Round 4 Open

Written by Scrivs on May 16, 2006

We have been waiting for this one for some time now and I am happy to say that the doors for Round 4 are now open. We are really looking forward to seeing what this round brings our Network since after this we will be bringing out a new 9rules which these sites will up usher in.

This is Tyme’s first submission round from the inside so she is very excited and I can honestly say that I never get tired of these. It’s always refreshing to come across brand new content that you have never seen before and it’s great to know that people are doing their best to make the independent web a better place.

Best of luck to all who submit.

Update by Colin D: Wow, these submissions are coming in faster than ever. I had to put in some throttling, so if you get a bad message, just submit again. Don’t let a little error message deter you. Good luck!

  1. Nick Says:

    First one in? I hope you guys and gals decide to add an environment/sustainability category. Here’s hoping I make it.

  2. tilda Says:

    Never submitted before.. Nervous? A tad bit.

  3. AJ Says:

    Hmm…after submitting I got a message saying my site was already submitted…any ideas?

  4. Tyme Says:

    Very excited is an understatement…not that it shows or anything… :)

  5. tilda Says:

    I keep getting ‘one second were fixing something, man there are a lot of these things…’
    I guess I’ll just keep trying.

  6. Corman Says:

    Aj: I got the same message and I only submitted once.

  7. Dan Says:

    I received the same message, so I’m hoping that it’s just a quirk and my sites made it in. I’ve submitted two sites that definitely steer away from the tech areas - here’s hoping!

  8. Colin Devroe Says:

    Please read the update. If you got an error, just submit again. We are doing much better now but holy crap people. ONE AT A TIME!

  9. Scrivs Says:

    AJ could you try again to make sure everything is working okay? Nick, you still have to submit your site ;-)

  10. eric Says:

    Haha, after the first time, I can’t tell whether that ‘already submitted’ message is the error Colin mentioned or if it really has been submitted.

  11. AJ Says:

    All set, no more problems :)
    Just made me re-type my nice description again, other then that thanks for fixing the bug so quickly. Regards everyone and g/l.

  12. Pinkprank Says:

    Im submitttttting this site to 9rules

    The 9rules Network which is basically a portal site for well designed sites with interesting content. The sites listed are usually a safe bet and keep me entertained for awhile.
    So far they have held three 24-hour submission rounds with hundreds of bl…

  13. Armando Says:

    Excellent, I just submitted my site. Had to re-submit it because I got an error message, but all is well now. Good luck to everyone!

  14. ralph dagza Says:

    Tacos for everyone if i make the cut!

  15. Cm Says:

    I been waiting for this a entire year. I hope i can enjoy this amazing community. Thanks for reading this lines, but i`m really happy to submit my page. Greeting from Chile. Another angle fror the same news and ideas. Sincerely, Cm.

  16. ralph dagza Says:

    my website is a complete random site pretty much non linear so i hope they add a category for sites like mine

  17. Brandon Says:

    I keep getting this message:
    “This site has already been submitted. We\’ll get back to you soon.”

    Did it go through or no?

  18. eric Says:

    I’ve never gotten anything but the ‘this site has already been submitted’ message. Has it really? The first time it cried wolf and I’m not sure I can trust it. ;)

  19. tilda Says:

    All done, good luck everyone! I submitted two sites… No problem right?

  20. Scrivs Says:

    No problem at all.

  21. cavemonkey50 Says:

    I hope my site made it through. I think I got a successful message before. I just tried again and I got a message that my site has already been submitted, so hopefully that’s right.

  22. ralph dagza Says:

    Just wondering if i submition went through?
    btw i posted this on digggggg

  23. ralph dagza Says:

    correction “i” to “my”

  24. Chris Morrell Says:

    Will you guys be publishing a lists of the sites that were submitted? I recieved the error, resubmitted and it went through, just curious if it actually made it in or not. Hopefully people won’t crash the form again.

  25. Scrivs Says:

    Chris, you are good. We don’t publish the list simply because I’m sure some people wouldn’t like that and there is no other reason really for us to do it.

  26. cavemonkey50 Says:

    Scrivs, did my site make it through?

  27. Scrivs Says:

    Yep, the form seems to be all stable and everything so unless you get an error saying otherwise your sites should be received by us.

  28. cavemonkey50 Says:

    Thanks for checking. Now I can finally go to bed. Zzz…

  29. Brad Garland Says:

    My strategy of holding off a bit and letting the rush die down paid off, no problems for me!

  30. Scrivs Says:

    Both of your sites went through just fine.

  31. Phil Renaud Says:

    Oh thank goodness the day finally arrived, I’ve pretty much just been sitting around biting my nails waiting since my site launched :)

    Thanks for the shot at 9rulesness, guys :)

  32. Devin Says:

    If you did submit and you do want your site published go comment here.. since there’ll be, what, I’m guessing 700 applicants? I want to check out some of ‘em.

  33. Michael Ono Says:

    Shoot I think I double posted by accident. Darn touchpad. Good luck everyone!

  34. Elliot Swan Says:

    So how many have submitted so far?

  35. AHFX Says:

    I’m excited as this is my first try to get in. Good luck to everyone and thanks again for the opportunity to join the community!

  36. Eddie Sowden Says:

    Is the list locked this time round? Or will people see where the list is in their referers and be able to see it again?

    Hopefuly it is 4th time lucky for me :)

  37. AsceticMonk Says:

    I think I submitted mine okay, could anyone make sure for me. Thanks! To everyone else who submitted, good luck!

  38. weisheng Says:

    Wow the excitement is palpable, even if I don’t get in I’m sure there’s some great new content to look forward to. I’m submitting my site just hours before my Spanish exam, crazy ;)

  39. Joe Anderson Says:

    Sent!

  40. kinji Says:

    I sent my website but i’m french, i just hope there’s no problem with the language.. (I sent it because i can’t find any restrictions about country and/or languages !)

    Wish luck to all :)

    I was really waiting for this, I’m really excited !

  41. Rob Says:

    Sorted.

    Waiting for the rush to die is clearly the way forward *smile*

  42. Prashant Says:

    I just submitted my website!

    Good luck everyone :)

  43. AJ Says:

    I’ve also created a place for everyone to share their links, you can check it out here. Man, the suspense is killing me, and we’re only 5 in a half hours in, then im sure it’ll take a little bit for the staff to pick sites
