Webby Awards: The Escapist Wins! Updated: 5/5

[balimuzz]

I voted for you, and I really hope that the Escapist wins. They need to get more recognition for their awesome community, and the diversity of the content. I love each issue more than the last. Escapist FTW!!!

Is GameSpot still in the lead?
I have too slow internet speed to check myself. But some of you probably allready know that =P

 

[fontlas]

I voted FYI. The Escapist deserves it! Also, do we get a badge?

 

[cyxceven]

Voted as hard as I possibly could. Ungh.

 

[Shapsters]

The website is so sad without the Webby ads good try fellow Escapee's, I guess those bastards at Gamestop took the lead and we don't get the badge

 

[Dean Reilly]

If it all goes horribly wrong, can I suggest a "we wuz robbed" badge?

 

[Spleeni]

How DARE Gameshput try to be anything more than a miserable pile of rubbish.

 

[Ghost]

is it over yet? or is there more time?

 

[JokerGrin]

I don't go on Gamespot anymore but when I did all user reviews and comments seemed to descend into petty little badly-spelled flame wars. I don't think they'd have the intelligence to vote. I suspect foul play on their part.

Quoted from the site:

The Webby Awards presents two honors in every category -- The Webby Award and The People's Voice Award -- in each of its four entry types: Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video and Mobile. Members of The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences select the nominees for both awards in each category, as well as the winners of the Webby Awards. However, you, the online community, determine the winners of The People's Voice by voting for the nominated work that you believe to be the best in each category. Each year, the People's Voice Awards garners hundreds of thousands of votes from the Web community all over the world.

Ah, much clearer. Well, we won one award, which is good in itself.
