    Need your EXPERT OPINION quickly please
    « on: June 06, 2009, 11:34:03 AM »
    Hey guys, Please tell me if this is my problem or the site's.

    I am voting in a contest where there are 100 entrants. To vote you must click on a "+" sign by the pic of the person. So, if everyone's pic has that sign except the person you're voting for is it like your comp or the site. Mind you the pic has been with the sign most of the morning and the site is constantly saying "Can't Find the Web Address".

    Also, When you do get in the same page displays the same numbers over and over even when I clear my cookies.

    Can the site be manipulating the votes in favor of one person, or is there likely a problem with my machine.  Others of us voting for this one person are also going through this problem.


    Thanks guys.
    If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

    I don't exactly know what may be going on, we're going to need more information...
    Number 1...to start getting an idea of what may be going on, what's the website, that you're speaking of, what's the web address?
    Computers are the future, not us. Learn everything you can about them while you still can, soon they will be learning about us... Every bit of advice that I give you is best guess, it is your choice whether or not you listen to it.

      Please tell me, in the block @davidarchie, is there a plus sign visible in the lower right corner? This sign is not visible to a ton of voters.

      The site is mallplace.com

        Looks like someone doesn't have enough bandwidth!

        The site looks like it is struggling to stay up. It's taking forever to load, so elements (pics, urls) are timing out and failing to load. This is a problem with the site and not you.
        Don't forget to give thanks if I was able to help ya! Please?

        Yes, and I just clicked it.

          Thank you. Now say they don't have enough band width...if they were to keep a huge amount of ppl from voting could that compensate and give them, um whatever...more ability to serve others? Could that be why @davidarchie has had no ability to vote most of the day, and why the site is saying the web address is unknown?

              Karnac, most of the guys here know I'm not comp savvy. What are you saying? The photo needs to be re[laced.

                I don't know casse...it was just an observation I made.....maybe a photo uploaded as a JPEG would solve the problem...I don't know for sure....perhaps someone else can chime in as to whether this is the cause.

                      LOL... mean Karnac, you just have to have been a part of this madness for the past week or so especially the Elite contest which began Wednesday when all of us even the ppl at Mallplace were pulling their hair out.

                      When I first addressed a problem with them their response was we had no idea this thing would be so huge. I could only respond, but you had David Archuleta in it, and don't you know about his fanbase.

                      We're trying everything so I'll try this as well. TY...[

                      so it's click his pic, then let that open, which takes forever, everything takes forever, then go back to the page with the pics and the "+" sign may be there. Okay roger wilco./b]

                        Guys, I placed this thread in my clubs messages and now a question to you:

                        Sometimes this counter will change and we can see the number turn over immediately however, other times it doesn't so we don't. So when we click that "+" and the number doesn't change does the vote get registered when we click and we don't need to see the change? By the way, if you vote the picture always darkens, then goes back to color, which I hope means the vote has been sent.

                        This ii more about when a vote is actually registered. TYG
                        If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                          I think the darkening of the photo indicates a vote has been entered/registered.....

                            I hope so Karnac, because we have gotta move some votes. Thanks guys I'll post back if more replies come in Any idea is appreciated.

                            Oh oh...Um, do you guys remember the movie "Groundhog Day"? Well, maybe you can tell me why when I click on this site which is in my favorites I have gotten the same page four times now today? These Even if the numbers changes when I vote. the next 20 minutes the same page will come up again with the same numbers. Is this also because of the band width of Mallplace? It's like I'm just wasting my time to see the same numbers all the time.

                                      Now you see ef, I knew you were being too good to be true. I am in such a foul mood about thi contest that for me to reply would shut this place down.

                                      I will say this...tell it to his label and his management.
                                      If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                                      You've got to be able to take the good with the bad...

                                      If I wasn't a nice guy or I would have you "shutting this place down."

                                      Anyway, it's not just you. Nobody is voting because the site is down.

                                        Someone, please tell me what this means:

                                        WEB SITE NOT RESPONDING

                                        Is it not responding to my ISP and if so, what can I do other than clean cookies? And why can some ppl use the site and others can't when this window opens?
                                        Thanks
                                        If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                                        Trust me. It's down for everyone and not just you. If someone says they are getting in they are either lying or have a magic trick.

                                        Here is another tool that says the same thing that the CH Is it up? tool says.

