CONGRATULATIONS

Your website has been awarded the " STARFIRE AWARD "

From time to time, we find, often by accident, Websites that have that 'something special' - that mysterious element that sets them apart from all others.  They may not be top Award winning sites, be perfectly designed or receive hundreds of visitors each day, but they have that indefinable something that 'tugs at your heartstrings', 'sends you on an emotional trip' or lets you know that 'you have feelings that are not as yet fully explored'.

Websites such as this remain often unrecognised, and we, the two website owners involved with this Award, wish to reward in some small way, the immense pleasure we have received from their efforts.

The "STARFIRE AWARD" means that there are two (2) of us who have our own sites, and together we sincerely evaluate other sites, and take our time to carefully select those we feel are "Uniquely Special" to receive our Award.

There has been NO application and NO criteria to meet.  WE EITHER FOUND YOU OR SOMEONE PASSED YOUR WEBSITE URL THROUGH TO US!

Websites being assessed are reviewed by two persons totally unrelated to each other whether in person or in website.  Both reviewers must agree on the value of a website or no Award will be offered.  No winners list will be maintained and under no circumstances will correspondence will be entered into UNLESS you are having problems receiving your Award.

Being a recipient of the " STARFIRE AWARD " carries, for you, two obligations only:

1)   That if your website ever reverts to an adult orientated site, therefore becoming an unsafe surf area for children, your Award will be revoked immediately.

2)   The " STARFIRE AWARD " must be linked back to both our websites which are as follows:

OTAKOU NEW ZEALAND ONLINE
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~portserv/index.htm
and
UFO's - A NEW WORLD
http://geocities.com/CapitolHill/Congress/2301/

Again, CONGRATULATIONS
