Wow, who's doing all the voting for Aquabid on the Aquarank website?? I mean, yeah, they're all right, but they're not that great. They don't have near as much in the way of equipment as Ebay.

I think I smell a rat.....Aquarium Advice got busted for some of their members voting a million times a day.....wonder if the same thing is happening at Aquabid? I've seen them in the top 25 or so, but recently they've been #1 A LOT, and by a suspiciously wide margin....

That does smell a little fishy to me to. I never really pay attention to who is where when I vote, I just make sure I do when FP isn't #1.

Well, maybe so, but their skyrocketing up to #1 so fast when they were previously pretty low is a tad suspicious.

Don't get me wrong, I like aquabid....I've bought fish there and plan to do so in the future, but it's strange that they would rise in the polling so fast and by such a large margin.

Doesn't Mark run both Aquabid and Aquarank, under Aquanetwork.com?

A whole bunch of sites got in trouble recently, but for some it wasn't their fault. What better way to knock off your competitors than to make them look like cheats? Was a whole bunch of kerfuffle over it, and I thought it had been sorted, but maybe not.
