Ten years ago bars were filled on Sunday and Monday nights with QB1 players until people found out how a few bars were cheating and now it's hard to find a bar in this area that has QB1 programmed.

10 years ago there were zero bars cheating at QB1. The glaring issues started in 2004.

Out of curiosity, how do you think bars were cheating at QB1?

For a long-term fix, it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to have all the servers synchronize their times every day with the NIST, or similar Internet Time Server. That way all the questions should be simultaneous at all sites, unless there's some other reason for time randomness within the system.

Of course the CPU's should be synched at the start of every game, but unfortunately this has been an issue on occasion since the old antenna PM's started to be replaced around 2000. Two different platforms resulted in changes in game timing that were very exploitable.

Funny thing is, back in the days where all the systems were DOS based, everything was in synch and there were zero issues like this. The switch to the current 900MHz system opened back doors in every game and it keeps getting worse, mainly because the tech guys have no clue how the real BT world operates.

I know that at least one phone-cheat hack is on this site.

Please step forward and explain how getting medals by cheating makes you feel.

Are you getting groupies?

Are you able to move out of your parents' house by using this ploy?

Do you Tweet your accomplishments?

Does it help you at Farmville?

Is it as good as midget porn?

Do you recieve free Weight-Watcher shakes at the sites where you (don't) play?

Is your life so miserable that cheating is the only thing that makes you feel good?

Please, enlighten us.

We know that BT doesn't really care who wins this contest, as long as the right demographic group is playing. By cutting the app radius, they might loose some twentysomethings.

And it can also add to the number of people playing, maybe upping what BT can charge for advertising.

BT doesn't care about *******, so why should this cheat really bother them?

Just some thoughts.

One of the best posts ever made on this site. Five years down the road I can see Buzztime's main focus on Facebook and the internet. Games at restuarant/bar sites will be reduced or made exclusive at BW3. I can easily see this happening.

For those that disagree, years ago people thought that record stores would always be around. Not many around today. Same thing is happening to book stores. Borders is almost gone and B & N is next.

Hi Tiefly I haven't seen you in a year but we got along pretty well last year. In fact I met a lot of nice people. You can assume I'm a cheat but I'm not. But I do know of a cheat on this site no one has caught.

Yes, there were a lot of nice people at 'palooza last year & most people I've met playing trivia have been pretty good eggs.

Whether you are cheating or not isn't a problem that I have to deal with. There are plenty of cheats out there, so even if are one, you're not alone.

My question is:

Why play at two separate sites at the same time via the app? This truly baffles me.
