The Pretty Cool Page Award Is Dead!
If you want the award here it is:
The idea was good at the time but that time is over. I started this site to give the makers of small websites some kind of satificaction. An award saying "good job, I see the effort you've put into your site and I'm going to tell other people about it." Those days are over, I'm too busy doing my own thing. Right now I have about 500 web page submissions in my mailbox waiting to be reviewed by me. Do you think I'm going to read them? NO. So here's some highlights of the Pretty Cool Page Award:
In 1996 the site opened
Sometime in mid 97 some guy said I was copying his idea, I told him to piss off
On July 4, 1997 the mars pathfinder mission landed on mars, I had given their website
an award about a week before. They put a link to this page right on their main page and I
received about 200,000 hits over the next month, with the hits gradually tapering down
over the next couple of months. The hits haven't been the same since.
I took the submission link off the site and put it back on
a few times, at one point during the mars pathfinder incident I had 5000 submissions in my
inbox. I took the link off the page and deleted them all. Its a wonder how anybody got an
award.
August 18, 1999 the site closes :(
Bye...
