UBB.Developers Forums Announcements Announcements January 2001 Member Spotlight Winners

It could happen, I guess a top 10 places would work out ok, with votes rec'd for each site. Wouldn't wanna do that for all 39 , but top10 should be ok...

What the heck, I don need no steenkeeng sleep.

Here's the top 10 results from this month's scores. Voters judged each site based on 5 criteria:
1. site integration
2. design
3. appropriate use of modifications
4. color scheme
5. user experience

All 5 rec'd equal treatment, and you got closer looks if you did something a little unusual that the other sites didn't.

They then listed their top 3 choices and I go through and give 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, and 1 for 3rd. Total score is used to determine the winners.

1. - WhoIsVan - 30 points
2. - MidnightCafe - 11 points
3. - textcentral - 10 points
4. - EnterTheMuse - 8 points
5. - OneMinuteLeft - 7 points
6. - webdrenalin - 4 points
7.- 9. - in alphabetical order (2 points)
- AbleMuse
- frustchat
- techieville
10. - in alphabetical order (1 point)
- AnimeBB
- Magictraders

As you can see, except for Van's site, the rest were pretty close... most any of them could have won had a couple votes went their way. Other sites not listed could have easily won had there not been so many to judge... 411hype, emceearena, and planetplastica among them... it took me ~7 hours of work to compile the list and actually judge each site (I had all 39 sites open at once), it took the other voters a good bit of time as well.

We'll get better at this, and when we start judging v6 sites in April, that'll determine the playas from the pretendas... We may develop other ways of handling the large numbers of entrants in the future to help everyone get a close look and help the voters with the amount of time it takes to go through each site.
