Round 5 Opens!

Written by Scrivs on October 24, 2006

Time is here! Submit your sites and sit back to enjoy the ride. Best of luck to all. If you have any questions this entry is the place to ask.

We will keep you updated throughout the day so no one is out of the loop. Also in the afternoon we will be in the Official 9rules IRC room so keep checking back on those times. Once again, good luck.

  1. seanrox Says:

    I just submitted my site. W00t. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Good luck to all the submissions coming in… my magic number was 951 submissions… we shall see…

  2. Andre Says:

    W00t - submitted!

    Am I the first? :D

  3. seanrox Says:

    Andre, I think we may have tied for first… I however got first comment :) for sure.

  4. Andre Says:

    Yeah, that’s because I’ve got slow internet and commenting lags, I’m sure. ;)

    200kbps down at best. Usually around 20kbps. :P

  5. maxpower Says:

    Good luck everybody!

  6. William Wilkinson Says:

  7. Nick Says:

    Submitted.

    Just wondering, is display name the title of my site?

    Good luck to everyone.

  8. Aaron Says:

    Submitted! :D

  9. Chanpory Says:

    Does “Name” and “9rules Display Name” in the form refer to the site name beign submitted or to the blogger’s name?… Sorry if this is a dumb question… been working late.

  10. AsceticMonk Says:

    Hahaha, I am laughing myself. This is my fourth submission already. Will I get in? I don’t have much confidence, but what I have to lose. Good luck to everyone!

  11. Kyle Korleski Says:

    I have submitted my site. Good luck to everyone that submits!

  12. Devin Says:

    For those unaware, the IRC server is irc.freenode.net in #9rules (more info).

  13. Tobie Langel Says:

    Same here…!

    This probably comes a bit too early regarding my blog, but who knows…

  14. seanrox Says:

    AsceticMonk: 4th submission?! Well maybe this will be your lucky day. If anything, you can at least say you got to be comment #5 :)

    It will be interesting to see all the new sites that get in.

    I’ve been following the 9rules community for a while and from what I can tell, everyone seems to be good people which is nice.

    Good luck and much Guinness to all. If you’re not old enough for beer, well have some kool aid :)

  15. Scrivs Says:

    Haha Sean and Andre you guys weren’t even in the Top 10.

  16. seanrox Says:

    Hey Scrivs. Not even in the top 10. Bummer. Do we at least get the home version of 9rules as a consolation prize for trying to be #1? ;)

  17. mayvelous Says:

    My very first submission goes in there. :D
    Finger cross!

  18. Andre Says:

    Aw, that’s too bad. For the five minutes leading up to midnight (for you guys), I was refreshing every few seconds.. Ah well. :)

    9rules…

    This morning 9rules opened up it’s 5th round of submissions. One of great things about 9rules is that you can only submit your site during these membership rounds. Only a small number of sites are actually excepted from each round.
    For those not …

  30. kris Says:

    This couldn’t come at a better time. I just launched the version 3. design of the site. :-)

    Good luck everyone.

  31. TechZ Says:

    Your new design is really good Sean. Good Luck!

  32. Balazs Says:

    Just submitted now, I live in the UK, so waiting for Midnight Eastern would be around 5AM. Good luck to everyone.
    Just one question: In the last round there was a box to write about ourselves. I’m guessing with all the submissions you won’t have time to read through everything.

  33. Sravan Says:

    Cool, I have submitted my site though :)

  34. Oliver White Says:

    Just submitted - best of luck to everyone.

    This has been asked previously, but as of yet I don’t think it has been answered: Is the ‘Name’ in the submission form the site name, or your actual name? I opted for my actual name.

    Also, I stupidly forget to add my RSS address, and it won’t let me re-submit, so I have attached it below. Sorry, my bad.

  35. Chanpory Says:

    I’ve submitted! No confirmation e-mail, so hopefully it actually worked.

  36. LorriM Says:

    Good luck to everyone!!

    This is a fine site, and I am proud to be a part of the network.

    [...] If 9rules was to disappear tomorrow would our legacy be that we just couldn’t make a dime (we do make our money, just saying) or that we created something special to a number of people? What about any other web company that has started up in the last two years, what’s their legacy and were they even around long enough to have one? Today is our Round 5 and as of this writing we have been averaging over one submission per minute. [...]

    Hey TechZ.

    Nice to see you around the 9rules blog and thanks for the kind words on my site redesign. I got it done in perfect time for the 5 round of submissions.

    I hope to join the prestigious 9rules community of blogs. From what I’ve heard on a few podcasts my submission was around the 20th or so… at least I got first comment here… hehe…
