Hello, I'm getting this error after trying to vote on Xtreme Top 100:
"Could not open Socket" in a blank page

I can reach the captcha screen but after the submit there is a timeout or that message

Is unfair since we can't really vote and DN keep going up

Is only happening to me?

Are they nerfing our chances to go first place?

I'm not sure if it nerfs anything, but, I'm getting it since last night. But as far as I know, you still get your cubi for voting. So I'm guessing the votes still count toward top spot in ranks.

My concerns are not for the cubi but for the vote itself, is also unfair for epw give gold for fake votes.
That can also seem to be a abuse attempt from the user and finally get banned or something

I just like to have things fair to everyone involved

I'm sure the vote still counts, and explain fake votes? Because if you read it, all the votes are logged and recorded constantly. To prevent abuse.

OK, I'll explain 'fake vote':
epw page redirect the user to the voting website and count, after that there is no monitoring of the voting fact meaning:
User can close the tab and it will count on epw
User can mistake several times the captcha test and it will count on epw
User can efectivelly vote and it will count on both pages

Thats how u get gtop100 with 5.3k votes and xtremeTop100 stuck on 3.3k

I would like to be clear on this: I'm not defending myself, I'm defending epw.

Ah, well, if they do that, then, what's the issue with it? We got top spot anyway, and it's the fault of the website for allowing that to happen

I'm having the same problem, for a couple of days now. I get the captcha page, but not the banner page. I'm thinking and hoping that it's just the captcha page that gets counted. I only have the problem on the first link, the second link is working fine.

Yes, it counts.

Nah, it's probably an issue they're having with the site. Don't fret though, votes and cubi still counts.

That site always seems to have problems with the voting stuff, and as for getting the #1 spot on it I belive that the current #1 has votes every 4 hours so passing them won't be possible. There's also the issue if the site itself is rigging the vote count or not.

Dragon Network has voting every 12 hours, I believe.

We're nothing like God. Not only do we have limited powers, but sometimes we're driven to become the devil himself.
