4chan probably didn't hack it so much as just vote for the right people at the right time.

But on the other hand, 4chan couldn't even make Mudkipz win the gamefaqs characer battle, so I'm not sure how they pulled this one off.

i was on 4chan during this. There were a shit ton of voters and then they all voted so it spelled marblecake and when it would get messed up, someone would just make a post and they'd fix it. The article also says that there were a few times when people (most likely 4chan'ers) were trying to hack the vote but they were unsuccesful.



4chan owns the interwebz
