826604 2009-11-02 19:39:00 It's a little surprising they published the IP addresses of those accused - two are Ihug/Vodafone addresses, and one is WxC. Surely they would want to pursue legal action before releasing these details? somebody (208)
826605 2009-11-02 21:33:00 That explains why I could not see the poll. bob_doe_nz (92)

826607 2009-11-02 21:57:00 Doubt it was a hacker, more likely someone who just wants their side of the poll to win... Agent_24 (57)
