Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 400327" data-attributes="member: 1">Could you guys provide a bit more info, rather than just URLs and site names.  Why are these sites the best ones out there?  What's there?  I'm mainly interested in your opinions on the sites - a short paragraph telling me why it should be included on the list would be extremely helpful. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'll probably list 10 or so (not a strict number) witha  description of each. Essentially, what we're talking about here are mini-reviews - something that will compel people to visit rather more than "It's good!" will. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Oh, and zdanboy ... no nominating your own site.  Everyone thinks their own site should be on the list.  I'm trying to find out here what other people think. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[Edit - this is fairly important.  I want to concentrate on sites that do something fairly unique, or which do the thing they do the best.  So "another news site" or "another messageboard" isn't really going to be the sort of thing I'm interested in, even if they are very good.  For example, IF I were including hosted sites, I'd put the Creature Catalog and (now gone, unfortunateloy) Jamis Buck's site on the list.  Both do something that isn't really covered elsewehere, and both do it extremely well.  But I'm not going to include the hosted sites because I figure that most EN World visitors already know about them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I want to point people towards really cool things that they might not otherwise find.]</blockquote>