                                          What are you saying? I'm telling you people have been voting while I and others are getting this msg and have been during this entire process. That's why I asked if the site could be keeping certain isps from voting either by not displaying the "+" sign or causing the WSNR sign to appear. I'm not a comp wiz, that's why I'm asking you guys.
                                          If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                                            Patio, you know how I value your opinion as well as all of the guys here, even ef. But we (my fan club) have been emailing for the past four days about this thing. Some of us are getting this msg while others are voting and seeing the numbers change with their votes. The numbers on the counters are constantly going up so the site is responding.

                                            Right now some ppl are voting while other are getting msges saying the web site... or the address is wrong. Trust me on that. Are you saying the site is tricking us all into thinking we're voting when we're not?

                                            You can't get in but ppl are in there voting.

                                            Please answer my previous question about the "Web Site Not Responding...

                                            I even tried with a few different proxies. It's not a working site at this time.

                                            Googling around a little I wouldn't be in a big hurry to get there anyway. Looks like a spammer/spyware haven...

                                              Thats the same site. The whole web site is not working.

                                              This is the main site https://mallplace.com

                                              The tweeterwall address is just a page, or maybe a subdomain within that web site. If you can't get to the main site (domain) then you can't get to the rest of it either.

                                              Edit: Thats a very crude description of a website but I think it is accurate enough for how this one works.  :P

                                                Okay, ef, this site is open to voters from around the world and right now the thousands of tweeters have been limited to 100 and so millions of ppl are trying to vote. The hours are dwindling down to 7 in the morn.

                                                So maybe that spam to you.

                                                Patio, thanks for trying to help I'll just go back  and keep trying, It''' let me in sooner or later. And after tomorrow Mallplace will wish they had never done this contest. Don't start with me EF...Please

                                                Readng the added msg from ef... do you want some of the ppl who are voting to contact you. I'm telling you they are voting in there. they say it is slow and the numbers change slowly but they do get the "+" sign and they do see the number change. I'm just not able to help David. SHUT UP EF.

                                                If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                                                Don't worry, I said all I was going to about him.

                                                The server is located in the UK and the web site in Germany. (I'm pretty sure)

                                                If you are not in that country then that could be part of the problem. It could be bottlenecked, but I doubt his votes alone are what has it jammed up. There are a bunch of these same polls or whatever they are hosted there.

                                                But like I said I even tried a few different proxies and it was down to them also.

                                                  Thanks ef, I know some of that. Please what does this mean, concerning http and https...It's an excerpt from my email. As I said we have been going back and forth for days about this site.

                                                  ===========

                                                  Sally:  This link uses an “https” prefix rather than the usual “http” prefix.  I wrote Minna a bit earlier about this, and here’s the email I received just a few moments ago in response to my attached question:

                                                   

                                                  hey Katheryn,

                                                  I get server errors anywhere I try to enter the mallplace.com site. Their service provider is probably unhappy with them at the moment. ;-)

                                                  As for the https site, mallplace.com SELLS stuff and needs a secure server for that, but I don't know why they would assign secure connection to a simple voting page. Secure pages load a lot slower than regular web pages. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol to transfer encrypted data over the Web. Information is sent in encrypted form, not as plain text. Therefore, a 'sniffer' can't surreptiously retrieve it. But voting fans aren't sending such info, so security is not required.

                                                  If someone gets into the https site at mallplace.com -- I'm getting network errors -- they ought to make sure that the URL wasn't redirected to another site. Keep your eye on the browser's status bar as the website loads. Look for the word 'redirect'. I doubt if this is happening.

                                                  Hope you had a nice weekend.

                                                  http is what most websites use and https is a secure server. For websites that sell stuff. It's kind of like a firewall only for websites.

                                                  That link is plastered all over MySpace, Twitter and so on. I'm pretty sure it's a "pay for click" site. Meaning they don't care about the people visiting. Any traffic they can get makes them money and they are likely exploiting emails and maybe even selling them. I would be very wary about what information they want from you.

                                                    lol...pay per click? Excuse me for laughing believe me it's through my anger. I'm s furious I could spit bullets. So you mean that for each of those numbers in each of those countries they maybe getting paid? So they could care less about this contest. It's a front.

                                                    Excuse me again, my skin is crawling. Okay here is something else, yo touched upon this ef.

                                                    This site is running this type of contest in each of the countries rep, by flags in the top of the page. So is each of those countires on a different or same server prolly? because I can access a lesser contest but not the big Elite one that has 100 entrants.

