As a builder, nothing is more satisfying to me than to see that a place of mine has been visited hundreds of times in the past day. Building a cool place takes a lot of time and effort, but the knowledge that hundreds of people are enjoying something I’ve made makes it worth it for me.

Ok, here’s the deal. Two unexpected things happened in this contest: there were more entrants that we anticipated, and there was quite a number of people visiting their own places to drive up visit counts (future contests will not be decided by visit counts).
