    War is coming!!!
    with all it’s glory,and all it’s horror.
    Hell it’s about time!

    Epicness is about more then grabbing a huge sword and slaying thousands of monsters… don’t forget about the tales told of heroes and legends, of big wars and jo…urneys for peace.

    Think about all the people you have fought for, the comrades beeing with you, the friends you lost in battle, or the glorious moments of victory.

    Honor all of these moments and vote for Scott Herman as raining sky in summer >>

    Based on the unusually high voting numbers I would conclude this voting process is rigged and majorly flawed. The numbers are not in line with the three prior voting sessions. The web page allows multiple voting by the same person. Granted the page loads slow so as to discourage it, but the recent increase in votes is impossible when you know it takes so long to reload the page in order to cast an additional vote. A more secure voting method would not allow multiple votes from the same browser, computer, ip address more than 5 times a day. We must conclude that we do not know the truly selected person as winner.

    Homorazzi, it appears you have a fraudulent scheme going. I am saddened to see that. If the integrity of your site has been compromised, your credibility has been damaged, I would say, beyond repair.

    Or maybe you don’t have a good enough voting system set up and it’s allowing others to cheat. Whatever the case, this competition should be declared null and void—winnerless.

    You know, if you guys had played it a little cooler you could have gotten your man to win if he needed a little boost, and no one would have been the wiser.

    But when you stuff the ballot box in huge, impossible, and greedy ways that entirely rule out a fair and clean contest, it’s obvious to any thinking person that this is a sham.

    Anyone who cries sour grapes isn’t thinking and hasn’t been watching.

23. Guncle JP
    January 2nd, 2011 at 11:49 pm

    

    TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT THINK THIS IS FAKE… I CAN TELL YOU THAT IS ALL REAL… SCOTT HERMAN HAS A VERY LARGE FOLLOWING OF OVER 45,000.00 HERMANITES AND THESE HERMANITES WILL ALWAYS BACK A MAN WHO GIVES BACK TO A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS HIM. HE GIVE IS TIME AND SELF TO HELP OTHERS REACH THEIR FITNESS GOALS AND HE DOES THIS MOSTLY FOR FREE…
    WHEN SCOTT HERMAN ASKED HIS COMMUNITY TO HELP WITH VOTING IN THIS CONTEST WE WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP BECAUSE THAT WHAT HERMANITES DO, HELP EACH OTHER OUT… MAYBE YOU SHOULD ALL LOOK INTO BECOMING APART OF THIS WICKED COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS EACH OTHER AND IS LEADER, SCOTT HERMAN.

24. Gerry Dee
    January 3rd, 2011 at 12:04 am

    

    Well, Capital Letter Person, I know Scott does have the large following you mention, but the thing is that the voting is proceding at a faster clip than the system could handle if it was an honest system. How many supporters Scott has or doesn’t have is immaterial. Find yourself an IT expert and look into it. You’ll be forced to agree.

    so all 45,000 HERMANITES as u call them (lmao) or NATION! whatever…anyways all 45,000 took lunch at the same time?

    BTW dont forget That MR NATION um is living it up with a married woman who has a young child who is also nearly half of Scotts age…lmao SICK! and if u dont belive me check the MASS.

    I feel duped that I spent so many hours voting for my favorite. What a joke! As a friend consoled me, “Afterall, it is a gay site, you should have known you’d get it up the ass!”

    “Honesty IS the best policy.”

30. Mia

    Dear Homorazzi,

    I, along with many others, spent many, many hours voting for our favorite guy during the weeks of the Man Crush Showdown.

    It is most unfortunate that during the final day or so of voting, that the votes were rigged or somehow being electronically manipulated.

    I’m certain that IF you were to have this looked into, by a professional and experienced IT person, this would be confirmed as true.

    I ‘know’ it is true, as I have all the evidence I need. To say your Man Crush Showdown is anything other than a sham or a fraud, destroys and and all credibiltiy Homorazzi ever had.

    It was ludicrous to begin with to allow the voting totals to be visible, while the voting was active. Only one of the final contestants (Scott Herman, who will inevitably be crowned your fraudulent winner) was tweeting and facebook messaging each and every time he wasn’t #1 in an effort to gain more votes. With the exception of the final day, when SH was behind over 2,000 votes and somehow must have ‘known’ the fix was ‘in’. Because he no longer felt the need to ask his facebook or twitter followers for votes.
    Is it safe to assume that SH has an IT expert amongst his 44,000+ FB followers that assured him the fix was in? IMO, those odds are pretty darn good.

