    I'm trying not to be cynical here, its really a nice award and its nice to have lots of people feel good enough about the site that they voted for it. Thanks. :)

    We won "Best Boards-Like Site" ("best social and community site" actually).

    There will be pics, at least one of me pretending to be the "Queen of the Spider People" (which Phaxx took :) ). ahem...

    We got the biggest cheer of the night which was nice (all those techies stood up and cheered for us.... then sat down again, panting heavily) :)

    I'm going to bed now. Sleepy time for bagpuss.

    DeV.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

    Apparently someone from the GS said to Gerry/Ross (cant recall which) that we had garnered a huge number of votes.

    Des Bishop was cracking wise that we didnt need 5 of us to run it as it was all built on open source software (not sure why that would mean less people but the guy is paid to be funny not to be a techie, and to be fair he was pretty funny live). I got the feeling he was quite familiar with Boards!
