First of all I don't want to take anything away from this week's Cool Lego Site of the Week winner. Second of all I don't care if my site gets selected as a future winner. What strikes me odd is why did the unofficial Star Wars design contest win (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) The voting facility is a suggestion facility. 9 times out of 10, what gets the most votes is what gets used as that week's pick. Sometimes there are exceptions, like when Bram's LDraw & LEdit tutorial went up as the weekly pick last year (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Out of curiosity... What are the standards to be nominated for CLSOTW? My site has been online since just after tax time 99' w/decient traffic. Both on the original Geocities site and the more currently updated webjump site. Close to 2700 visitors (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I think people should be able to give fractional votes: You get 1.0 "voting points" to spread out however you want among the sites. You might give 30% to one and 70% to another, for example. --Todd (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
