Round 4 List

Written by Scrivs on June 3, 2006

Some people have emailed me to tell me how fortunate we are to have so many sites submit during round 4 and admittedly it was a blessing and a curse at the same time. Going through 10 sites is not an easy task and multiply that by 70 and you have about 2 weeks of stress wrapped in a nice little package. Out of 700 sites, 111 were selected and many of the ones that weren’t selected were close, but either needed a little more time or a little more focus. I wish it was possible to send every site an email explaining what can be improved and maybe one day we will have a system in place, but for now we can only email the sites on this list.

Keep in mind, these sites were the ones selected, but are not in the Network yet until they have agreed to the member agreement so take this as a preliminary list. Congratulations to everyone. Comments are closed for obvious reasons.

Hope the formatting on this list isn’t too fudged up.
