I cant really compare this year's reboot to 2000-2001 ones, because I wasnt much into web stuff then & I first time saw M1R in 2003. As in 2006, I participated in this years edition, without success & now I can say, the idea didn't work too well for me. It should give us some more freedom. The deadline made that I rushed my site again and it didnt turn out as I expected & it also pretty limited my creativity, because I was just focused more on the "corretness", just to be up to some "standards" & not much on creativity. Also the voting part wasn't a good Idea while every kid with variable IP or soemthing could vote as many times as the wanted. On the other hand, I cant agree that the sites weren't actually rebooted. Maybe the word "reboot" doesnt really fit here, but Almost everyone put his effort on "redesigning" his site ( some didnt do that and still was there & some just had their site designed by others, which I don't classify as a reboot. after all, everyone could go to some web rockstars to design a kickass site for them, so in this part the idea of M1R lacks) so for me it's kinda like reboot, however keeping your site down for a week or so, just by a predefined date looks pretty artificial. Anyway, I think some rules there need to be changed & I hope they'll do that. Good points on this topic Tom. Greets Well, I agree in some parts & in seme I don’t.

I'm all for new technology, CMS-driven sites etc, but I miss the experimentation sometimes, certainly with an event such as the Reboot where I'd love to see people tearing it up. Exactly.

Now everyone has their own blog and runs their portfolio through that or some other CMS, it's the boring side to Web 2.0 where functionality is more important than style. I also believe that's the way to go, because in the past everything was screwed up all over the page and just to update a link, you'd have to open up photoshop, flash and dreamweaver just to make it work. What I'd really like to see is people playing more with the CMS / blog tech and customising the way they function. To hell with the themes, let's hack the code, make errors and invent new styles from that. BTW: Where's Kurt Cloninger?
