The Webby awards are awarded to the best sites on the net. I think the Straight Dope Message Board deserves an honor. Therefore, I invite all of y’all to vote for it as a write-in at the People’s Voice Webby Awards. Just click [here](http://www.webbyawards.com/peoplesvoice), sign up, and vote! I suggest doing this in the “Community” Catergory. Remember, the folks don’t calibrate the results by hand, so the URLs of all who vote must be identical. I used “[boards.straightdope.com](http://boards.straightdope.com)” It’s about time the SDMB got the recognition it so rightly deserves! -Soup ---

Is there any way to check how many votes we got? ---

Voted. So far just voted in community and commerce. Went to the Webbys last year and met Peter Pan. Huge fun even though the site I was there rooting for didn’t win. Up for a webby again this year though! Twiddle ---

While the webby would be a nice thing. Do we need to open the door to how many thousands more people it would attract? ---

As am I. I’ve seen at least one other message board ruined by a huge influx sf new people. ---

As things are, a wave of popularity would be more a curse than a blessing. Let’s not vote for the SDMB.
