Well done to Brett and all the mods. That's some great recognition. The good thing is is appears to be improving all the time.

Well done for WebmasterWorld but have you read this:

Under AllTheWeb, why they came second to Google on Outstanding search engine:
* Google still rules, but the runner up [AllTheWeb] is gaining.
* Best interface, best news search by far, easiest to use
* Big, fresh, variety of options and better relevance than Google
* Both Teoma and AllTheWeb have created fantastic systems and deserve some recognition.

... and then Google win best news search engine section? Is this a joke or a serious mistake?

You´re not supposed to read that closely ;). Just look at the awards and be happy ;).

[BlobFisk]

Heartfelt congratulations to Brett, all the admins and the mods.

Without doubt, well deserved and long overdue.

Beats me! Fast cannot have the best news search by far and end up as number 3 in the same category! It simply doesn`t make sense.

[Liane]

Proud of you Brett! Your vision is second to none and WebmasterWorld remains one of my favourite, daily stops on the internet! Certainly well deserved! :)

> Well I don't see it as being aobut me, it's about the community. I could fall of the planet tomorrow and there would 5-6 able bodies that could take my place.

Take that bow, Brett -- good communities have good leaders, and you've helped guide this one to its success.

> Beats me! Fast cannot have the best news search by far and end up as number 3 in the same category! It simply doesn`t make sense.

Let me clarify. That's not our comment about FAST, "Best interface, best news search by far, easiest to use." That was a comment from one of the people who likes FAST. Many, many more people when voting for news search engine said they favored Google for news search. Probably best if I take the comment out, since it's clearly confusing folks :)

When are you going public? Or have you already?

[skibum]

Sweet! Congrats to Brett, the admins, and mods. Awesome job!

[Allergic]

Bravo!
Congratulation for Brett and all the Admins and moderators.

<<Congrats Brett and all the admins and moderators who make this place work as smoothly as it does! >>

Yeap over the years I've visited many forums and various places that I'd rather not mention :)

But very few do I ever bother going back to...

I guess I'll be at WWW for a long time!

Thanks, sorry Special Recognition to all who work & contribute.

Congratulations Brett, admins, mods, and everyone here. I'm sure if there were more awards like this WebmasterWorld would win them as well.

[fathom]

Take that bow, Brett -- good communities have good leaders, and you've helped guide this one to its success.

Now that's a statement worth reading twice.

Without the leadership the community would be where the "thugs" hang out.

As it stands - WebmasterWorld is where the best hang out...

following the lead of a master heehee ;)

[Midwest]

but search engine geeks flock to WebmasterWorld to confer.

Search Engine geeks?!?

I guess if the shoe fits... :)

[xbase234]

Congratulations on a site well done.

[grnidone]

It's about time...you've put a lot of work into this site, Brett. Good Job.

[jaybee]

Kudos.

And a whole lot more is forthcoming

Congratulations to Brett and to the rest of the long term regulars.

This forum sets standards that can be used as an example for everyone. This award confirms that. I boast about this place to my friends, not about the content(they glaze over), but about the inclusive and supportive culture you have developed. It's a place I am proud to be associated with.

[WebRookie]

Congratulations to Brett, the moderators and community on a well-deserved award! The best forums around.

[cfx211]

Content is king, and this is one of the few places you can find real world answers to your problems from people who are in the same boat as you.

Great work all.

[jaski]

Congrats Brett and the Mods for the recognition and thanks for making this place so useful .. it has become an indispensable knowledge source. :)
