Update! The millionth site has been created, and to further celebrate the occasion, Wetpaint has launched the Golden Paint Can Awards to honor the best of the best sites in the network. StartCheck votingout forthe yourfull list of favoriteswinners!

Wetpaint users like you from hundreds of countries around the world have created nearly one million Wetpaint sites. As we count down to the 1 millionth milestone, we’d like to thank you taking us along on this collaborative ride!
We Have a Million Reasons to Celebrate...Starting with You! - One Million Wetpaint SitesTo celebrate this momentous occasion, Wetpaint will reward the one-millionth site creator with the chance to give back to their community and the planet!

For one year, Wetpaint will offset the carbon emissions of both the home and car of the millionth site creator. Additionally, Wetpaint will sponsor the carbon offset of a local school or non-profit organization selected by the lucky millionth site creator.

Taking it one step further: if the millionth site is created as a referral generated by an email or website, Wetpaint will offer up the same thank-you package to the referrer!
Learn more about how it all works below.

Create the Millionth Site

  • Any time is a great time to start a Wetpaint site for your family, sports team, favorite TV show, hobby, pet, special interest, etc.

  • Get inspired and get a head start on your site with some of our template ideas.

Refer the Millionth Site Creator

  • Mention the Wetpaint Millionth Site program on your site, blog, or social network profile, with a link or by using one of these handy badges.

  • Send messages to your site members, email your friends, send MySpace and Facebook messages containing a link to the Wetpaint homepage (http://www.wetpaint.com).

PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT!

  • ABOUT THE THANK-YOU PACKAGES: Wetpaint will offset the approximate annual emissions of the average U.S. home (25,210 lbs. of CO2), the average U.S. vehicle (8,403 lbs. of CO2), and 50,419 lbs.of CO2 of emissions of the organization of choice of the millionth site creator and referrer, if eligible, for a total value of $500 per package. Applying offsets to be provided by Terrapass.

  • AWARDING A THANK-YOU-PACKAGE TO A REFERRER: To qualify as the referrer of the one-millionth Wetpaint site, you must link to the Wetpaint homepage: (http://www.wetpaint.com). Wetpaint will do its best to track the millionth site back to your referral link or message. If the referring site or email can't be tracked, Wetpaint won't be able to reward the referral.

  • ELIGIBILITY & INVALID ENTRIES: The millionth site creator and referrer must be unique individuals — meaning one user is not eligible to receive both thank-you packages. If Wetpaint determines that the one-millionth site was created by a bot or as part of a batch creation of sites, it will not qualify for the thank-you package.

  • NOTIFICATION OF THANK-YOU-PACKAGE RECIPIENT: If Wetpaint cannot contact the creator or referrer of the millionth site within three days after the millionth site is created, Wetpaint will give the thank-you package to the 1,000,001st site, and so on, until a user responds. Note: Wetpaint will attempt to contact the creator of the millionth site by email or via notification through the site's private messaging service — make sure that you secure your Wetpaint member account with a valid email address you check frequently and also set your email notification preferences in your Wetpaint member profile to receive an email alert when someone sends you a message through the site.
