i have same problem–in fact to me it seems that the popularity contest statistics are WRONG. Popularity contest has chosen several obscure posts on our site as the most popular, citing over 1000 permalink views. When I click reset stats button nothing appears to happen to my statistics! Am using w-popularity rather than popularity contest because of post 2.5 fatal error, but it is based on pop contest code and appears identical to pop contest in appearance and in fact statistics carried over from when i was using popularity contest (same posts listed as most popular). Slimstat lists permalink views for one post as 1,100 but popularity contest does not show that stat for that post–does not even list that post as among most popular for permalink views. What is going on?

use w-popularity. it is identical in operation to pop contest except that it works post 2.5. i am using it it looks identical. i never tried the hack, but i saw one complaint that the pop contest code hack does not work.

try w-popularity. i am using it on current build of WP (2.6 or 2.7 or something–definitely post 2.5). I never tried the hack, but have seen one complaint of the hack not working.

try w-popularity, based on same code except works in post 2.5 WordPress. I am using it, i used to use popularity contest with my current WP build (I believe i have 2.6). it seems identical to me.

try w-popularity, which i am now using and is based on popularity contest and seems to me to function identically except that it still works in recent WP versions (I believe I am on the most recent version 2.6 or 2.7 or something).

hacker was ZoRRoKiN, message posted on our site was:

ZoRRoKiN – Ottoman-Empire.OrG

I got hacked too, apparently last night. have busy hi-profile site with 1000 visits per day. was on wp 2.5, which i had upgraded to a couple weeks ago. after hacking, just changed all passwords and deleted all old accounts. theme files i checked all appear okay, but hacker has made strange simple html file appear – with only one line that writes text referring to other website. only subset of wp database appears to have been hacked. main index file is still displaying correctly, but all 2000 posts appear in subdirectory which is now displaying hacker’s text.