    How is that in any way fair to the other contestants, who probably are too busy working to be pandering for votes? As indicated by some of the comments left, many of us are very aware that this Man Crush Showdown was nothing but a fraud.

    How unfortunate for those of us who spent hours upon hours of our holiday season, wasting our valuable time, voting in a fraudulent contest.

    IMO, Homorazzi has lost any and all credibilty that ever existed.

    Quoted from above of Donovan’s, “Make sure to vote for your favorite and vote often. Voting ends Monday Jan 3, 2011 when the winners will be announced 9am PST.”

    Donovan, it is 9:23am PST! At 9:20am PST my votes were still being accepted. Hello? Hello? Anybody Home? DONOVAN?

    January 3rd, 2011 at 12:36 pm

    

    Right on, Mia. Why are votes still being accepted at 12:30 PM EST when the winner was supposed to be announced at Noon Eastern time?

    What’s with you homorazzi people and your poorly conducted illegitimate contests?

    WOOOOOOOOW! I can’t believe how serious people are taking thing? You do realize that the winner of this contest doesn’t get anything and that chances are half of these guys haven’t even heard of homorazzi.

    It’s a poll for nothing really. I think everyone needs to relax a bit.

    January 3rd, 2011 at 2:07 pm

    

    Tommy D, I think you’re missing the point. You probably wouldn’t be so nonchalant if you’d wasted a huge amount of your time voting for your favorite, would you? I feel duped and sure wish I’d never heard of Homorazzi!

37. Guncle JP
    January 3rd, 2011 at 2:39 pm

    

    Time to move on Mia and get yourself a real life! You’re the one who wasted your time… No one forced you to vote! And if you hate Homorazzi so much then why do you keep coming back and posting on their site?

38. Dazza
    January 3rd, 2011 at 2:54 pm

    

    I have to say that I think TommyD has hit the nail right on the head. I thought this was just a bit of fun. No one has won a sackload of money based on this, no one has been elected to some elevated position.

    I think they were all pretty hot, to be honest …

    As far as I know, this is a public site and I’ll stick around until I decide to leave and no longer post. How about you going ahead and minding your own damn business, Guncle JP? Maybe you ought to head on back to school, boy! Obviously you flunked reading comprehension! No where did I state that I “hated” Homorazzi. So enough of you and your trying to put words in my mouth.

    January 3rd, 2011 at 3:58 pm

    

    @Mia boo hoo you hurt my feelings! lol
    And by you posting on this public site (your words) you made it my business! These are your words “I feel duped and sure wish I’d never heard of Homorazzi!” So there you have it… So if you wished you never heard of this site then take action from your words and forget it and move on… Please nobody likes a winer!

    Im Glad scott One & to Be Fair It was Always Betweenn him & Matt lanter.

    This was a Contest that the winner does not win a thing. Its a popularity Contest that’s all. Scott has over 45,000 Fans On his Face Book fan page plus others so i don’t find that he got so high numbers concerning. It Makes sense To Me. Matt Lanter also got huge Numbers. both did so Cause they got huge fan bases.

    I find It funny that some here are also tearing scott Down for whom his GF is. First off do you Live with them or hang around with them? If not than maybe one shouldnt make assumptions about their personal relationship.

    Anyway congrats Scott. Very Well deserved, IMHO

    This is my favourite comment thread ever. It’s incredible how something that means absolutely nothing can cause so much drama.

    Besides, Charlie Williams is the best looking. But do you see me FREAKING out over him have like 1500 votes…no.

    Thanks for the laughs though!

    JOhn, while I don’t live with them I live close enough … I don’t need to hang around with them because actions speak louder than words.ANy woman who would choose to walk out on her marriage and family for another man or in this case “boy” tells me all I need to know… I have no use for people like that and would rather not support one who condones it. I guess if they were so concerned about what people were going to say about thier “relationship” they should not have posted it on SHF.

