It was my first and most successful site ever (my baby *^_^*). So I guess you can understand how hard the decision was. But unfortunately I didn't have enough time anymore - I couldn't update this site as often as I wanted, as it would have deserved.
You may have recognized that we didn't finish the last competition .... we really wanted to but thousands of technical problems (which seemed to appear out of nowhere) made that impossible. I want to apologize to the people who nominated their sites and won't get anything in return ~ I'm really sorry, please forgive me.
Just for the records (and those who are interested): TSPA were online for exactly 3 years. During this period of time we had 17 competitions with about 2550 nominees. I designed 15 different layouts for the site. But I didn't work on it alone: Over the past 3 years 6 judges helped me rating the sites and finding the winners.
Last but not least I want to thank all the people who visited the site, participated in one way or another, sent me fansigns (I really appreciated that *g*), signed the guestbook, or helped me in some way. My special thank goes to: Doan, Jewel, Rachel, Seejay, Zoe and El-Giliath (TSPA's wonderful judges).
What else can I say? Oh, yeah - a word to all the webmasters out there ... you have all great sites, even if you didn't win one of our competitions. Please keep on working on them.
I closed this site but that doesn't mean I'm gone forever - I still have my other sites ... so if you liked this site, maybe you want to visit the other ones too? Also my guestbook will remain online for you to sign it and say goodbye or something like that. While working at TSPA I had contact to many webmasters all over the world and every one of them was such a great person ~ so I hope we won't lose touch just because I decided to close this site.
Well, that's all I have to say for now.
Love, Anika
