Will he make it?
 

This thread is an extention to the "World Cup 2006" thread. This dude had a bet with a friend that she'll run naked in the World Cup finals (July 9) if his site gets 5 million hits by then http://www.sonjaswette.com/index_en.html

Well the web site crashed, so who pressed refresh a few million times? :D

Refreshing wouldn't help. Is it counting unique IP addresses? Time restriction? Or lastly, a cookie? If it's the latter, it'd be way too easy to automate with two lines of scripting. :)


Edit: Damnit, it's not a cookie. ;)

I think me and other friend once wrote a VB app to constantly access a web site and increment the web counter. The only problem was that the school network we were running it was slow so we could only put a few thousand more on the counter, but it was still more than the 100 or so where it was at when we started.

You realise this could easily be a scam though. Notice how there are advertisements on the top of the page? Don't you think it'd be a brilliant idea if you somehow managed to trick everyone to hitting your website 5 million times, potentially earning you tons of cash?

... >_>

Good point Sane, luckily i only looked at it once. The next time i tried it did not work and just got an error message in german form the host.

If you look at the bottom of the page, there's an icon linking to the tracker. It has some different stats there...

account suspended now... unlucky :P have seen something similar to this before.

It could have been because he reached 3 million and had to post the picture of her exposed breast. That could easily have been against the website host's TOS.

it says Please contact the billing/support department so I'm guessing its more money side of it.