    “This is my favourite comment thread ever. It’s incredible how something that means absolutely nothing can cause so much drama. ”

    you are right the only thing he gained by winning is the most desired by gay men…LOL WOW HOW LUCKY!!! unless of course he is a closeted homeosexual?????

    Why are people freaking out over this thing? I don’t get it. Its a poll.

    Is Mia upset because she realized she wasted her own time by voting in a poll, where the winner would win nothing??

    **ALARM** Call the Internet police, find an IT firm to audit the votes….recount, recount… GEEZ. Settle down lady, the world is still spinning, and frankly all these dudes are hot. LOL

    There is no homorazzi conspiracy to screw with anyone, just take a few deep breaths, pry yourself away from the internet for a second, pet your cats, write in your journal and calm yourself down.

    “This is my favourite comment thread ever. It’s incredible how something that means absolutely nothing can cause so much drama.”

    Tommy, you know this pales in comparison to the response you would have seen if anyone else had manipulated the vote and Scott Herman had lost because of it. He’d be all up in arms, summoning up his masses to protest your site! Everyone knows the gays are extremely organized about voicing their opinions when they have been wronged.

    “Besides, Charlie Williams is the best looking. But do you see me FREAKING out over him have like 1500 votes…no.”

    You should have spent 80 to 100 hours voting!
    Maybe your guy would have won or at least placed higher! lol

    Embellish much, Tommy? I don’t really see anyone “FREAKING out” here.

    “Thanks for the laughs though!”

    Fantastic that you were able to get some laughs!
    Laughter is the best medicine, after all!

    True, there was no cash or any other type of tangible prize awarded the winner of this poll, but something probably even more valuable was obtained by the highest vote-getter—bragging rights. Winning this thing will look pretty darn good on a professional “resume”. Self-promotion is the name of the game.

    Anyone who doesn’t think there is a commercial pay-off in winning this type of popularity poll is being naive.

    Do you think Scott, as he bills himself as the Man Crush 2010 Showdown Finals winner, is going to mention that the voting was flawed and that he didn’t win fair and square? I’m kinda doubtin’ it.

    And the second place winner, who might have liked to have had a shot at some bragging rights, too—and who knows, maybe a little career boost—will never know if he would have won in a fair fight. The top two vote-getters were neck and neck much of the time until the wild ballot box stuffing kicked in, so it was unfair to guy #2.

    We might think of a poll like this as a bit of meaningless fun, but to the ones participating there is turf to be gained.

    ohhhh geez…

    Let’s see.. it specifically says at the top..

    “Make sure to vote for your favorite and vote often. Voting ends Monday Jan 3, 2011 when the winners will be announced 9am PST.”

    Now that I know the website is encouraging it’s viewers to “VOTE OFTEN” let’s see how good my math is.

    hrmmmmmmmmmmm

    If all of my 44,000+ Community Members (not fans) on facebook voted twice… that would equal….

    88,000+ votes…

    My total votes at the end of the contest was..77,704 TOTAL votes.

    *Thinks really hard*

    Seriously, this was supposed to be fun. Relax, enjoy life… maybe even play some Halo: Reach ;)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeA7rQf9Z3k

    PS: My total community on YouTube is 64,000+

    *Thinks really hard again*

    I know that a lot of my community members spent a lot of time voting on here to help me win the contest. I would like to personally thank you for showing such an amazing amount of support.

    My prize for winning this contest? A reminder of that special place in my heart that is filled with the love and support of my community that keeps me going one day at a time. <3

    This has nothing to do with the subject anymore, cause winning something like this by spamming your followers doesn’t make you the best looking one, it just makes you someone who’s overly competative. I don’t think many of the others would keep on asking people to vote for him several times a day. don’t get me wrong, Scott is a nice guy and inspiring, but to me, this just seems a littlebit sad!

56. Erik
    January 4th, 2011 at 4:26 am

    

    @Scott… sorry dude, but the spamming is the reason I stopped following you. it just started to become a call for attention and losing grip on reality a bit. you are doing great things, I know that, but you can overdo it.

57. Marcus Smith
    January 4th, 2011 at 5:29 am

    

    wow, talk about tall poppy syndrome!

    Scott Herman won this competition and he encouraged his supporters to visit this website and vote for him.

    The worldwide exposure and the amount of internet traffic that this site has obtained because of Scott Herman is massive!

