Ever won a forum of the month contest?

Forum of the month contests are usually quite popular on other admin forums and such - so, have you ever won one? I know I did a few years ago with my community Virtualpetlist on Theadminzone, it was quite a major milestone for us.
How about you?

 

I've won a few from vbulletin.com and .org in the past with a vBulletin support site I had.
I'm planning on submitted Admin-Talk to several FOTM or BOTM contest once we get our nicer style set back up,

 

No, only entered one though

 

Yes I won one once before. Hopefully will win more in the near future.

 

I just won my first one actually. I was surprised, to say the least, but I do hope to win more down the line.

 

Congrats!

 

I lost to a staff member and so did Dashing...

 

what do you mean?

 

I was runner up twice, both times. We lost to staff members.

Kinda makes me want to rage cause I personally don't find it's right that they participate.

 

I have never won a forum of the month contest before. Hopefully in the future I can.

I was so close to buying a forum that recently won ForumPromotion's forum of the month. ARGH! Frustrating!

 

I never really bothered myself with these contests as I always saw it as a popularity contest which doesn't really mean much nor something I would get upset over if I lost such a contest.

 

I remember submitting one of my old forums to the vB.org's BOTM, but I didn't win,
I remember voting for one forum at ForumPromotion.net that deserved to win ( months ago ) , but of course, the well-known member's forum won,

I don't really participate in FOTMs much..

 

Heh, no I wish, but so many other creative ones out there.

 

I agree that it could be a popularity contest, but it also helps get the word out for your community. I know its always nice to compete against others because it shows how determined you really are to succeed against someone else.
