The site awards for 2017 are coming in January 2018. Members will get to vote for winners in a bevy of categories and others will be selected based on contributions to the site. January 2018 will also mark the 10th year anniversary of the site. As a countdown and retrospective, each month we’ll review the stats and present the awards as they would have gone down (minus the categories based on features that weren’t available yet or the ones that require member voting). Last month, we looked at 2010. This month, we look back at 2011.
2011 – A Look Back
The site underwent a major redesign midway through the year in 2011, taking a big leap towards resembling the site we see today. Some of the major enhancements added included the ability to track your collection, five new categories during the course of the year (Multi-Sport, Golf, MMA, Wrestling, and Boxing), set galleries, the stats area, member profile pages, member directory, submission processing, “Things to Do” page showing sets that were near having all images submitted, a games area featuring a different jigsaw puzzle card each week, a Facebook page, and page sponsorships.
Here’s a screenshot of what the site looked like in August of 2011 courtesy of the Wayback Machine:
