Website of the Year?

[jsc248]

:D Hi Gang,
Does anyone out there know how to register votes for the website of the year? I, for one, would be more than happy to vote for Fraser's Universe Today site. Has any one got the info? and does anyone agree?

[damienpaul]

definitely agree :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Chook]

I don't "get around" much - but UT must be one of the best, if not THE best. Agreed. B)

[antoniseb]

It's the one I've visited most.

[TuTone]

I admit this is one of my favorite sites. I visit this site every day Mon-Fri while I'm at work.

[Fraser]

I come here a lot too. ;-)

I wonder why.... :lol:

Out of the five or so sites I regularly go to, this is the top of my list; great news, great members, great site, great everything.

When I was researching formats for my own website, I decided to look up the award winners, and found that it is something taken quite seriously. See for youself:

Fraser, if you seriously want to try this out, I know there are alot of us who would support you. Deadline for submission for this year's awards is in one week!

Good luck in whatever you decide.

I'd definitely vote for UT!
It's the only site i visit every day

[ChromeStar]

I 9th that!!!

this is a awsome site :D

[Betelgeuse]

Yeah - I guess that means I'll 10th it! I visit the website every day - as often as I can. In my opinion, it's the best space source where you can disucss, read and debate on the web!

[StarLab]

Yeah, this is my favorite site...I come here whenever I can, it's a community I really feel I can be a part of. It's more than just the best outlet of space news..it's an ever-growing community of space enthusiasts.

[aeolus]

I think that's the appeal it has on me: community. Knowing there are so many educated and genuinely interested people that contribute and make this site. Its not just someone doing it for a paycheque. Its everyone doing it for the love of it all. And that makes all the difference.

[Chook]

URGENT.... Website award nominations have been extended to January the 28th. EVERYBODY VOTE PLEASE.

Well, Fraser - are we in the running to be the best website in the universe? :huh:

[Planetwatcher]

Add me in for sure. I get three different newsletters dealing with space news. One I generally delete without even reading unless it has something really interesting, or something U.T. doesn't which is very rare.

The 2nd I read if I feel like, but I don't get involved any further then that.
And this one? Well I think nearly 850 postings and being a moderator speaks for itself. But to validate I'll say this.

I just got a new (to me) computer operational after being down and off the internet for a month. Right after securing my O.S. options, I got the internet operational, and the very next thing I did was to get back U.T. and add it to my favorittes.
Since I forgot my password, I had to sign on as a new member until Fraser got me revalidated which resulted in me getting at least three welcome P.M.s from Rigel.
(BTW Rigel good job in welcoming new members. Keep up the good work.)

Just tonight I signed up one of my co-workers to start receivng the newsletter.
this is by far my favoritte web site to visit, even if I don't post as much or as often as I used to, (which sometimes exceeded 25 postings per visit)
I'm still here and will also support Universe Today as Website of the Year.
Even if we don't win, we can make an impact and get an honorable mention.
LET'S DO IT!!

[Fraser]

Thanks for your support folks. It's just nice to know you appreciate the site; whether or not it wins any awards.

[Betelgeuse]

Has the website been entered? If so, how do we vote?

[Planetwatcher]

Yeah. What Rigel said. What's the deal here?

[Callisto]

I agree as well I enjoy visiting UT!

[jkmccrann]

Not sure what happened last year, but surely everyone has to get behind UT for the 2005 awards, it must be getting to the voting season again......???

[Tunga]

A $245 dollar entry fee to compete for a Webby award seems a little steep!
