*********HDNET Fights Poll Over (5-27-08) "We Deed it Mayne"********

[Reasonable]

We know they're snooping here. Just as we're snooping there. How do you think we first found out about deleting cookies? We've already said hi to each other a few times.

It'd be hilarious if they weren't being such pansies about it. We vote our asses off and the fight draw gets a bunch of publicity, gain 8000 votes, they call us cheaters and think we "hacked" the poll so it counted their votes for ours.

Then, overnight, they gain back 7000 votes, and a couple of you douches presume "Oh, they must be cheating!". The fights end and we get massive popularity when thousands pour into the forums, and they start right back with whining "Their whole board is multiple-voting" or "This is BS, we're just losing by too much! They must be cheating!"

I've been keeping a close eye on it. There were times today when there were only a handful of votes a minute coming in... back and forth over both sides.

Some of them are so proud of making #2 and what that says about their show.. and then others of them are about to invalidate that by getting the pollsters to look into cheating methods *that they developed*. I mean, honestly, how did Jericho get to the finals and beat out, say, Monday Night Football or Lost? It's clearly nowhere near as good or popular a show as those, nor is HDNet Fights.

Sucks that their whining has to bring us down with them.

^^^ LOL!

Yup! Good, way to keep up the good work.
I wish we could break the 55% barrier!

Bottom line, Sherdog has over 150,000 registered voters. People from a thousand offshoot forums lurk here, also. If one or two people voted multiple times, big deal, it was done by Jericho and us. If they want to start the vote over and go at it again, we'll thump them just as hard. Our demographic is males aged 18-32, translation: half of us are college students out for the summer. Jericho fans are a bunch of soccer moms and baby boomers that are acting like middle school girls. Go cry to an authority, and get them to do another vote. We will coalesce our efforts with:

MMAPlayground, *********s, UFC, TCM, FWI, OTR, Bloodyknux, FHQ, mmaglobal, ironlife

and plenty more

Thats over 1 million+ votes , easy. Would it not be best just to admit that you severely underestimated us, and lose by a respectable margin and save a little face? We won this competition before it began, and you all want to cry about it? Chalk our efforts up to cheating? We'll take that as a personal affront. We crushed all our previous opponents, why do you think you would be any different? While we were content with just simply winning the competition, you've made it clear that we need to make a statement. Be ready to lose by a margin of plus 40 percent. You can thank those who called us cheaters.

Remember to vote in the morning!
That is when they made their move last time, with freakin 7,000 votes over night and in the morning!

All I'm saying is.. technically.. neither show should have made it to the finals. I mean, shows were seeded for a reason. How many people watch Lost on a weekly basis? 20 million? On plain TV, not some special cable channel. We're where we are because the fans are passionate.

Though like I said, Jericho is actually a pretty good show. I was there to help it get uncancelled the first time, and wrote my letters in to get BSG on Space instead of just Scifi. But, I just care more about the fights than a show that's twice cancelled. I burnt out on trying to revive Firefly too.

To anyone who cares, Jericho is a good show, we're not up against in this other poll, if you've nothing better to do, if we've a comfortable lead, vote for 'em and see if it'll revive their show.

TV_Vote: Best TV Shows of All Time! <-- Vote Jericho (after voting HDNet Fights in this poll, of course). Everybody wins.

Well said, very Reasonable! I'll be voting in that poll for Jericho a bit.

No matter how much people on Sherdog hate one another, when there's a poll featuring MMA versus [x], we always destroy it in our favour.

It was liek the fighter of the year poll in which we got Randy in first above Brady and co, and then put Mayweather in second just because he's in a combat sport.

Sherdog owns public polls. To death.

MMA, owning other sub-cultures since fucking pogs.
