    Wow, its been a long time since Ive posted on the CC Boards. While I visit the site EVERY day, I just have not had time to post much.

    Anyway this is my confession to Clutch.

    When I first got the net a few years ago I come across the Clutchcity web site. It was the first site I bookmarked in my search for Rockets info. Anyway on the site was a poll, and the subject was something like "Should the Rockets trade Hakeem Olajuwon".

    Being a massive Rockets fan and having little regard for the unwritten rules of the internet, I voted no.....1000 times.

    It took a while, but I had to get my point across

    Now I didnt think much of it. Untill about a year ago when I saw Clutch had written saying someone had actually voted 1000 times. I couldnt believe it, and now Im willing to put my hand up and say...I did it.

    Dont think of it as something bad though, think of it as a sign of how big a Rockets fan I am.

    Clutch, Im sorry, and keep up the terrific work on the site. It is without doubt the best team site of any sport on the net.

    Regards
    Christopher

    That was a crappy thing to do. But, usually you can only vote once. How did you vote 1000 times?

    Chris,

    As a rabid Hakeem defender, I'll take responsibility for about 500 of those votes, I'm sure there's a couple others out there that would do the same. We need all the Hakeem-love we can get around here.

    :D

    LOL!. Im going to admit something too. It doesnt have to do with clutchcity.net. When NBATALK.com was up and running, they use to have polls. I would vote at least 500 times when they had any Rocket player on the voting choices. :)



    BUT NEveR ON CLUTCHCITY.NET!!! hahahaha

    It was a long time ago, most likley just after CC was started. I just kept pressing the button and and in the end every vote counted. It must have take about 30 minutes

    As I said, I'd never thought of it again untill I saw Clutch bring it up. I knew straight away that he was talking about what I'd done. He said he had to change the poll that he used so it wouldnt happen again.

    It was a silly think to do and I am very sorry for causing a problem for the best damn sports site on the net, but hey, it shows how big a Rockets fan I am :)

    It good to see Im not the only person who has got on the nerves of a web editor because they love their Rockets :)

    So..... it was Christopher and DREAMer that cost us that great deal with Toronto. We could have had Jonathan Bender, right?!

    Christopher -- Thanks for the comments on the site and good to see you back posting... no problem on the poll flooding -- it just shows you were pretty hardcore about Hakeem staying. :) I needed to change the poll system way back when anyhow. As an FYI -- the poll system that has been in place for a few years stops multiple votes.

    I didn't actually vote 500 times. I voted once.

    I meant I would take responsibility for 500 of Christopher's votes, in an attempt to lessen the humiliation of a fellow Hakeem supporter.
