Did a little due diligence on the Leightonator. Actually, just went to the credits on the Russian video. Those who are listed in the credits:

Lindsay Latimer
Bulat Shagaleev
Mikhail Anisimov
Sergey Vorontsov
Devin Salem-galambos

In other words, no Leighton Jay K, Leightonator, or anything close. He tried to trick us! He was nothing to the video!

Right at the beginning of the video (0:01) it says "Dinara Yanbaeva & Leighton Kiriachuk".

I don't think we would have got nearly as many votes as we did if Leighton didn't show up here. I know I probably wouldn't have bothered with Twitter. Thanks, Leighton!

[Cheerio]

That Leighton guy should just be happy we aren't 4chan or any such board. His life would be over.

[malcolmk14]

Yeah I don't think anyone's life should be altered at all after this in any way. It's just a fun contest that we've decided to make our life for ~72 hours.

The biggest consequence of this all is that Kendra Wannamaker is going to feel good about herself, and that's fantastic for everyone. I'm not one to suggest what she does with her money, but if she does win the $1,500 prize as a result of our voting Jihad, hopefully she donates some of it to The Flames Foundation.

All in good fun, Leighton. All in good fun.

I agree. He was this jihad's conscience.

[Blaster86]

I wonder if we get a thank you from Wannamaker at the end of this.

Thousands of unrecoverable man hours were catapulted at the cause; days were lost in the siege. Threats from unknown parts of the globe were faced at any given time. The ideological battle raged over 1s and 0s. “WANNAMAKER FOR THE WIN” they wrote. You could feel the energy; a spark would ignite a flash so bright the heavens themselves would be jealous.

I don’t know if it was right or wrong but I do know that I was there...


I was part of it....

Myself and another member here have reached out to her on Facebook. We'll see if she eventually shows.

With all the positivity flowing towards her camp I honestly don't think the right thing for her to do right now is show up here. It literally can't get any better than this for her.

If the troops need a rallying cry in the morning, maybe we hear from Wannamaker. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised to only hear from her in the PGT or not at all.

There's always the possibility that the Facebook Kendra Wannamaker is not OUR Wannamaker, and OUR Wannamaker doesn't have a clue where she's getting the votes from.

All I know is malcomk14 deserves a sweet user title after this is all said and done. MVP of the most epic thread of all time. Someone creative should be able to come up with something good.

[Crazy Bacon Legs]

I had the strangest dream last night.

I dreamed that I woke up and went outside. Suddenly, the sun was blacked out, and all became dark and gloomy. Then, a terrible red wave swept across the land, obliterating everything in its path. Buildings flew apart, and people fell to their knees, screaming. All around me were the sounds of the dead and dying. Then came the chains; manacles appeared around our wrists and ankles, binding us and keeping us on our knees. We struggled to rise, and could not.

Then came the soldiers. They marched down the street, whipping and flaying those who dared dispute their iron rule. They laughed cruelly at our struggles to rise. I tried to stand on my own, but I was shoved to the ground and kicked. They barked at me in a tongue I did not understand, but I knew they meant to take my freedom. All was red; crimson and yellow flags flew from every flag post. I felt my strength draining from me. I drowned in a red sea, shackled and gasping for one last breath of sweet, sweet freedom.

Then, there was a cracking sound. The chains that bound me shattered, and suddenly I could breath. I staggered to my feet as the red tide suddenly receded. Sunlight streamed down on me, and tears filled my eyes from its brightness and beauty. I blinked, and looked around. The vile soldiers were fleeing, bursting into flame and begging for mercy in their alien tongue, unable to take the power of the glory that faced them. The glory of freedom.

And then I heard it: the sound on the wind. The sound that filled every ear. The sound that echoed through previously empty streets. Streets that were suddenly filled with people who were looking up, rubbing their chafed wrists, and blinking at the bright light. The sound that their chapped lips took up and repeated, slowly but steadily. The sound that I could now hear in every cry from every newborn babe's mouth.

The sound that signaled our freedom:

"Wannamaker"

nm - I found all the answers on the voting site....

I WANNAMAKER WIN!!!

I WANNAMAKER WIN!!!!

Ends at 3:00 PM today. Michael Ha ranks 6th

I actually would love to have Michael Ha back after this is done...lol.

The guy is a one post legend. Maybe it needs to stay that way, but this is a pretty forgiving, accepting group. If he is at all like the majority of us, and our self deprecating senses of humor, he could embrace his notariety. None of us are here right now, if it wasn't for Ha Ha!

[Lego Man]

Another vote! Let's keep this up nightshift crew.