    I am proud to be a Hermanite and I spent hours voting for scott, and I know many others that did also.

    Congratulations Scott! You are a very worthy winner.

58. Darko
    January 4th, 2011 at 7:05 am

    

    Everyone who complained about this poll being “rigged” should read Scott Herman’s comment and for fuck sake it says “vote as often as you like”. This means that there are unlimited votes. Now would you losers get a fucking life and stop complaining. Look, you made me use bad language :(.
    On a lighter note, Go Scott woop woop Hermanites Unite!

59. Mike Sarzo
    January 4th, 2011 at 7:25 am

    

    Once again, I remind everyone of the instructions of this poll.

    Vote often.

    Those conditions were the same for ALL the contestants, no matter whom we the voters felt most deserved to be the Man Crush for 2010. Matt Lanter fans, Henry Cavill fans, Scott Herman fans, etc., all had the same opportunities to vote for their guy.

    In the long run, what’s the significance of winning this contest? Is there some crown akin to the tiaras worn by Miss America, Miss Teen USA or Miss Universe? Is there some huge pile of cash?

    No. All this contest was is a bit of fun, a chance for us to drool over men that few of us would ever kick out of our beds if we found them there. With respect to Erik’s comment about Scott “spamming” us to vote here, none of us were forced here. Those of us who voted or “power-voted” in some cases did so by choice. It’s a simple way for us to give back to someone who has done so much for so many of us, and the only things it cost us were a few moments of our time and a few clicks of the mouse.

    The guys who made it this far all look great. A couple of them even have homo credentials. Let’s take this contest for what it is: A chance for us to have fun checking out the men who got our pulses racing a bit more in 2010.

    I congratulate Scott on his victory, but I also congratulate all the competitors for getting this far.

60. John Walter Seip
    January 4th, 2011 at 8:41 am

    

    It Does Say To vote Often And Im sorry But There Is Nothing Wrong with Scott Herman Using His FB which Is His Own page to promote a contest he made the finals and ASKING his fans to Vote. Scott ASKED Not DEMANDED. I believe I Voted three times in the total of a week

    Whay are those that are upset only targeting Scott, Second place finisher, Matt Lanter Got Over 51, ooo Votes.

    That is also because his vans voted Often like this site asks you to do.

    Sorry No Fraud here

    Sorry for those who spent hours voting for their man crush who do not win but thats the nature of the game

    But wait if you spent hours voting doesnt that mean you voted often, but wait that means you voted more than once, but wait you just blasted all the Scott Herman fans For the same thing you did but your guy didnt win the poll. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

61. John Walter Seip
    January 4th, 2011 at 8:51 am

    

    I also Love How people who know nothing about someone who won this poll and have admitted used his personal relationship or what they think they know of it by Court Documents they saw on a website as their “Actions”as a way to define who He Is and His GF Too. Condeming those without knowing the story behind things just makes One assume things and we know what is said about those who make assumptions.

    So Maybe before you judge folks who you don’t know should ask yourself what if someone judged me by something they saw on the nnet which wasnt a true repersenative of who I am. How would you feel?

62. Chia Pet
    January 4th, 2011 at 10:19 am

    

    Scott, we know you have the requisite number of “hermanites” or followers, or disciples, or kool-aid drinkers, to theoretically have gotten the job done, and you also know, or should know, that however few or however many of them voted for you is beside the point.

    This site accepted three votes per minute per user, and it knows the pc address from which the votes come. BUT proxy software was set up to counteract this, so that a new ip was seen with every vote. Ring a bell, dsome1? You were one of the offenders. You registered fifty votes per minute. How does that compare with the three votes per minute allowed? I would call that “voting often” all right.

    Restated, proxies were used to fake new ip addies. Homorazzi has to either know this or be behind it. If not, they are asleep at the wheel/failed grade school reasoning.

    OK, Scott and others, if you have any common sense at all, you can see by the impossible numbers the system handled that there was dirty work afoot by dsome1 and likely others.

    Let me repeat something I said above: I know Scott does have the large following you mention, but the thing is that the voting was proceding at a faster clip than the system could handle if it was an honest system/being used honestly. How many supporters Scott has or doesn’t have is immaterial. Find yourself an IT expert and look into it. You’ll be forced to agree.

