Ladies and Gentlemen, the SitePoint Community Forums proudly present...

The 2007 SitePoint
Community Awards Winners

Yes, I know the task was arduous: so many awards, so many threads to go back and re-read, too many mosquitoes with an immunity to deet, a painful nomination form, polls that (almost) spoiled the surprise, and the occasional mauling by panther. But the journey is over and we've all survived.

Each of the winners will ultimately receive a maximum of 2 award badges, which will be placed above their avatars until the next awards process next year. The badges will be created and installed in a couple of weeks.

Those who won more than 2 awards will be contacted by PM to select which 2 awards they would like to receive. Using the poll numbers as a guide, the staff will then assign the remaining awards to other nominees.

And the winners are...

(drum roll please...

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone who voted for me.

Longneck, you must be exhausted! Go get yourself a cold one for a job well done.

Congrats everyone - well deserved.

Datura · Nov 19, 2007, 21:09

Thank you much Carl, what a marathon for you.

Congratulations to all members who were nominated and to all who in the end won the votes.

For myself: Thank you all so very much for giving me this overwhelming amount of enthusiasm. I truly appreciate this and will proudly wear my two ribbons, for we can only have two

Dan Schulz · Nov 19, 2007, 21:35

Congratulations everyone. Nadia and Sarah, I'll be sure to take extra good care of the awards you two have so graciously worn over the past year for you.

BPartch · Nov 19, 2007, 21:40

Congrats indeed to all the winners, and to whoever nominated me and to those who voted for me as well a sincere thanks all around.

I am by no means a Flash guru, but I do appreciate the award! The real gurus are (in no particular order) krityx, rabies, stevewebdev and to the newer members that I do not recognize that have also been helpful in the Flash forum.

jimbo_dk · Nov 19, 2007, 21:40

Congratulations to everyone!

Enjoy your badges (when they are ready, of course)

. Good luck to you all.

I was glad to see you nominated as well, for you truly contribute in many ways. I have learned a lot from you Stephen. Thank you

AutisticCuckoo · Nov 19, 2007, 23:33

Congratulations to all the winners!

And a big thanks to Karl for taking care of the whole thing. You did a great job, and I promise to buy you a beer if we ever meet in person.

jantheman · Nov 19, 2007, 23:47

Congratulations to all the winners!

Plus let me also give a thank you also to the runners up and everyone else that provides the valuable help and support on these forums. It's very comforting to know that there is always an answer or advice here somewhere from some very talented people.

Ok, enough soppiness, I'm back to the latest posts
