Congrats to all the winners!! Though I hadn't followed the top three winners, I was a big fan of the BSG mod. Was hoping it would win mod of the year.

Id like to send out a huge thanks to Bit-tech and all who voted for me. I am very happy with the third place because i honestly didnt think that id get top three finish with so many amazing mods in the running. Coming in third in a modding contest on bit tech is a huge honor because this truly is the home of the best modders in the world. And once again....


THANKS!!!!!

Haha, when don't Nick's mods come out first?

I really didn't appreciate having to register for a newsletter in order to vote - that was kind of cheesy. Oh wells.

And congrats to all the winners!

I have to send a huge thanks out to everyone who voted for me in this competition (and who voted and general) and I really am grateful of the support that everyone has given my mods. I also have to thank the bit-tech staff and the bit-tech community for once again making this the best place for modding in the world.

That's cos they are drop dead gorgeous.



A HUGE thanks to Bit Tech for their on going support for the modding community and of course to everyone who supported AppleCoreDuo over the past two years and voted. A victory for 'bedroom modding' i think!

Have a great 2009 all.

Yay! A worthy winner if there ever was one! [In my opinion at least ]

I knew it would be tough to hit top 3 rankings this year but I'm a bit sad about how Sinuskurve finished. Well, another year another chance for everyone.

And who knows, maybe once I moved to Austria and settled down for longer than 10 months I might even start my own mod. Because all those mods involved in the MotY [and those hundreds 'just' lurking around on the forums] are inspiring.

Congratulations to all who won! And all who took part in general!

Congratulations guys! I knew Nick would win again, Just like I know he will win next year.
I'd like to thank the (two) people who voted for me.
Being considered one of the top mods on the planet is a huge honor! I never thought my lowly P4 would make it this far. Thanks, Bit Tech!
