Glad gfy won.

Congrats to everyone! :)

Yep bit of a shame really as there have been a large number of programs this year of high quality.

I dont think the problem is in the judging since I actually was one and saw first hand the way it was done - but there is question as to the nomination process. I do think that needs to be addressed and refined.

Congrads to all the winners and GFY.

I think by "up and coming" it did not mean "new this year" etc.. I believe it was supposed to be for a program that really expanded/exploded and rose up to new levels in the industry.

congrats to the winners!

Congratulations to all the winners!!!

No surprises that I see. Some no brainers, like CCBill. Hello? Do they have any real competition?

Personally I don't think the awards mean much because all they are is a popularity contest, not true awards with logical reasons for choosing the winners.

Congratulations to all the winners and GFY.

Congrats to all the winners...

thats awesome! :) congrats everyone

dickman does


i had a look on last 5 designs listed on wyldesites portfolio, very good jobs but for 2005 im not impressed.

Dont understand it either, personaly id like to see Rage Cash take that home

I have to say that I had a ton of fun yesterday. Huge props to XBIZ for an extremely well organized event.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Last night was a blast, there were alot of good people there, I dont care who won or lost, everyone there whos in the biz deserves an award, grads to all the winners and those who didnt win, without all you guys the industry would be nothing.

Yep. I am sure that the rest of Hollywood is staggering around.

Mmmm... There are always good people in every biz, including XBiz. But true - the overall cred of XBiz is lacking. Simply look at the motivators and check their aims. It's hard to not notice some amazing bullshit, ego crap and hypocracy. :winkwink: It's hard to be credible when those at the top are not.

Dont know about up and coming but Sunny Dollars sure does convert for me on a very small amount of traffic.

whatever but gfy had to be a winner.. love to know that!

please... stfu... now.

BINGO

his stuff is not even touched, putting Alien on there would be an absolute disgrace,

Alien i think you should throw your own awards show, that way you can put your name on every ballot and MAYBE have a chance of winning.

I think the inherent problem with the xbiz awards are two fold.
1. The nomination process is basically a complete joke.
2. A very large chunk of the industry See's the event as staged and rigged awards. It does not matter if they are or are not of course, and any theories of why people think it is so does not really matter. Problem is in the perception, and once a large number of people perceive that it is even if it isn't they are forever tainted and devalues the whole process.

Of course - Congrats on the award man! :1orglaugh

LOL Nice...
Both Brand0n and Metatweaker...

GFY's most retarded have spoken.

can't believe Mansion won.

People may see it as that, but to be honest with you man, I was completly shocked that we won again, I didn't think it was possibly fuck i was screaming like a little school girl when i was on the floor and heard our name being called. All I can say, is one year if your name is called you will see what I mean.

Oh I understand and all. I aint hatting on them nor the winners at all. Just giving a general perspective that I see a lot in the industry.

And congrats on your award. Now does anyone have a video of you screaming like a little schoolgirl?

i know im not calling you a hater im just giving my perspective on everything :)

No one would consider nominating you Alien, you're a tool on the board.

I agree with you - PLEASE POST SOME SUGGESTIONS FOLKS - how would you like to see it done so as to squwash any notions on this being "rigged" and a "sham"???? :disgust

P.S. Alien - it was a poor choice to call the top finalists in the categories "nominees" - they were FINALISTS - next year, we should announce ALL nominees and assign judges to vote amongst the top finalists - there should be a distinction between the two

Well...
For design company of the year there were 10 Nominee's.

http://www.ialien.com/orly.jpg

I designed over 100 site tours this year and also did work in the mobile market. Some of my innovations really took hold this year with a very elite client list of not only up comming programs but well established ones.

In all honesty I do not know how my company was overlooked, I am tired of wondering why. But I will tell you one thing, I took as an insult. For none you people over there to not take notice is ludicris or just plane stupid.

Some of the very people I designed for were up on your stage last night, a number of the companies nominated I done work for.

It is fucken outrageous.

It looked like alot of fun for people, I wish I was there, by all means I could have been but really ya guys hurt my pride.

That's because you fucking suck ass. MikeW is a personal friend, and as the XBIZ award shows, the BEST designer out there.

Shut the fuck up pissing on him winning, and other awesome design companies being nominated.

You show your true colors hating and bitching about not being nominiated. You are a pimple on a whale's ass. Insignificant.

Alien in seriousness, you shouldnt let it hurt your pride, if your work sustains a certain level of pro then it speaks for itself.

dont let award shows debunk you as if "they" were any better than you, if you know your work is quality, then know that one day it will be recognized (or is recognized by the people that matter already). everything does come in time to those who are willing to keep going.

these are mostly shmooz fests, and i dont see you as an asskisser at all, thus do not worry about it.

Wow, an award situation where not everyone's happy with the nominations and outcome. There's a shocker ;)

Tool of the year award goes to...
Anthony of course. :1orglaugh

Fuckin clueless arm chair quarterback. Since when did you lose the ability to read? Must be the roids taking hold or somthing.

I am not bagging on MikeW.
He is good no doubt about it good for him I am sure he earned it.
But none the less. 10 Nominations.
No iAlien LLC.

Thats just ghey.

What is Ghey???? I never learned that in skool??

Alien wonders... "Why?"

I answered that already fucktard, you suck ass.

It's sad all this energy about an award, I guess that's what important to you.

Mike Walker does not advertise on any message board.

Mike Walker hardly posts on any board.

Mike Walker does not come on any board asking for business.

Mike Walker has a phat 4000 sq ft crib in South Fla.

Mike Walker has a Viper.

Mike Walker has a brand new SUV.

Mike Walker won the XBIZ award.

---

AlienQ is everything MikeW is not. A broke ass bitch who's work sucks so fucking bad, that even with all his posting on the boards, doesn't even get nominated for an XBIZ award.

I want to give huge props to XBIZ for last nights show-
They absolutely nailed it-
I have never attended an AVN Awards Show that was as sheduled and rehearsed.
The night was fantastic from a presenters perspective-
The Hustler Lounge was the place to be last night before, during and after the awards winners were walked off stage. The industry's top dogs were all there mingling with an open barand full video of the show going on outside.
I enjoyed hanging out back there and seeing the leaders of our industry all mingle with one another.
I felt that the dancer show was great, the trailer was funny, and most of all the press line and media glitz outside made the event look larger than life-

I feel the awards went to very deserving companies and people. Kudo's to everyone at XBIZ- Alec and Ellie, Kristen,Stephen, Moe, Kristen,and of course the Moss sisters ( who looked so fabulous last night) they worked their asses off.

It was also a very nice ending seeing Jenna, Jay, Moe, and Linda at the end of the show
Some of my all time favorite people.

Well done XBIZ- I will always support your magazines, award shows and everything else you put your name on.

-KB

Anthony-
MIke W is a friend as well as a person I have referred people to-
He is extremely talented and very professional andprompt- I was fortunate enough to see him yesterday - he is one of the good guys in the business-And while many will say his work is expensive-
I say it's only expensive if it doesn't convert.
:pimp

:2 cents:

I have also NEVER, EVER heard Mike say one single thing negative about anyone else in this business either. He's not only talented but a really decent guy too. And easy on the eyes :thumbsup
