Congrats to Jay and his Stunner Media team for making the list! And I am totally tickled to see Peter's AmateursDoIt site up there from WOW Media! A hearty congratulations and good luck to all the finalists!

You can see the full list of finalists HERE

Also want to congratulate our partner Buck Angel who is up for 'Best Transgendered Site of the Year!' :)

There are three sites nominated for "Gay Site of the Year" that have Alexa ranks over 1,300,000. Can someone explain how a site with very little traffic manages to get on the list? Or maybe the question is "who did they fuck to get on the list?" :)

Oh awesome, I see quite a few of great programs and sites including Stunner Media (you guys rock)....and our very own Amateurs Do It for site of the year. EXCITING!!!!!

You must of missed this post http://forums.gaywidewebmasters.com/...iz+nominations

Anyone can nominate a site or program, and I am guessing the submissions get checked out and the number of recommendations taken into consideration before the finalists are announced. But -- I could be wrong and there is a number on there somewhere in small font to call for a fuck date ;)

Yes as Bec said there is a 'Pre-Nomination' vote that all the members of XBiz.net usually vote on. A site of any size and with enough industry contacts can probably get enough votes to be nominated. So it's not really a matter of 'who you fuck' but it is a matter of 'how many you fuck.' ;)

I think these awards are different from how Cybersocket does things as it's more decided by the industry and less decided by surfers, at least that's how I see things.

congrats to all the nominees and best of luck winning in your category! :)
