Introducing simplicitypvp.net/vote

Votes on the forum are too much of a hassle to mess with, it's just too annoying having to use phpbb for votes. So from now on votes will be carried out at
http://simplicitypvp.net/vote
There votes are automatically tallied up, and everything is saved in plaintext, which is inefficient for large databases needed for say forums, but very efficient if your an admin who needs to quickly change some stuff/revert votes/etc.
I haven't made any login/account system for it (yet; might come if we need to do a bunch of votes), so anybody can go there and vote. This does mean that the votes counted are not necessarily the correct amount, if say Bob votes 10 times for Yes then the computer will just count and show all 10 votes for Yes, it won't be til I notice the votes that it'll be reverted and the actual amount of votes will be shown. I will try and go through new votes everyday, but I can't promise that it'll constantly be an accurate amount of votes shown. I can however promise that all votes will be reviewed by the end of the vote, so no double votes will effect the outcome of the vote.
As no account system has been made, you can only change your vote manually, this is done quite simply by sending a private message here stating you want to change your vote to whatever you want it changed to, and exactly what your ingame name is in case your forum name is different.
Additionally I will be making the page look better and so on over time (I need to add some more text, explanations, link to main suggestion thread, bar between both sides, whatever I can think of), so it may be bugged/down for short durations while I work at it.
Accidental double-votes will result in only the extra votes being reverted, intentional double-votes will result in all your votes being reverted (essentially mis-using the system will result in you losing the right to vote).
Right, guess that about covers it, happy voting :D
