Actually I bet that people quickly figured out that you can vote as many times as you want ..... just keep clicking on "YES" or "NO".
That is why I put my original answer .... one single person can make the poll go whichever way they want.

Really?
I would have thought that OL would know better than put up a poll that can be skewed.
Of course some sites don't care as long as he get hits....

Maybe there are just more people who thinks its ok to use crossbows for Wallaye than Bass . . . I have heard that before. I have never had the chance to try it. It would have to be top notch to beat Crappie. ;D |

Interesting post copied from the blog:
At 10:01 PM, 6/11/2007, Marmot said:
Earlier today, I set a trap to prove to the community that the anti-crossbow crowd has been employing a voting robot (a.k.a. webbot). I used a voting webbot that I developed to post over 100,000 "Yes" votes to trigger a response. The anti-crossbow crowd webbot is currently racking up thousands of "No" votes. Please take a few minutes to place a couple of votes to see this voting webbot in action.

awshucks,
There was no doubt in my mind when the poll went 15,000 + votes negative in just one evening. No one has that fast of fingers.
It seems that OL is content, maybe even happy, to get a 2 million plus votes on a poll. I'm sure that they know what is going on and don't really care.
In the comment section where a webbot wont work the pro-comments are outnumbering the anti-comments 6 to 1.
THAT is what the should pay attention to..

Good points as always, Woody. I can't help but think ODL has unwittingly perhaps done more for the xbow movement than anything else recently.

I don't even thumb through OL or F&S at the newsstand anymore. They are now published for yuppies who like more ads than articles in their magazines.

They rehash the same bass fishing and deer hunting articles over and over. They both are truly a waste of time and mone. IMHO |
