Either way, i think Rex needs to come and make a statement about whats going on, atleast if he comes and admit his guilt, it will be better than him running away with his tail between his legs.
Either way... the right thing to do, is draw a real winner, and attempt to make good on this.
Because to me, this just looks like one big publicity stunt, just an attempt to draw attention, that backfired.
the crowd is out with pitchforks and torchs demanding justice, Rex, you need to do something about it.

Ok the server is using GMT which is 2 hour difference that myself, which would mean that he registered that name 31 minutes after Rex posted the results. BUUUUT, as youll notice Josh said that his IP doesent match ANY other user's on this board, which means he is not an old user who just re-registered to win.

Rex,
As many of the members have already said, you need to come forward and explain what is going on, if indeed you have any idea, even if it means exposing that you were running a scam to regain the business of us here at TGO. There are many reasons here as to why the members think that you were running a scam.
The administrator and myself have looked into this comparing IP addresses and such. There is still no explanation as to what has happened, except that you posted the winner and haven't been online since. Please come forward with an explanation.

as far as i know IP's dont have to be the same for you to be legit. think its BS i have over 15 different IP addresses but its all dependant upon which server i dialup to. and which screenname, computer i use. i've in past years posted on websites and chat rooms where it displays IP #'s for all to see. and mine would never be the same.

Thanks to the internet, the concept of time zones is even more annoying than ever.. 10 years ago you only cared if you were making an out-of-state phone call, which before the proliferation of cell phones with unlimited long distance wasn't often either.. no, no.. those shows that came on at like 10/9 central.. yeah.. that was the problem

if you post your real name and we recognize it, you will most likely be recognized as a credible member, itll atleast get some people on your side so we can stop making a fuss over you and make a fuss over the real problem who hasnt been on the board lately, unless he cant sign in as rex because hes busy sticking up for his other username: wowcolor

IP addys can be changed on any DSL cable box every 5 seconds if you want. I know this because in online gaming banned gammers reenter servers under new IP's by resetting their DSL boxes. So IP's are not going to help you.

Here's what I think happened:
Earlier today Rex had picked the name for the winner, but kept it secret. He then picked up the hood and was test fitting it before shipping it, but smashed his finger while doing so. So he went inside to post the winner, but i'll be darned if his hand hurt too much and he mispelled KBeez and wrote wowcolors (go figure) instead. Sorry guys, I think I won
He's now knocked out on morphine and won't be able to post 'til later.
..... Actually, that's what I wish happened

Back when Mean Mustang took my money for Corbeau seats I never saw and wouldn't call me back, I found a little link to the Internet Crimes Division of the FBI. Fraud and malicious intent for peronal gains..... Hmmmm
Let AIM and ICQ chimes ring out! Spread the word, Rex is a turd!

Has anyone tried to contact REX? Just think what he'll think if he is oblivious to what is going on. Can you imagine? The first words out of his mouth will probably be "OH S**T WTF"

I would just like to add that I, as well as (I hope) everyone here will offer an apology if indeed this was a mistake, but Rex, your REALLY going to have to prove this one.

well i am the last person to defend the actions of rex but in his first hood post on the first page at the botton he did say that he had 3 other draws going on at the same time. and he could have just said the incorect winner. wowcolor could be a winner from another board.
rex has been making hoods from 1979. i am sure he would not be in business that long screwing his customers. well not all of them at one time anyways