                                                    And EF this was a convo between two other ladies. But you're cute to say that.

                                                    it uses SSL but it's certificate is self-signed, meaning it's basically worthless:



                                                    Making things more interesting, I did a search for "plesk" via google, to find out what it was. It's a signing authority.

                                                    But, I think what's happening here, is a "sample" from plesk is being used on the active web-site. What it boils down to is that, even though it is using the https protocol, it isn't secure at all. They probably would do this in order to "trick" people into thinking it's safe to enter personal information, but I'm just speculating.
                                                    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

                                                      Plesk is not a certification authority - it's a server/domain management tool.  It can generate SSL certificates.  ISPs often provide Plesk as a control panel for their customers.

                                                      Kind of makes me even suspicious also. There is no need to secure the server like that for polls.

                                                      People's peace of mind, maybe? Depending on how important that poll actually is, maybe an SSL connection would be necessary.

                                                      Plesk is not a certification authority - it's a server/domain management tool.  It can generate SSL certificates.  ISPs often provide Plesk as a control panel for their customers.

                                                      Thanks Rob! So what does this mean, then? If the certificate is intended for "plesk" and is being used by this other site?

                                                        Hey again guys, I truly apprecite the feedback you guys are giving and though it may be , well no maybe, it is, over my head. It seems to have opened up dialogue for you guys. Maybe you can help other from this.

                                                        Okay about this Mallplace competition being in Snarkey's: This event is posted in all of David's sites. I mean that's what the owners do, they support David. So find this thing being plastered all over the net. And don't forget the other countries who have home people and are posting this event in their sites. So this thing is all over the net, not just in DJA sites.

                                                        I mean it's about tweeters.

                                                        So if they set this event up to make money, unless I have no idea how much one click brings, they should be breaking banks all over. But is this different from say Amazon or ebay or other sites where ppl buy and sell or just accept posts? Isn't the Internet just a great big ole money making venture for those who wish to make a profit. Isn't Zwinky a money making scheme? haha Don't ppl buy and sell ad space like TV? My DJA FanBlast site is plastered with ads.

                                                        Okay now a piece of business. Would someone please tell me the difference between "Click" and "Double Click". Why does it matter?
                                                        If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                                                        Do you know the term 'wolf in sheeps clothing'

                                                        I can only say this one way and I'll only say it one time.

                                                        It is a scam site.

                                                        All they want is money and traffic and don't give a *censored* about you David or anyone else. They are using his mane and fake polls to generate money for themselves. Believe that or don't. Your choice.

                                                          EF, I hear you. That's not the point really. Have you ever been an active fan or supporter of an artist? Have any of you to the point that you get what we are doing here?

                                                          Now on to another matter. This is a message from Mallplace about Would you advise me to try this? Do you foresee me creating more problems than solving them if I do try changing. Or should I just sit tight and wait for the change.

                                                          EF I'll send you a PM if you really don't get David's fan club.  Thanks everyone.

                                                          I'm sure everyone gets what being a fan is all about so yes, I understand. I also know there is a difference in being a fan and being fanatic.

                                                          Now let me ask this. Do you think David would encourage his fans to put themselves at risk of identity theft or being scammed in any way? His official web site is where his fan club is based. These other sites are cashing in on his name. Most likely without his permission. So ultimately you are (in my opinion) not helping him but rather hurting his good name that he has worked very hard for by supporting these scam artists. Do you think it's fair that they are making money with his name and he doesn't see a dime of it?

                                                          Your intentions are good. The intentions of this web site are far from good...

                                                          One other little bit of info.

                                                          Remember I said this web site is in Germany? American Idol season (don't know which season he was) is now being aired in Germany. They are seeing it for the first time. Do you see the connection now as to why they are (illegally) promoting his name? He is brand new there.

                                                          You would do him a better service by outing these scam sites instead of supporting them.

                                                            Why are you arguing with me about this? Twitter has millions of customers, any of them are entered into this thing not just David, I just trust you guys enough to have brought this to your attention. And EF you didn't address my question.

                                                            David himself has not tweeted about this contest, David never asks us to support anything that his name goes on except charity work. We keep telling ppl, this is not David, it's us, his support. We are promoting/supporting his name. Mallplace, whatever they are doing are also promoting him by simply posting his name and pic.

                                                            Please answer my question. If you want to debate this, later, okay.

