[QUOTE="Warden, post: 1745013, member: 11006"] I hear you on that one. A while back, I thought that the PDF industry perhaps needed its own awards recognition as a shot in the arm... a chance for us to look at ourselves and hand out awards to those who did the best, or something along those lines. But the input that was coming in was crazy and all across the board until it became obvious that no one wanted the same thing. It seemed to come down to "How can we set this up so that I can win?" Not good. I think that the site works very well and comes across as a massive and open fan site, so perhaps it's because it doesn't feel as fun as a fan site for those involved with putting it together on a daily basis. I check the news page daily, along with the Publishing threads for obvious reasons, but the side column with the latest thread postings and topics has really drawn my attention lately -- that's how I found this discussion, so it works like a charm. Maybe don't worry about the content so much as the focus: who do you want to appeal to do and concentrate your efforts on pleasing? If the fans are happy, then you should be happy. If someone isn't, they can stop coming here. [/QUOTE]
