travolta's agent should be pleased

travolta has gone big time..w00t!


edit; OxCash has been down all day..what gives?

traffic cash a nominee in the sponsorship category is funny. they cancelled my account because i asked them where my two $35 cheques were. one of them i recieved a few months earlier and they printed it wrong and had to send it back.

wazzzzup to the LikeWhoa design crew and they nomination.....

yo looks like a good time, great job on the pic ;)

wha? No likewhoa nominated?
I though they had a 80x80 space at Internext :P

looks like ox cash is back up :BangBang:

This contest is rigged.

So did I??? maybe it's "Down" now...:1orglaugh

sorry, but i'll never respect awards shows until whoever designs them stops sucking DICK & does the shit objectively. half the mofos on this joint PROBABLY don't deserve an award & the other half are nominated simply because they "know people". every awards show is like that & any1 fooling themselves otherwise needs 2 snatch their thumb outta their ass.

no... i'm not bitter cuz i wasn't nominated. i prefer cash vs awards. that is all.


:ak47: :321GFY

Really??? How do you figure that TeenGodFather???

What billing companies didn't get nominated?

ACPay, but other then that, I don't think any others didn't get nominated. :1orglaugh
ZoiNk

Jettis?

my vote goes to BossHawg and FEB although its not in the list

Thanks to our satisfied customers and fans! Booya!

"Never underestimate the power of the darkside"

You guys forgot Cologroup and Like Downtime! in the hosting section.

Ibill? :eek2 ha ha ha


Hey what is the name of that blingy diamond font. That is coolio.

ibill is nominated for the support....

im surprised oxeo isn't there in hosting... they seem to be pretty big in adult hosting

way to go GFY!! :thumbsup

Princess,

I guess webinc.com wasn't worthy enough to be nominated??

hmmm....

LOL...No shit. I have never heard of half of the nominees.

Oh well.....It's all in fun anyway right? :glugglug

Even witht the downtime issues...Likewhoa and ISPrime should have made the cut.

Congrats to Jamie though. I know he works hard.

Well yeah they are good enough in my opinion. But we made a very strict rule that no HELMY employee was allowed to nominate a site nor was a HELMY site allowed to win. And webinc.com wasn't submitted to us either by their staff or by webmaster community

Nominees were accepted via the XBiz Awards site and only by this method. No sites were added that were not submitted via the site. Press Releases were emailed out and I even posted on a couple boards (GFY Included) about it with the hopes that everyone would go out and submit the sites that they thought were excellent or deserving.

I wanted this to be so that everyone could be involved. Both big names and smaller companies. Just because a company has a big name doesn't always mean they're better. You might have a company that's hardly heard about that's just kick ass, ya never know and vise versa.

As far as judges go, I wanted a wide variety there as well. Both big names in the business as well as some that you don't hear from to often. That way it'd be a more unbiased Judging process. No judge was allowed to vote in the specific category that they are directly involved or work in.

Given the over all picture, I think this has been one of the most fairly done Awards that there is.

what a freakin joke......anybody who knows anything about any one of or all the categories knows that. No effort was put into trying to find the best and the brightest.

and yeah Travolta's people are going to be thrilled.

Sorry mutt you're wrong.

Every webmaster had a say. They were free to submit the sites they thought were best.

I didn't think it would be fair to just preselect sites for judges to vote on. That's why it was adult community submissions.

Maybe in the next round of awards you'll be more involved? Judge perhaps? I'd certainly love to have you. =)

Fun?

Didn't you just tell me to fuckoff? even though i don't know you..

of right, your friends with...


QUICK -

call me insane and ban my IP!

LOL

"travolta's agent should be pleased"

... I thought that too.

here's a thread about one outstanding company in the content category

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...ght=CyberSe x

and there's another thread somewhere here from a camgirl who says they screwed her over totally.

and how does Webinc not register on your radar screen in the design category? do you know how much business Webinc does a year? How many designs?

Did you even visit XBiz Awards to see who is actually listed in the top 7?


I think our judges did one hellva job on weeding through the sites.

" and how does Webinc not register on your radar screen in the design category? do you know how much business Webinc does a year? How many designs?"

... just blame it on the talibans.

funkmaster hon, did you not read my post? where I explained why they didn't show up?

I know they're excellent stuff. You're not telling me anything I haven't known for awhile. There's lots of excellent design companies. But in order to be up for the award they have to be nominated.

:winkwink:

princess, I did and I wasn´t refering to your post ... like every year you guys are doing an outstanding job ... we´ve had a link up to xbiz for ages !!

Webair?

where is National-Net?

well at least they got Hot Amateur Mpegs in there in the content category so it's all good :1orglaugh

i know it's an impossible task for political reasons as much as any other.

i think awards are dumb to start with.............awards connected to porn even dumber.

ever seen an AVN Awards show where the 18 year old runaway junkie is standing their in her evening gown weeping tear of joy for just winning the Best Double Anal Scene By An Ingenue?

if somebody really wanted to do it right - it would be run like the Academy Awards - only people involved in one area of the business would be allowed to nominate and vote in their area of expertise - designers would nominate designers, content people would nominate and vote on content providers etc -

what does People's Choice mean? Is this a surfer's point of view award?

funkmaster, I'm sorry my mistake dear. I went back and read your post and it was my phuck up. Sorry about that. I think that means it's bed time for me. I've been up all night working on my family sites.

:winkwink:

Once again read my reply from eariler hon. They weren't nominated. You should have done the honors for them. =)

It's a category for sites that didn't fall into the other categories that were listed... (link list, TGP's etc...) It's nominated on by the webmaster community.


Hey I welcome all suggestions and I'll most certainly keep that in mind for next years awards. If you have more I'm all ears. [email protected]

:winkwink:

considering the awards process you guys put together such as community submitted sites only, that your staff played no part in nominations or judging, and the variety of judges i think you guys have killer job.

im sure there's room for refining things every year, but its as close to unbiased as any online awards program can get IMO.



:2 cents:

Congratulations to all the nominees, there are many many fine companies listed.

I'm looking forward to Internext and the Xbiz party!

Im sure Sweet T gets his award monthly when customers pay that hosting bill. I wanna be like him when I grow up...

I agree there sure is. Can't wait to see you at GigaMix!

Gonzo... How are you bro?? ;)

You are correct in that we do not pay much attention to awards and such........it is more important to pay attention to our customers.

About half of those nominated in the web hosting category I have heard of...and of that half there are some very good people listed so I am sure that the award will go to a deserving company.

Todd (STK)....don't sweat it, my friend.....you will find that the longer you are here and the bigger you get the less people think about you.....you become a staple. How many times have your kids said "Thanks for knocking out the rent, Dad!" or "Appreciate you making that light bill, Dad!"???? It's a given.

To all of those nominated...congrats and good luck!

-T

Wish I'll not need to go in front to tell something stupid! :winkwink:

How much $$ do you want or need to get the Boneprone Famliy listed in the People's choice section??

Who are these "people" and what do they do for the people that the family doesnt and can't??

No one does more for the people than the family..


No one.

How much you want.

We can come up with the money.
We are the only group that truely is a group of the people.

I personally consider myself a man of the people..

Much Like Jesus was before I.

Someone has failed to Bow to the Power.

SweetT! Nice to see you around. I certainly hope to see you in Vegas. You're just right down 75 but I never see much of you guys..

Fred? where you been boy? =)

nice, i'm nominated.. :thumbsup

Good luck to all the nominated it should be a great turn out & for those who didn't theres always next year...

...?and of course in the end the real reward for doin biz with National Net is that you get to know Tony personally;)
