There was a close-run battle between Wookie Monster and Time_Warp with some dubious votes on both sides.
The votes which were disqualified are:
Robbie Williams vote for Dan2K1
Mech Warrior's vote for Spider
Munkey2001's vote for Dringo
semajal's vote for &^£something
Titan Warrior's vote for Time_Warp
MJSwerve's vote for Wookie Monster
Cal2K1's vote for Time_Warp
FREAK's vote for Dringo
Mech Warrior's vote for Time_Warp
Dringo is Dead (Freak of the Mr Dark)'s vote for Tony
ssxbro's vote for Wookiee Monster
Dav1d's vote for Time_Warp (voted twice)
Dav1d's vote for Seifer (voted twice)
Big Slow's vote for Time_Warp (55 seconds late)
In addition there were some concerns over absentee Newbies returning to the forums just to vote. These include my wife Fate. These people had the right to vote so they are allowed - and when totted up between the two main contenders they appear to equal each other out exactly! I would have done a little more research on this if I suspected that the outcome was affected.
Although semajal did make a spoof vote I accepted his apology and allowed his vote for Time_Warp.
With all the above in mind here is my final count. I apologise for any mistakes. Clearly some of the lower runners suffered a loss of votes due to people voting tactically for the main contenders.
Wookiee Monster 17
Time_Warp 15
Goatboy 9
pb 7
Dan2K1 7
Your Honour 5
Dringo 5
RastaBillySkank 4
Seifer 3
Turbonutter 2
New Jimmy 1
Delta Java 1
ShockTrooper 1
SnoopDoggyDan 1
jd99 1
In future only regulars will be allowed to vote. With this in mind I totted up the count of regulars for Wookiee and TW.
Wookiee Monster 14
Time Warp 9
The result measured this way is much clearer.
Commiserations to Time_Warp who mounted a spirited challenge, but Wookiee clearly deserves to be the winner and he will wear the burden of a gold name from tomorrow.
Thanks for Voting.
Hahahahaha!! A good one that.
:-D

Bloody typical!
You use us as your advertising department, your general web page upkeep department and know you get us to write your speech for you as well!?!??!?!
Damn good idea! Beats doing it yourself eh?

Ali and the guys doing GAD and FAD wins have to look through the whole weekend's posts (yes, ALL of them!) to determine the winners. This is not always possible on a monday, so it sometimes takes until tuesday to resolve.
Be patient!! :-)
