Suspicious much? Stats page shows the player count nearly tripled, plus it shot past Mineplex in votes from seemingly out of nowhere. Am I missing something or is this just extreme spoofing + vote botting?

Seems legit.

They are a huge network it's just that they used to not offer rewards for voting, now they do. As for the players idk.

There's no way they exceed 500 online players. Chat is dead at peak...

They look like a fairly generic hub server. I haven't heard of this server before.

Yea the server is boring and generic all around. I don't play, I just know about it.

So we've pretty much reached the consensus that this is all spoofed, if that's not the case then feel free to tell me otherwise. But the question now is how were they able to slide past voting website 'security' so easily? Is it really as easy as dynamic spoofing and a vote bot?

It's not spoofed. Unlike other "big" networks.

I was just looking for this thread to update it, seems you beat me to it.

The twitter looks real (the photos), the followers could be fake.

I'll be honest, the whole place looks sketchier than an art class on a monday in an auditorium.

Yeah, this whole situation is pricklier than a porcupine.

Arc I'd love to prove it to you sometime but that is very hard to do without giving away data, which is private. We have a public stats page and that's how we report. We give more data our publicly than any other network I can find. Feel free to PM me with questions and I will answer where I can.

Nighterblde Thanks for posting that video of me, always fun to see!
