It has 87 votes, and the other ads also start with the real vote count and then concatenates what seems to be a random string (but I suspect it's not random)

Edit: Aparently it was the user IDs of the people who posted the ads

    At a glance, those strings look to me like times in hhmmss format.

    @Dominic: I'm curious to know what kind of clock you use. For the format to be hhmmss, you're saying that 14:03:81 is a valid time. :)

  • @Michael - excellent point. I was looking at the link balpha posted, where many of the numbers under the ads are valid times. Now I look closer, a whole load aren't. Oops.

  • Those were the user IDs of the people who posted the ads, but it seems to be fixed now.
