The few, the proud, the Web literate!
Calabasas, CA — 8/20/2004 – After 100s of submissions and weeks of voting the search for the best Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising fan site in the US has come to an end. The jury is out and the vote is final.
All websites were judged on originality, design layout, functionality and content by a crack team of NovaLogic web experts. After days of deliberation, gallons of coffee and more than a few browser crashes, a shortlist of the best sites was drawn up to go forward to the final round of judging. This list was also published on www.novaworld.com so that the NovaWorld community could cast their vote.
The US winners are:
Overall Winner: http://jointopsworld.com/
Runners Up:
http://www.jointoperationsarmory.com
http://www.jojungle.com
http://www.texas-death.com/OfficialJOsite/index.html

A commended effort award also goes to http://jointops.webbegin.com, which narrowly missed the final top five runners up list.
Overall Best Fan Site as voted by the NovaWorld Community:

The first place US winner will receive a check for $500, an exclusive commemorative plaque, a signed copy of the game and other Joint Ops prizing. Each of the US runners up will also receive signed copies of the game and exclusive Joint Ops merchandise.
All winners will be recognized, with the official stamp of approval, as ‘Official Joint Ops Fan Sites’ and will be promoted on www.novalogic.com and www.novaworld.com.
