Member Spotlight - Just a short note to announce the first semi-annual Grand Prize winner in our Member Spotlight Contest. Combining particular attention to color, design, site navigation, user experience and layout with a UBB that sparkles and shines under close scrutiny, it's truly a site to we would all be happy to emulate.

Congratulations to MidnightCafe.com . A gift certificate will be reserved at Infopop for ricochet to renew his members' area download privileges for another year. We had a 3-way tie for second place in the combined member/ moderator vote as well. Good showing all around!

Next month, we'll be moving up to version 6 UBB's in our member spotlight. Deadline for entry is April 15th.

New Faces - Welcome to our newest moderator Lucia . She'll be moderating our Chit Chat forum and helping in several other areas as her time permits. Welcome!

Continued Site Reorganization - We have recently added a template forum to our list of places to visit and learn from. Skorpion and Mastermind are assisting us in what will be one of our busiest and most useful forums in the near future. Drop in and see what's cooking...

Well done to ricochet for an excellent site. It deserved to win.

Also well done to the evil lucia on getting such a coveted mod spot.

Just a thought

Thumbs up, MidnightCafe, beautiful site.

Welcome Lucia!!

wow awsome !!! Congrats!! you guys deserve it.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate this honor, I was up against some really good designs. I'm now looking foreward to redesigning MidnightCafe.com and making the move to UBB 6 sometime this spring.

Later,

Skorp: Actually, I sent in my entry before the deadline passed. I was wanting to know who won.

Congrats ricochet!!!!! Excellent work, and very deserving.

I'm curious to know if I got last place like the poll indicated the last time I looked.

I am sworn to secrecy...

But really, everyone did very well, you all have communities I would be proud to be a part of... not only that, but they are run by a set of class people. Bravo to you all.

A little late but...

Congratulations Midnightcafe!

Welcome Lucia

yea a little late indeed...Congrats Midnightcafe!

MidnightCafe.com is a good forum, but I'm confused. I was under the impression that the member votes counted towards the final decision.

Alien Soup has almost 3x the number of votes that MidnightCafe did, and if the judges thought Midnight was a better forum, why didn't more of them vote and comment?

I'm just curious, not trying to stir up trouble

Hey Justice.. good to see you. The member votes did count, but only as a portion of the total vote. Basically they counted as one vote, together with the moderators and admins who voted.

Wow, I just looked at the final tally (I got last place, woohoo!), what a dismal turnout. Members of this site should be ashamed. Hey, I voted.

You didn't get last place in the final tally Neal...

Yes, congrats ricochet... nice site. I'm just curious, but how did PlanetPlastica.com end up in the final tally?

Just testing, blame cal.