                                                            I just read you add-on: EF, again, when this thing started there were pps and pps and pps of names. Each page had at least 100 pics of tweeters. David isn't being singles out. My God have you see some of the names in the 100. Oprah was one of the pics EF. Please don't single out DJA. If you are a twitter mem and tweet a lot someone may have added you.

                                                            A) Substitute his name with any of the others that are or were on the list.

                                                            B) You trust us but only when it's what you want to hear... I'm placing you in the fanatic category. ;)

                                                            I fail to see the actual question...

And EF I do trust what you say and respect it but can I get the same treatment in return. Can you just respect what I do without putting me or David's base down for supporting him. We support him in anyting not just this thing.

                                                                And I wanted to know about DNS or whatever it is. Should I try and change it myself or wait for my ISP to switch over. I have no idea what it is or if I could do damage by trying to make the switch myself. But forget that I even asked. I'll wait.

                                                                And EF, the term you so flippantly use "fanatic", is the term that won David a TCA for having the most FANATIC FANS. However, when you use it, it seems to go beyond devotion and is why we fought TCA tooth and nail to change the cat to Most Devoted Fans.

                                                                And our dedication to this man makes us work our little fingers to the bone voting for him. Yes, he's that speacial a human being. And trust me EF, if you were a fan of his your fingers would be working as well.
                                                                If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

The site seems to be in some kind of transition anyway. And they have removed David from everything except the USA. So I'm guessing they feel e is creating most of the bottlenecking.

                                                                  Are you btw, saying David's base are perverts? As I said previously, Mallplace isn't using us any more than we are them. It's a mutually beneficial thing. Have you ever heard that even bad publicity is good. Come one EF. It's all a game.

B because you don't know anything about this young man you just make assumptions based on what you may read in an on line article. I watched this young man when he was just a kid on Star Search, he was a great kid then with a powerful voice. He lost that voice then God constructed a totally new one for him and he entered AI where he did splendidly. His voice is lowering because God is still working with him. He lost his voice again during his solo tour in the spring. After the first show, God changed it again. David performs with incredible odds against him, and why shouldn't we admire his work ethic as well as his character?

                                                                    You see EF there are those of us who are so responsive to this man because we see so much good in him not just his voice this is a blessed human being. Something the world needs so much, As for me, I don't think Music is what God has in mind for David. I think it goes way beyond that, but time will tell. This man is in love with his music but he is capable of so much more and that is why we suppport him so. I told my two sons (who are much older than David) that he is their new brother. If he were indeed my child, I couldn't love him more. And EF that is how all of us feel about David James Archuleta... all of us. Now if that is perversion, then call me perverse.

                                                                    People please forgive my rant...today just isn't a good day or I'm in sleep deprivation.

Something the world needs so much, As for me, I don't think Music is what God has in mind for David. I think it goes way beyond that, but time will tell. This man is in love with his music but he is capable of so much more and that is why we suppport him so. I told my two sons (who are much older than David) that he is their new brother. If he were indeed my child, I couldn't love him more. And EF that is how all of us feel about David James Archuleta... all of us. Now if that is perversion, then call me perverse.

                                                                    Quote

                                                                    HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIM! He's talking about the voting site, NOT started by him but rather by some people trying to PROFIT off of his fans, such as yourself, by making them believe that the results of some twitter poll will have far-reaching effects.

                                                                    He tells you it's a scam site, taking advantage of this fellow, who you like very much.

                                                                    you turn around and say something about "us loyal fans" at "mallplace" or something, and it makes no sense at all!

                                                                    but, here's the bottom line anyway, even if the site was legit- the votes don't mean a *censored* thing. it's twitter for god's sake. And American Idol, Or any of it's country-specific spin-off's, I consider no better then Survivor, for entertainment value or otherwise.

                                                                      Okay BC_again, if the state of Maryland wanted to run a lottery, they would it's a scam because only a few or maybe one will win, but they buy tickets anyway. This site, wanted to make money apart from their on-line store so they ran this competition. Who cares? They're making money and David Archuleta's name goes up in sites all around the world.

                                                                      David had not said one tweet about vote for me, like others have. We are the ones who are supporting him. If this were SU2C we would support him there to or Invisible Children, or any of the other charities where his name is linked. It's what we do. Don't you get that. We support whatever his name is linked to. Now when I go back and tell my club they are supporting a scam site. what do you think they'll do? I have mentioned to them already about the  site's click and earn. None of them have stopped supporting David yet. They don't care about that. They care about promoting David to the general public, and backing the name David James Archuleta.

