    Guys they're smarter than us. They've obviously got that shit automated. I can't even remember to go vote every hour. We still got some time though. Keep fighting the good fight.

    I would of thought it was automated if it wasn't for the fact the voting wane's while it's night time in Japan. If it was automated it wouldn't wane?

    Haha, that's true. PJ have a huge contingent of disdainful hipster fans. I bet X Japan have none. :lol:

    Do you think PJ thinks this is beneath them since they aren't posting about this on all of their social media accounts?

    Their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts post something just about everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day. They just aren't posting about this, even after people have emailed Ten Club asking them to, because it doesn't matter. I've voted one time each round, if that's not enough, oh well.

    The way they just took off and how the divide keeps growing this wide.. it screams to me that there is some computer type dude on their side running a script. It's really not hard for a computer script to open up a web page and click a button. You put a timer on it to run once an hour all day and night... and if you run it through some proxy servers to change the IP address each time and then it can vote a bunch of times.. once an hour all day and night.

    I think its kind of pathetic that someone would do that for an online poll but given how easy it would be for someone to do.. it clearly looks like that is what is happening in this instance.

    I was wondering this myself. I don't know enough about IT stuff to know how it works...if it could run continuously (as was said, wouldn't the voting be continuous then?)
    Just saw this on the Clutch fb page, and it kinda lends to the theory....
    http://loudwire.com/battle-royale-the-darkness-clutch-trivium-disturbed-video-countdown/

    you now need a captcha to vote.

    fuckin loudwire is probably going to keep doing these non-stop now, because we've all been racking up the page hits for them. Can we all agree to not participate in the next one? I've been voting but it's seriously getting annoying seeing it reposted every five minutes on fb.

    (ps - go vote for clutch :tongue: )

    I think it's that most of us are adults and realize that an online poll really doesn't matter. It's 2015 for crying out loud.

    Now their winning due to hacking? Pathetic. Just realize they have a more devoted fan base, take the loss and move on. It's like dealing with 4 year olds.

    I've had weird and spotty internet service (when only trying join the PJ forums to vote) the last two days. Both at work and at home,

    Something is fishy ...

    What's weird is there is no swing anymore. It's a stable 60 to 40 give or take a percent. Someone posted on the loud wire page that they use a voting service that allows then to throw their own power on the vote. It's a known voting tool and I am convinced now that they do use their power to manipulate. Why else do we have a better shot than any x Japan opponent? Why else would their be a huge massive swing the first day and now it doesn't move at all by more than 1%? They want us to think we have enough of a chance.

    Why did we win by 52% about for every other poll. I have no doubt x Japan should beat us. Their fans love this poll. They should be beating us like everyone else. They should continue to swing this poll like they did all the other bands. But that wouldn't draw traffic if it was dead in the water. Idk.

    X-Japan would win the other polls 75-25. So we're closer.

    Obviously animated. With that said, the hipsters on Facebook continually make and post "who cares" memes which are utterly ironic beyond belief.

    Could X Japan be the original saboteur of PJ20? Was it a preemptive strike leading up to the vote?

    One must wonder ....
