A big win for the Brazilian Sonic community this year – a side of the online fanbase that is just finding its feet and experiencing a boom not unlike the British and American one of several years ago. The level of excitement and energy between these websites is quite inspiring and reminds me of when I first joined the Sonic community way back in ’99. There are some truly deserving websites here, and I hope you’ll join me in congratulating them and visiting their sites on a regular basis.
Wow! Congratulations winners! I must say that some of these surprise me- but every site there is deserving of their awards! Once again, congrats and happy websiting! 🙂
Thanks guys, really appreciate the work you’ve put in to the site awards this year – great stuff. Over the moon with my award too! 😀 Thanks again all who have voted!
Incidentally, the site’s really just called “Zone: 0”, the Sonic bit in the name is just for the domain. Not a big deal at all – just being pedantic, but I thought I’d mention it, if only for the sake of consistency and the graphic. You never know, someone might think I’ve nicked it off some site that is actually called “Sonic: Zone:0”. It could happen.
Anyway, congrats to all the other winners! I’m going off to ponder the benefits of having the site translated into Portuguese.. hmm..
Ah, congrats to the brazilian Power Sonic, it’s a great site indeed. The brazilian sonic community is larger than you guys might expect. ;]
Congrats to Zone: 0 for design and Layout! I love that site’s look, it’s so cool. Especially the background, I like browsing through it and noting all the different zones from the old sonic games.