                                                                      You act as though David's family or label or Managers don't know about this thing. None of them have said to Mallplace remove the name David Archuleta. It's promotion.  Man you guys wear me out.

                                                                      I hear EF, I have since he said this was a site making money long ago, but he/she refuses to hear what I'm saying. Bernard madoff, made off with millions from people, they had no idea they were being scammed. For the ppl whose names are being used here, If they're being scammed and they want to sue they will. But they are also being promoted. Trade-off. Sites on line either mostly make or pay money. Doesn't CH? If you don't have to pay for anything how lucky you are. But do you make money? And if so does that make CH a scam site.

                                                                      Quote

                                                                      Adding further to this is the fact that the people running mallplace.com are or were known spammers. Likely they are selling the personal information to not only other spam sites but also identity thieves.


                                                                      IT's the FANS that are being LEECHED for personal information! Why else would they want you change your DNS? there is no "innocent" reason to ask you to do so.

                                                                      My browser wouldn't even let me go there without skipping through a warning about it's SSL certificate.

And even if it isn't that there is something deeper, as indicated by your query regarding DNS. if CH makes any money it's through advertisements. advertiser's pay to have their advertisements displayed on the CH main page. the people seeing those advertisements choose wether they want to not only examine the ads in more detail (via the links) but also wether they want to buy them. In this case, chances are voters are never asked "can we vend your personal information to any third party willing ot pay us for it?"


                                                                      There is a difference between loyal fans and brainless sheep. most people like david want loyal fans, not brainless sheep willing to give out their personal information to what they believe is a good cause, while subsequently unaware, not only that the vote doesn't matter anyway, since it's twitter- it's not changing anything... but  also that any personal information they reveal may be sold to any interested third parties.

                                                                      Basically, they are banking on what you said- that you'll support anything with his name, regardless of wether or wether or not he gave his personal approval.

                                                                      the trade-off isn't between being scammed and promoting his name. it's trading the personal information of thousands, maybe millions of fans, for the meaningless votes on some random twitter vote.


                                                                      It's a web-site. it can't change the world. Continue supporting your idol, but please stop being brainless sheep followers while doing it. it's a web-based poll for god's sake.

                                                                          You people can be so darned condescending. This morning I wanted to ask your opinion on this message from the webmaster at Mallplace.
                                                                          ======

                                                                          I did contact the webmaster & got this message back from him:

                                                                          “Due to the success of the tweeter competitions, we have had to move hosting companies as our previous host was unable to support the level of traffic we were experiencing. Although the move has been completed, it will take a few hours while your Internet Service Provider updates their records to point to our new servers.

                                                                          Only follow these steps if you are comfortable changing settings on your computer -
                                                                          If you don't wish to wait until your ISP catches up, and you are comfortable and capable to do so, you could change your DNS settings for your computer to OpenDNS by following the steps outlined on this page https://www.opendns.com/start/ and then clear the cache on your browser.”

                                                                          So MAYBE now the problems getting in to that site are over??"

                                                                          =======

                                                                          I finally got a reply from one of you to not mess with it. SO I said fine. I won't. You continue to address the fact that you think I can't read. I was told many post ago that you think the SITE is a spam site. That not only is it getting paid on each click but garnering info on those you Register there. So I wanted to know what's the difference in this site and so many other just like it who scam/spam their members. You might or might not be surprised at who might or might not sell info that you simply show a card to at a club. When you buy shoes or pay for a hair cut with a card. So scamming and trading info is what ppl do.

                                                                          I doubt that the internet is filled to the brim with mindless twits. No not everyone is a computer geek, not not all of us are idiots either. So the site is scamming all of those people for their personal info. How many sites don't get and trade into? When you log onto a site you take your chances.

                                                                          And yes, I got way back there that the site wasn't scamming David, in spite of what appeared to be. None of David's fans or fans of any of the other people on this site and voting seem to have a problem with the site being a scam site. I tell you what. you go on there and comment that it is and see who says, I'm leaving and telling others not to reg. here. Or write to the webmaster to decry the site as a scammer.

                                                                          Leave it up to whatever group monitors that art of the net. As for me and my club we are supporting David.

                                                                          As for this David Mallplace the scammer issue. I'm done with it.
                                                                          If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                                                                          Good luck!
