Since I take it you're talking about the spammers, I'm kind of curious about them, since we've gotten an uprising of spammers on another forum I frequent around the same time frame. One even posted an ad for the tool they use to mass-spam forums LOL.
Remember, there's a LOT of members on here that aren't regular posters, and only a fraction of the forum voted in the poll. And who's to say everyone voted honestly.
