1/6/2010 12:49:23 AM

hahahaha i have like 20 cmd windows open running the batch file

1/6/2010 12:50:09 AM

if you really want it to go crazy, open up the batch file in notepad and delete the line that starts with "choice"

also i think it's funny when i refresh in firefox to see the vote count and get "Sorry, only 1 vote per day."

1/6/2010 12:51:09 AM

haha got rid of the delay line so now the 20+ windows are voting like crazy.

1/6/2010 12:53:58 AM

"'wget' is not reconized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"

wget should be in the directory of the batch file.

I'm running a different version of wget, so I use the batch file:

:start
  wget --cookies=off --delete-after "http://www.kiplinger.com/tools/colleges/vote.php?college=26&submit=vote&x=40&y=10"
  sleep 1
goto start

1/6/2010 12:58:50 AM

wowwwwww
thats just amazing
just leave it to t-tub to skew a poll

I think we killed the website

1/6/2010 1:02:32 AM

realtime vote count so you don't have to go to the page to see:

1/6/2010 1:03:47 AM

impressive work evan

1/6/2010 1:05:13 AM

I concur...this is freakin awesome

1/6/2010 1:06:12 AM

Nice PHP page there.

1/6/2010 1:06:12 AM

gg evan

1/6/2010 1:06:37 AM

FUN FACT: every time someone loads this page, it submits another vote.

1/6/2010 1:07:49 AM

Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't waste grabbing that data.

1/6/2010 1:08:55 AM

I feel like this is a precursor to a TWW firesale

1/6/2010 1:10:17 AM

i would love to be there tomorrow whenever the person who coded this script's boss comes to ask him wtf is going on

1/6/2010 1:10:19 AM

yeah... that'd be pretty hilarious.

Well, we can question the legality.

1/6/2010 1:12:30 AM

someone should show the poll to some UNC people so they can wtf at our pwning

I feel like we should start running a few voters for schools immediately below UNC-Chapel Hill as well, make it as blatantly obvious as possible.

1/6/2010 1:13:46 AM

i don't really see where this is illegal

plus, tww isn't doing any of it... its users are.

1/6/2010 1:13:46 AM

i just started a loop to vote for Truman State

[Edited on January 6, 2010 at 1:16 AM. Reason : or should we do it 4chan style and drive UNC to the bottom of the list...]

1/6/2010 1:16:04 AM

too bad we cant do a negative skew for UNC

1/6/2010 1:17:04 AM

I'll pick up Purdue, have a few friends there.

1/6/2010 1:17:05 AM

hahaha

1/6/2010 1:17:07 AM

^^^right, but we CAN vote for every other school.

1/6/2010 1:17:40 AM

1/6/2010 1:19:07 AM

Aw shit, I think it's almost dead.

1/6/2010 1:21:44 AM

^7 that sounds like a great idea

[Edited on January 6, 2010 at 1:22 AM. Reason : .]

1/6/2010 1:21:45 AM

yeah, i think we're bringing their webserver to its knees, haha

[Edited on January 6, 2010 at 1:22 AM. Reason : FYI, in case this is called into question in the future, this is NOT a DDoS attack, lol]

1/6/2010 1:22:26 AM

Even, how did you generate the link in the first place? If I could start another script for another school and run that for a while, that would be great (preferably to boot UNC down the list).

1/6/2010 1:23:35 AM

Of course it's not a DDoS, we're just participating in the course of Poll Skewing 411 (POS 411).

1/6/2010 1:24:27 AM

if you write a loop that votes for every school but unc i'll run that for a while. currently got about 30 of the NC State loop up

1/6/2010 1:24:39 AM

lol that website is slow as could be now

Proud to be NCSU just from the scores.

1/6/2010 1:25:41 AM

Picking up Va Tech.

[Edited on January 6, 2010 at 1:26 AM. Reason : not running multiple instances for any university]

1/6/2010 1:25:48 AM

just change the batch script to vote for us 5 times and all other schools except UNC once
