I am not sure how many of you may be interested in this news, but in the world of internet forums this is HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT.
Today RWD was accepted into the "Big Boards" group at TAZ (TheAdminZone). TAZ is one of the most respected and vibrant sites on the 'net for people who own/manage an internet forum - and they have a special section dedicated only to those Admins who qualify for their Big Board sections. Among the qualifications are:
* Contains significant content in your niche
* Demonstrates a commitment towards community growth.
How does this affect our members?
While immediate affects may be limited, the independent recognition of our site as being THE leader in our niche is undeniable and significant. Now having access to a broad range of tools, information and networking will enable us to extend our reach and our depth even further. Ultimately this will translate into our members seeing even more valuable projects and information sponsored by RWD and our sister sites.
Our intent is to continue leading the way with the kinds of programs you have seen already, such as:
*
The Agency Code of Ethics*
Men's Code of Conduct*
Survey of Cross-Cultural Marriage and Divorce*
The GoodWife Report (on IMB Affiliate Program Performance)And soon, you will see release of our IMBRA Compliance Kit and other publications - ALL of which have been developed and published
to AID and ASSIST *YOU*, the members of RWD.
I know some of you hear all sorts of 'noise' on the 'net - and some of it is directed at RWD and much of it is not so kind (or worse). Clearly - unequivocally - that is resulting from those who are jealous of what we have accomplished, or those who would undermine our stance in favor of ethics, honesty and integrity.
As we celebrate a small bit of recognition for RWD - it is important to always remember that we are a community made up of individual members and our purpose is to be a valuable resource for our members - and we are - and we will continue to be.
