Nope -- that's the Golden Spiders Net Award, unapam, which has a "Best Social Networking and Community Site/People's Choice" category.

More details on this later.

Having only lived in Ireland for 3 years and previously in the uk I would nominate Jumbletown for its environmental contribution which way surpasses anything in Great Britain,
Keeping my fingers crossed that you make it to the top as you deserve it.
From one of your most frequent users.
Good Luck

Hi Dalespat,

Many thanks for your kind words and support.

We did launch a JumbleTown.co.uk website at the same time as JumbleTown.ie but we took it down after a few days when we realised that managing the website for the island of Ireland was a monstrous task in itself! We might relaunch the UK site when we are more fully established in Ireland.

Thanks again!
