| December | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the season of goodwill, top spot went to a site dedicated to saving the world's arboreal resources which are often wasted in abundance at that time of year. | ||
| Winner: | Internet Card Central | This started out as just a private page and has developed into the most extensive list of Internet greetings and email postcards that we've seen on the web. Very useful if you've missed the last posting dates for Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. |
| Feedback | ||
| November | ||
|---|---|---|
| November was a total washout. We received no serious nominations or suggestions, so rather than give the award to a half baked site with little material interest we decided to keep the prize money for ourselves. |
| October | ||
|---|---|---|
| As autumn took hold we selected a couple of sites which have an external interface to the Internet. First there's yet another WebCam and would you believe it? Someone's only gone and connected their outdoor bathing pool to the Internet. | ||
| Winner: | Oval Office Live Cam | See what Bill is up to right now. |
| Runner-up: | Paul's Hottub status | Just how warm is that water? And don't forget to wave to the cats. |
| September | ||
|---|---|---|
| September's prizes went to a couple of slightly downbeat sites. We advise against visiting the winner unless you are emotionally very strong (e.g. you've read Hardy's Jude the Obscure with no ill effects and you can watch a whole episode of Little House on the Prairie without reaching for a box of tissues). | ||
| Winner: | The Paragon of Pessimism | An in-depth analysis. |
| Runner-up: | Pessimism, Cynicism and Sarcasm | Nothing to disagree with on this one. |
| August | ||
|---|---|---|
| August was won by nostalgia. The work of a madman? Judge for yourself. Silver went to an interesting site, well worth visiting from time to time. It just shows what people will complain about and what the marketing boys and girls think they can get away with. | ||
| Winner: | 5¼" Sleeves - The Official Archives | Have you got anything to contribute? |
| Runner-up: | Advertising Standards adjudications | Legal, decent, honest and truthful? |
| July | ||
|---|---|---|
| July's awards went to a couple of those really interesting and exciting pages where the author has mastered just enough HTML to add an under construction message. | ||
| Winner: | Andy McPhee | Don't believe a word of it. |
| Runner-up: | John Severs | Just look at what can be achieved with 5Mb of free web space. |
