Whats the matter with the HotorNot page?
Some guy named kanwulf just put in his picture and already he has over 5000 hits. I think he is running up his points. Not fair for the rest of us is it?
Thanks
:mad:
 
You can select the car you want to view by selecting top 5,10,15,20 views then selecting the car you want to see.
I found out you can also hit your back button and keep giving yourself 10 till you are on top. I'm guessing that's what kanwulf did. He must be awfully bored though to sit there long enough to give himself over 5000 votes.
If it was fair it would be cool but it obviously isn't.
Someone should clear his points.
See Ya.
:mad:
 
Welcome to GTP, Dodge001! However, try to cool off on the mad smilies, will ya? ;)
 
No, nobody visits that place anymore. If they do they need to be in the Rumple Club for being idiots. No offense.
 
Ok, so it's not such a great page because of the glitches but there are a few nice cars on it. They just need to keep the scoring honest.
Thanks for the welcome.
 
I doubt any fraud is involved - the software that runs HOTorNOTcars is horrible, and I really am suprised there aren't far worse bugs.
 
Ok,..... So you are saying that he just happened to get over 4000 hits in just a few days? How does that work where he can get about, ohhh....... I'm guessing, 500 times the amount of hits everyone else gets in a day? I could be way off on this but that doesn't really seem random does it.
Anyway. no big deal. I am going to close my account down on that page.


Later.

:banghead:
 
I'm saying I think it is a bug (or a glitch) in the software that runs the site, and has erroneously given him that number. However, it is equally likely that he has linked to his picture from a popular website (using the links provided on this page), and is drawing a lot of votes that way.
 
Possibly. Although when I put in the picture of the Dodge SRT and gave it a score of 10 which placed it on top it immedietly got 3, 1 votes which placed his back on top. Not a big deal except when I refreshed the page I kept seeing his numbers increase by 2 and 3 each time I refreshed. So I went back to my picture and gave it another 10 and it added it to my score. I did this several times to see if it would keep adding up whenever I clicked the back button and gave myself a 10 and it did.
That tells me that he is doing the same thing except on a much faster connection than me.I stopped after that.
I have a hard time believing that he put a link on a page that gives him that many points that fast. If he did then that website would be a goldmine.I don't think even porn sites get that many hits in 1 minute.
Anyway, on to other stuff.

:p

The mystery reveiled...

Jordan is exactly right. I placed links on busy sites.

Here is the hit count for November on the one. "4925536 hits" That's raw hits though.
That doesn't include today becuase my logs haven't been parsed yet.

The other site was a freinds who did it as a favor. His site gets an average of 10K unique hits a day.

Between the 2 receiving almost 8000 votes in a week was small potatoes. Like anyone is going to sit and reload a page and vote for themselves some ridiculous amout of times. :rolleyes:


It was kind of an experment on what the software could handle. As stated before it sucks...


That place really needs cleaned up too. There are two broken images for every image to acually vote on. :(



Have fun with you toys, boys.

ttfn,
 
One other thing. Why is it when you are on top the hits stop? When you aren't on top the hits start up again?
Those sites must not be very consistant huh?

It definitely sucks, but it's all we've got for now. In the future, please let me know before using my website and webserver as testing grounds. If you have real technical questions about the software like that, please direct them to its creator, RussianLondon.
 
Jordan,

Wasn't trying to run down the software or your site. I like the site the way it was meant to be. Unfortunatly there is always someone who messes things up.
I wont comment any more on this subject.
Once again,...... On to different things.

No, Dodge001, I understand what you are saying, my last post above was directed towards kanwulf, and not towards you at all.
 
I found a porn picture in there when I was going through that Hot or Not a while ago. I should say when I only had about 1000 posts.
 
For some reason, Hot or Not doesn't work. The page will load briefly, and then tell me 'Document: Done' with a blank, white screen. Any ideas why? Is it my computer, or the site?

I don't know why that would be happening...it appears fine for me. Did you keep refreshing the page? Do you still have the problem?
 
Roo-- It's probably a problem with your browser. The page loads fine for me. My browser also will occasionally load blank, white pages and say that it's done... I just hit back, then Forward, and that usually solves the problem. ;)

Do you know what the 'refresh' button is there for? :p

Okay, you asked for it, so here goes... :D

Quite often, some browsers won't truly "reload"... instead, they'll just grab cached data, and display that (Internet Explorer is notorious for this behaviour). One way to "force" a browser to truly reload the page is via shift-clicking on the reload button (or sometimes alt, control, whatever). However, on my browser (Chimera Navigator), you can use the alt/option button in conjenction with the scroll wheel to go Back/Forward (so, to go Back, one would hold down the option key and move the scroll wheel back one "click"). Now, to make it even easier for me, I programmed one of my Logitech MX 500's buttons to simply be the option key... so, I just hold down that button, and then use the scroll wheel as I wish... this obviously makes it unnecessary to reach the keyboard. Plus, this saves me one extra button (instead of programming one button to be Forward, and one to be Back).

Thus, instead of of moving the mouse all the way up to where the Reload icon is, and holding down shift at the same time (!), it's much, much easier for me to just hold down the "option key" on my mouse and quickly scroll back one click and forward one click... and you of all people should know the value of such conveniences what with your complaints about GTP's "Jump to" list. :p

Sorry, I tried to make that post as painless as possible, but you asked for it! :smilewink
 
Still no joy... went back, forward, reload, came up with the same thing i.e. nothing. I'll question my dad when he gets home. Thanks guys!
