TGR photo contest? Rigged?
Has the winner been announced? I looked today and I'm trying to figure out how the photo that was far and away the top-rated photo at closing dropped to third after it closed.

Results are here
And no it was not rigged. Those were the photos with the highest rating and highest votes at midnight January 31st when we turned voting off. Users decided the outcome."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!!! What a ride!"

Ending a skiing contest in January is like the NFL determining the playoffs after the pre-season is over. Doesn't make much sense (especially considering the lack of snow this year).
Pretty sweet prizes though.

Can I respectfully Ask for the voting logs to be posted (Hour by hour voting please). Originally Posted by TGR420

The winning photo had a 6.9. Then, SOMETHING happened. Trying to convince me that a photo that had garnered 1000 votes in 8 weeks got 800+ in 2 hours??? RIGHT!!!!!!! For the sake of transparency, TGR damn well better put up the final #'s.
Two ways to do this, 1). easy, and 2) hard.....
PS. I didn't enter or vote. I just want to know the results. It also means that I am not bound by the entry "rules".....This is the worst pain EVER!
