It's the way their voting system is designed - you're encouraged to vote in at least 50% of the categories, thereby entering the draw for the prizes. In such a setup the name-recognition factor reigns supreme. Almost everyone knows the web site happycow (but not for their forums), even if they don't ever go to any web forums or know what a web forum is.

Yea, I figured as much, but perhaps they should be eliminated based on the fact that their forum is virtually nonexistent??

This was frustrating to me too. I wrote to someone a couple of weeks ago, when the paper mag came out, to find out the winners. I think I groaned out loud when I saw Happy Cow.

VB, PPK, VF, PETA2....tons of forums used way more than Happy Cow.

The fact that happycow won as favorite forums is BS. Their forum is completely dead!!

They seem to have some sort of vendetta with veggieboards.

Exactly!!
