As I said in an earlier post. When I started this contest we had ~400 ratings. . .and now there is over 4500.
So here is the random # that was picked. . .
. . .and here is the person with that # rating. . .
Congratulations Linux716, I have sent you an email. . .once your email address is confirmed I can send your prize of choice.
Again, thanks to everyone who participated. I am sorry that I couldn’t give away more(but this is coming out of my own pocket). Maybe in future contests we can get sponsors and do 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.

Though, please don’t let this discourage you from continuing to rate the applications. Not only were you rating applications to win a chance at a $50 prize. . .but you were also improving the ‘Best of the Best’. . .click here for the list of categories.
We went from ~400 ratings to a whopping 4476 ratings. I have to say this is one of the best contests to date so far. I will be going through the rest of the ratings in the next day or two. . .
. . .stay updated to find out who won. . .

Everyone only has 7 days to get in their chances to win this contest. This has been one of the biggest contest InstallerApps.com has thrown.
When I started the contest there were only ~400 ratings. . .there’s ~3200 now.
The reason everyone should rate the applications is right HERE. Those ‘best of’ pages have become so much more useful now. This is the reason why I require readers to register. . .so there is no cheating. The more honest you rate the applications. . .the better those best of pages will get.

As of right now, everyone has Fifteen more days to go and rate as many applications/themes as you can.
I have noticed some users(I am watching all ratings) aren’t going back and rating some of our older applications. You are allowed to do this.
Remember each rating gets you a spot in this contest. If I were you, I would be going through each category and see if I have rated the applications in each one.
Note - If you aren’t aware of what I am talking about. . .click here. . .and check out the contest we are having during the month of April.

So I have been working on another website for the past 2-3 weeks. I don’t have that much extra time but the little bit that I do has been going into this new project.
I got a few complaints about posting Summerboard Themes a couple months back. After much thought I decided to quit posting them here and let the website concentrate on just iPhone/iPod Touch applications. Which is too bad since I got so close to 100 Summerboard Themes.
I decided to start a brand new website to archive every iPhone and iPod Touch Theme I can find. I am also working with iSpazio to get your themes(if they are good) available to the masses.
I don’t want to do too much self promotion but I would love for you to check out the website. The name is SMB Themes and the URL is
www.SMBThemes.com

I just wanted to take a moment and thank every reader that takes time out of their day to visit InstallerApps.com. Things have just gotten better and better over the past month or two and it wouldn’t be anything without you.
You make this website what it is. . .whether you are a new reader(Lexico) or an old reader(Pablos). . .I Thank You.

Results have been impressive. . .before the contest there were around 350 total ratings. Now there is over 700.
Just a reminder. A rating only counts when it’s for an actual application(not a post in the apple or site news categories).
Happy Rating. . .and Rate Honestly

NOTE - I will be tracking every new sign-up during this contest. . .any duplicate accounts will be deleted.
Much like the ‘comments contest’ I had previously. . .I would like to boost the # of ratings each application has(legitimately of course). I will be picking a ‘random rating’ that was made during the month of April only.
