Now my point, although I fancy myself an Artist, in real life I am a Web Script writer, ie PHP, all though I now exclusively use Coldfusion becuase of security issues with PHP. Its not tha PHP is insecure its that since its open source code tends to be sloppy and written by non-professionals. Not to say that is the case here. What happens is since PHP is free poeple start websites using PHP becuase of low initial cost, suddenly they have a hit website and the real world come crashing down on them. Tthey probably used some free bulletin board or free code somewhere without checking it for back doors etc., and now the stuck with it until they do a major rewrite which costs them more that they want to spend. So, they look the other way when things happen.
So the problem could be that this person found out how to exploit this, on the other hand it may be the person who programmed the rating system rounded everything up after the .5 so if you get a 4.6 it automatically rounds. up.
As far as the HUG CLUB, (I really like that name by the way RGUS) -- thats a different issue. Popularity is part of life and we all need a HUG now and then. RGUS is right, if its good people will buy it.
Best Regards.
