytime, or are on a local network (ie: multiple computers in your house) or if your on a wireless connection with a pool of avaliable IP addresses you can just 'refresh' your connection and odds are you'll get a new (or at the least, a different) ip address...

...now that you've got more then a few options in regards to spark'n that Firefly torch... go vote for firefly, change your ip, and vote again till your fingers bleed... or you get bored, whichever comes first...

any imput in regards to this matter wouldn't go un-noticed...

Thanks for the support, and don't give up, Browncoats!

you could also use proxys, there are sites out thier what thousands of proxys.

That poor lonely nered you are talking about prolly wrote a bot that connected to a proxy then submitted the web form automaticly

what is a proxy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server

****EDIT****
i just read on the site:
Come back sixty minutes later
and vote again until you get bored!

just vote every hour lol!

****EDIT 2****
disconnecting your modem will not necceraly get you a new ip every time. If you disconnect your modem, and reconnect it soon after you will most likley get your same ip again. See, the modem querys the DHCP server and asks if it can have the same IP it had last time. If not, it will be issued a new IP. The only way for you to not get your old IP is if when you dissconnect your modem the and some one else powers on their modem and the DHCP server gives that modem your old IP. Then you get a new IP. But thats if the DHCP server gives them your ip, im may choose another from a very big block of ips.

Sorry if this is going over kill for an explination. I just get exitable when i get to talk geeky!

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I get a different IP every time. Even if I dial back up right away. I've done such things on voting sites a number of times. I actually realized I was getting a new IP every time on a site that gave you a color code for chat; my colors were always different except when I was at work, when they were the same every time. So I voted like crazy on that site, reconnecting right after I disconnected so I could get in five votes to everyone else's one (there was a five minute rule). It always worked.

So, working on it. It gets very boring and a little frustrating since I can't surf anywhere else.

So hey, would this also work voting for Summer Glau on http://www.kolumbus.fi/raine.maattanen/final_cut/ ?

well, if the site uses cookies you'll have to remove them before you can re-vote, but from the layout of that site, i don't think they do (then again i'm just browsing really fast while i'm at work, so i'm not positive...)

...i think i heard something about you can only vote once on that site for 'best actress'...?

Also, I'm pretty sure using the AOL software (as in, you use AOL to actually connect to the internet) gives you a new IP address all the time. At home (I'm at college now, so I'm on high-speed internet) we use dial-up AOL to use the internet, and it sometimes tells me on Wikipedia that I need to stop screwing with articles.

Mind you, I don't actually edit any of the articles on Wikipedia. I think that what happens is that AOL has a pool of IP addresses that can change randomly, so someone else did the editing and it sends the message to everyone who uses the IP address to connect to Wikipedia.

So, it seems that your system could also work for people who use AOL to get online.
