2008 SPF Community Awards

2008 SPF Community Awards
Deadline to vote: December 21st, 2008



Last month, we surveyed the SitePoint Forums community to give us names for who they thought best represented the various areas of the forum.

These names have been gathered, veted and organized, and these are the top names given by our members - it's up to you to help decide who's the best of the best!

And to make it all a little more tempting, SitePoint has stepped in and offered to give out not one, not two, not three but FOUR of its kits to those who participate in the voting. Not bad, huh? A few minutes of your time, and not only are you recognizing the other members of the forums for their hard work and dedication, but you could get something out of it too?


Here are the only stipulations:
  1. You do NOT have to vote for every award, but you can only vote once regardless, so be sure you're done!
  2. If you want a chance at one of the kits, you MUST provide your SPF username AND the email you're registered there under. They must match, or you won't be in the running for the kit.
  3. Voting is only open until December 21st, 2008 so get your votes in now!
  4. If you're in the running for an award, good luck!

I guess I must be someone that sees my skills as being "half empty" (the more you know, the more you know how much you don't know), so thanks to those that see them as "half full" and nominated me.

I was a bit confused about the "4 kits". But with the possibility of being 1 of 4 members getting a free kit
  • The Web Site Revenue Maximizer $197.00
  • The Email Marketing Kit $197.00
  • The Usability Kit $197.00
  • The Search Engine Marketing Kit $197.00
  • The Web Design Business Kit $247.00
I expect that the voting will be exceptional this year with this added incentive.

Thanks for those who nominated me. I have no idea why anyone would think I was a javascript guru though. I know how to use a script tag and that's about it!

The last two were agonising... that's for sure. I skipped the awards where I didn't know anything about them, but managed to cast my vote over a large part of it

The prize draw for a free kit sounds super cool btw
