For the past 3 years we have been nominated for the Xbiz Online Community of the Year award. This year was no different. And each year, being associated with the other sites nominated has made us very proud. This year, our nomination should have made us more proud than any other year. We decided not to participate in the "Vote For Us" campaign Xbiz had for the nominations. And yet, we were still nominated.
This campaign seems to have brought out the worst in people and there are a few sites on the nomination list that we prefer to not be associated with.
It is with regret that we are asking Xbiz to please take GreenguyandJim off the list of nominees for this award. Perhaps next year, there will be more to being a nominee than the ability to stuff the ballot box.
I do thank all our members that voted for us. As I said, we never posted a link nor asked to be nominated. And yet, you guys came through for us.
I am sending this post to Xbiz and I do hope that by sometime tomorrow, we will be removed.
If you would like to see the list of nominees, here is the link.