    Ok lets take a look at some of the facts from an out gay male, after all this IS a gay oriented internet publication. While not exclusive gay males are the target audience. The title of the contest is “2010 man crush showdown.” From my perspective if the voting was left to just voting on a photograph of a man it would be a contest on the quality of the photograph.

    Thanks for the kind words Marcus, Darko, Mike, John, and Paul. :) I really appreciate the time you took to write them and they meant a lot to me.

    As for Chia Pet…. putting a bunch of big words in a paragraph doesn’t mean that we should believe the BS you are spewing.

    I voted for myself probably 6-10 times a day as a means to check out the results of the ongoing competition as this was the only way how.

    “BUT proxy software was set up to counteract this, so that a new ip was seen with every vote. Ring a bell, dsome1? You were one of the offenders. You registered fifty votes per minute.”

    lolololololololololol

    As for Erik, I am sorry you feel that way my friend. I hope in time you come back to the community as 2011 is going to be a great year for fitness! :)

    See you!

    Now let me understand this, Scott. You voted for yourself 6-10 times a day and that was your system of checks and balances? I’m kinda thinkin’ I know why you thought those were big words.

    I see that you opted for a string of half-weak looking lol’s and called it good rather than going out on a limb and saying the poll was solid as a rock. Good choice.

    If I were you, I’d have opted for the lol’s, too. Even though this poll wasn’t the big deal to end all big deals, if you declared it fair and somebody decided to expose the machinations that went on behind the scene, you would end up with egg on your face for all your worshippers to see, and that would not be a pretty sight.

    It means no limits on honest voting, JWS. It doesn’t mean no limits on the amount of proxy software you set up to counteract the honest voting. Obviously you have not really looked at the situation.

    I will ignore your kind advice about getting on with my life since I have put in my eight hours on the job today and find my life is moving along okay. It only took four minutes to let you know that your logic is sorry.

    Chia Pet and Mia sound like the same person to me.

    and yes, people are freaking out sugar. You guys are just not letting it go.

    first of all Scott probably won because he was one of the only ones who knew about this contest and actually promoted himself. So kudos to him for being in touch with social media and doing what he needed to do to win.

    **Notice that he is the only one posting on this thread about it**

    It would’ve been interested to see if there was only a 1 vote per person rule. Though.

    Moving on…

    Mia and Chia Pet are two different people.

    Whether Scott used the social media or spent his time knitting a nose warmer for himself is beside the point. A system that took only 3 votes per minute from your ip or mine took 50 per minute from somebody else’s. I can connect those dots.

    Glad to see you’re moving on, Tommy D.

    Tommy I Kindsa wonder what It Would Be like If Voting Was Limited But Like Scott wsaid He Has Over 65,ooo fans on Youtube and Matt lanter got over 50,000 which was way impressive given that third place only got 12k and no one seems to question The results For Matt Lanter

    Hmmm

    Chia

    Unless You Are Affliated With Or Work For This Site, How are you able to Know How Many Votes Came From An IP address. Are You Hacking Into The results to see where the votes are coming from. Cause If you are, you know thats illegal. And If You work For This Site, wouldnt It Be I dont Know Unethical to participate In a contest That your Work sponsors?

    I Just Cant figure Out How else You would “know” all This about what each IP address Did

    Trust me, I know. I do not work for this site. I did not hack.

    Matt’s votes were within reasonable limits and are not in question. Scott’s votes on the last day of the polling were verifiably not possible.

    Reasonable Limits Lol You make it seem like we were electing POTUS

    Look this was a fun contest and it was based on popularity and Scott Promoted this on his sites and his fans voted for him so his votes were also reasonable

    Once again sorry that your man crush didnt win but Im sure even though Scott & His Fans are happy he won they wouldnt go on here complaining about IP Addresses and Voting Behavior and badmouthing the winner if Scott had lost

    Your assumption that I have a man crush is not correct.

    I am pretty sure that among Scott’s fans there would have been plenty who would have cried foul if he had lost due to fraud, and rightly so.

    No Fraud Here

    Is this your site? You seem awfully interested in defending it. If you were to analyze the votes that came in during the last day and a half and focus not on how many persons could have potentially voted, but rather on how many votes the system could handle per time period, that would be eye-opening. There is a limit to how much voting access a site can manage, especially a slow-loading site like this one.
