Here I am with the results and the winner of XOOPS Site of the month contest October 2006!

The winner is ... Fios Uniao

... with nearly 40% of all votings. Comments made about this site were:

• "I like this theme, color, presentation. It's simple but clean."


• "The design is great, and they mention XOOPS in the site credits"


• "Professional design and theme."

SORRY for beeing some days later than usual with my report of the winner of XOOPS Site of the month and for being more silent than normal, but holiday seasons and some important family affairs had to be dealt with in the past weeks! Now, everything should continue like you are used to. I'm happy to announce the winner of Site of the Month november, which is Casafree Maroc!

"... Casafree Maroc is an "old" moroccan portal. It was created in December 2000, and started using Xoops on 2004. Today, Casafree is one of the most visited websites in africa. And that, thanks to the Xoops power. We have more than 15.000 registered members, hundreds of thousands of posts, comments, pictures and news articles."

here I am to introduce the winner of our xoops site of the month contest DECEMBER 2006. With the majority of all submissions (gt 80%) Ainpg.com did the race.

"INPG (Grenoble Institute of Technology) Alumni Association Community Website. Based on the xoops CMS system, it makes use of the most powerful modules available on this platform."

This month election wasn't that hard for me to count for we have nearly 100% for the xoops site of the month January 2007, which is Parent Solo.

Comments from our visitors:

• - A very good example of Xoops' capacities to build a dynamic community.


• - This design is perhaps the most unique design I've seen in XOOPS. I love how the layout is non-semetrical. This is very creative work and is definitely worthy of XSOTM.

There were not that much responses on our xoops site of the month contest as usual but we have a winner though. Some events here in europe (soccer, football) and the "summer of the century" dot not really invite to read webpages but more to enjoy sun and water.

We did it, once around the calendar, one year, 12 Month, 12 winner of the xoops site of the month contest. And, ... we have seen many great examples of XOOPS usage. Thanks to all!

While looking through the emails with your votings, it was not that hard to see who will be the winner of month July 2006.

The next follow up site is WestCoaster.ca with 11 email.

The winner of our "XOOPS Site of the month contest" for month MAY 2006 with 38% of all valid votes is .... VETOFISH.

Some comments to vetofish given by our visitors:

• + I like it's originality, the way how it manages content and all it's features.


• + What do YOU love most of YOUR favourite Site? This was a tough choice but I have to say my reason for choosing Vetofish was because of it's graphics. I like the layout but the style of the design makes me feel as if I'm using a local program. Simple yet effective.


• + The design is polished and pleasing to the eye. It doesn't look like, yet another XOOPS site. Well done!

XOOPS Sites: Here we are with the results of January 2006. Not as much votings as we have seen in the last months, but therefore we got not as much spam as we have seen before.

In the comming months i will continue to look for people who want to help reviewing sites and i'm still thinking how to categorize the voting into groups such as "best design", "best community" and "best content" etc.

The winner of the "XOOPS Site of the month" award, month february is Roma Victor Camp. "... Roma Victor Camp is a fansite and resource site for historical, no subscription fees MMORPG Roma Victor. It consists of a massive forum, screenshots, links, articles and poll section. ..."
"... It provides all the up to date news about Roma Victor, and the site looks cool too!...", "... Its very informative and a great resource for those who need to use it. The staff are incredibly helpfull and offer a friendly atmosphere in the forums. ..."

Decembers winner is Asian Car Styling with 17 votings. The second place is shared by Anime Kensei and Wanabka with 15 votings each. With 10 votings each the third place is shared by All about MASK and Gooberhead.net (hmmm, ... i wish i could be 15 or 20 years younger again ...).

Again, there were many good sites! My personal favourite this month was the page of xray-mag.com for its great content and stuff on their page. When i got the nomination for this site it took me some hours to look through the magazine. Nor I'm a diving specialist or too much interested in this topic but the images and stuff were really great. Perhaps some of the guys want to invite me for a week? I downloaded some of their .pdf documents and began to dive in ...

I'm happy to announce the results of the XOOPS Site of month october voting. This month again, I recieved some more votings than in the previous month. Totally there were 148 votings within 11 invalid mails. Thanks for your participation and thanks to those who helped in promoting and making this contest possible.

... the winner is ... RF Online Base . "RF Online Base is a hub of detail for the highly anticipated MMORPG RF Online. RFBase has a large community, friendly members, and a helpful staff."

Actually there were many hits on keyword "xoops sites" and "sites using xoops" so i think this contest will help to promote xoops too. There are some really nice and successful sites within our nomination and link area.
