And for those who missed that thread a while back when I was making the top 30 list, the reason for making this is very simple.

The Players Ball was created to give back to the webmaster community by recognizing the players in our industry. We do the Big Woody Awards, that's one way, we have webmaster MC's (KB and I) and a webmaster DJ (Evan XPays). Every opportunity to thank a sponsor of the party will also be inplace, giving them the most recognition throughout the night.

But there's ways of optimizing this concept of saluting the webmasters, especially the biggest players. A poster on foam core at the door as people walk in. Let's those big players feel appreciated as they walk into a Player event, and shows the other players that we respect them for their accomplishments.

We'll also have another poster for the top 30 Players who have helped the Players Ball through the years (minus sponsors because then we'd have way too many). Sponsors get the recognition all the way from the site, the hype going into it and then the actual night of the Ball with their thank you's and plasma screen display of their URL's.

So, we just like to maximize every opportunity to turn the spotlight around on the webmasters.

I think it's a good idea.
