His level at the moment is the cbeebies web site

Yup, ours is two next week and cbeebies is where it's at as far as he's concerned. He won't go to bed at night unless he's played the 'Barnaby and Becky go to Fairy Hill' game. He usually likes to play with his cbeebies cyber-pet as well, he has a puppy called Pie.

So, in our house it'll be one vote for cbeebies, one for mumsnet.com and one for Cable Forum.

Actually, I'd best not mention the awards to Mrs T, she'd mount a campaign for Mumsnet to win it and they have a very large number of active posters.

off topic......If the kids like cbeebies then they should love Kwaala & Boowa

Each shortlisted nomination will be showcased on the NTL site where the public can vote for their winner, to be announced in October.

Can't see us getting on there somehow!

And we will Bill

But isn't it all a bit too technical for us all?

TBH - We do not need to vote fix to win a title, from the successes of the nthellworld sites and the moving on with cableforum and the support shown from the membership, we already know we are one of the helpful sites out there.

*shakes head*

They probably got wind of all of us here about to vote for cableforum.......

Having "come back on the 2nd September" to vote for the best website, I find that that the site is inactive. Is this some kind of ironic joke on ntl's behalf?

Gareth · 02-09-2004, 12:54

Will be interesting to see if it still says it tomorrow too. Somehow, I think it will still be there.

/me wonders how we'll be able to come back in time to vote. Anyone got a spare flux-capacitor they can lend me..?

Frank · 02-09-2004, 13:32

Well in all fairness they didn't say what time on the 2nd, but you would think the beginning of the day, wouldn't you.

Perhaps they will open it later, or maybe they haven't finished it yet and will launch it tomorrow and hope nobody noticed. Nothing else to do by speculate as there's no update from ntl anywhere on any of their sites, but that's not really a new concept to ntl.
