Haha, thanks Cheapy. I should have looked around a little longer and I probably could have found that. So if I read the faq correctly you should have enough votes now to get it placed on the home page, right?

Wow, it got upto 47 votes pretty fast. If we get more votes and make it upto 1000 maybe they'll put it permanitely on the homepage.

You know Cheapy, somebody should send the article and CAG/Cheapy awards to Fark. Then this site'll get a LOT of people to come.

It's that kind of thinking that earned you the "Worst Poster on CAG" title, that and Defender smoking rocks, but you get the idea.

Well, there yet another site that I don't need to tell anyone about. I'll stick to other sites than digg to get my gaming news.
Wow, doesn't that just look like an ever-so friendly community? I know, lets talk like jerks in our publicly viewable comments! I'm sure will entice new users to come, join up, and support us via advertising.
Sortsighted morons.
I definately don't "digg" them.

At least they let you sort out the comments if you want useful, redundant, or spam comments. Though that doesn't really add much to their site. This'll probably be the first and last time I visit their site.

That was weird, it disappeared for a minute and then came back with a different title and description, and most of the diggs were gone.
Hmmm....

Yaeh, I just noticed this too. Weren't we upto 80 or something on it. Well I just voted again and we're only up 33. Stupid site. I wonder why they did that or what happened? I had my friends vote also. Not to mention that well um.....*looks behing back* I voted at a few times at different computers at my school's lab. The things we do for this site Cheapy. :lol:

I think now since I'm not my school's lab, I'll probably just use my other computers for a few more quick votes and call up my friend's again.

Hey, wait a second. The link is no longer on the page. What happened this time? I went to see how many votes we were at again and I no longer see the CAG link nor that we were ever on the page. O.K. I'm starting to really not like this site now.

My story disappeared - what happened?
Your story may be been removed from digg for two reasons: automatic fraud click detection, or the user report feature. The user report feature gives moderation control back to the community. If you find a story that's actually SPAM, a duplicate, a bad link, or in the wrong category, simply report it.
i say we all just randomly click on stories and inundate the site with spammy flavored digg clicks

I don't think our story fits into any of those categories. I mean it was a refutable story that just if people saw, that they might join the boards.

02-25-2005, 05:05 PM
I think it looked suspicious because there were too many diggs from unregistered users.
Oh well, doesn't matter.
CAG is more popular than that site anyway.
They should be thanking us for sending them traffic!

the user report feature probably did us in. the user comments weren't too positive concerning all of the non registered digg clicks, so they probably pissed an moaned to Mr. Digg about it.

That's probably exactly it. I still don't see what was the big deal of having unregistered people voting for it. I mean we probably sent them more traffic than they sent us. they should be thanking us, realy when you think about it. That site just seemed like low key kind of crappy version of Fark with the idea of more power to the people. Let's just leave it that the site was alright, but that they probably won't be seeing me anytime soon.
