EasyCFM... Thinking back... Did mention the tutorial sweepstakes?

I was just thinking about how far EasyCFM.COM has come since I launched it in 2002 (after leaving CFM-Resources) and how many people have gotten help or bettered themselves through it and it really does blow my mind away...

I am always in awe of how good this community is to each other. Being part of other communities (c#, flash, photoshop, etc) I can say that the ColdFusion community always impresses me with their willingness to help other developers and how far they go to ensure people get it. It really has come a long way..... here's an example:

Back in the day; I remember starting out the first tutorial sweepstakes and giving away a couple hundred bucks to to the winner... this time around I am giving three prizes for the winning tutorial submissions...

Winner - $1,000.00 in cash
Second Place - $750.00 in cash
Third Place - $500.00 in cash

How awesome is that... I mean I know its not about the money (at least not to me) but it shows me that the site has matured and that it's come a long way since back in '02.

Anyways... just thinking outloud :)
