Ok, this is just spooky. Go to this page and look at the VOTE icon they use for their little Oscar poll:
Does that VOTE icon look familiar to anyone? Any ideas as to how that vote icon could be making the rounds? Does CNN owe TMS royalty fees? Is that VOTE icon from some kind of public domain icon graphic archive? Surely this is some sort of conspiracy! |

I agree with hephos. it probally is a default thing. or perhaps its a coincidince, its not like the icon super fancy or anything. in fact, its pretty plain. but ya never know...

That is what I figured as well.
But isn't it more fun to imagine some kind of horrible consipracy? Or even better... What if they stole the graphic from TMS and Synozeer can sue CNN for a meeeeeeeeeeeellion dollars! |

You want a horrible conspiracy theory? Here's one:
If you click on that button, it not only sends a vote for the Oscar poll, it also sends an extra vote to either of the two muds on top of this list. |

Ooooooooo!
I think there should be a full investigation. A special prosecutor would be appropriate here I think. Do any mud admins here do web design professionally? Like, perhaps for CNN.com??? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm |

Maybe Top Mud Sites owns the Oscars, and they secretly work with all the players of all the muds around the world and choose who actually wins the oscars. Of course, nobody disagrees with mudders when we choose who wins... we're easy to get along with.

Please, let's speak no more of this. There are things at work here you all possibly cannot know.
That's all I can say for now. |

I knew it!!!!!!!!!!
Censorship! First the 5 second delay during the Oscar broadcast itself, now attempted censorship on the forums. Is there any doubt that the powers behind both the Oscars and TMS are one and the same?!?!?!?! |

I think Synozeer is really J.R.R. Tolkien in disguise. He owns Top Mud sites, and the Oscars, so naturally, he wins all the Oscars.... yes, yes....
