2SIMPLE - Clearly Cheating

Asia Weblog Award takes an interesting initiative. The result certainly reflects the popularity of their blog. Everything went smooth so far. However, something very interesting happened today. A new comer site 2SIMPLE was the star. It was ranked very low with less than 20 votes (as I remember) at noon. In one or two hour, it jumped to the top with 140 votes at around 2:00 PM. The number vote stopped crazily increasing after 2:00 PM and by 6:00 PM, it only got another 2 votes.

It is clear that someone (may not be the site owner) posted about one hundred of votes in a very short time frame. The 2SIMPLE’s site posted a banner to show off the leading position. In the comment section, a person with display name yy wrote:

I should enjoy the credit to make it happen. I am tired to death to make it?

Updated Removed some comments December 18, 2003

It seems this entry became a flaming post. I didn’t mean to do it. So I removed the previous part. Just take it easy. Enjoy the funny flash from Italian flash author Bruno Bozzetto about the traffic rules in Italy: Yes & No

Updated Close the Event December 18, 2003

It is clear to me that the 2SIMPLE website is also a victim of the event. It was not the owner who wanted this happen. Datou showed very good manner in the posts and comments on his website. I appreciated it. I just removed this link from my home page and modified the content of this post a little bit to reflect the truth. I don’t want to delete this post since it will erase the comments my readers posted below.

Best wishes to everyone in this small world.
