Results can hardly be forged. Both the config files and the result files are encrypted. Even though it's not unbreakable (Blowfish + ElGamal, but there are theoretical circumventions), it's enough to keep the vast majority of participants from forging results.
Needless to say, I will only accept encrypted results. Plain text results would go straight to the thrash bin.
Well, that's one of the points of being open source, isn't it? People can grab the sources and adapt them to suit their needs:)
Anyway, some people started forking Vorbis (there are 3 or 4 popular forks ATM) out of frustration at Xiph's slow development schedule. Xiph has been too busy working on hardware players implementation and video encoding, so enthusiasts took into their hands the job of tuning and improving Vorbis.
It's worth mentioning that, even though aoTuV is a fork, it's 100% compatible with standard Vorbis decoders.
BTW: aoTuV means aoyumi Tuned Vorbis. Aoyumi is the developer.

That link is mentioned at the readme, inside the abc-hr_bin.zip package.

Sorry for that. Already fixed.

In this thread, the reasons why aoTuV was chosen over standard Vorbis are explained:
