    HTGuide.com, you knew it, now a few more people will know it!

    Published as one of the Best of the Web in the Forbes Best of the Web online publication. Folks we are in a select group of just a few sites that made this list. I knew nothing about this until a good friend of the Guide and myself let me know about this. Thanks Jim.

    I'm quite the proud Poppa, and Kudos to Kevin too for keeping HTG fine tuned. Thanks to you guys most of all, that make HTG what it is. Simply, one of the best places to learn about home theaer on the net. Now Forbes knows it-

    Forbes, Home Theater Best of the Web

    Here is the review, quoted from Forbes for your viewing for a limited time:

    HTGuide Forum



    A good place for high-end audio and video freaks to congregate to discuss everything from the newest equipment to the latest DVDs. Sites like HTGuide and HomeTheaterForum are what make the Web an invaluable resource for enthusiasts of any topic--why be restricted to the musings of one reviewer when you can read thousands of posts rating and sharing impressions of the latest high-end gear? The site is really strong on community assistance--discussing do-it-yourself projects ranging from one user's attempt to wire his new condo to the creation of custom-theater layouts to optimal speaker placement. Also offers a classified ads section.

    BEST: There are a number of manufacturer-specific sections, all of which are popular. The section on Rotel is one of the most popular on the Web, with 23,000 posts.

    WORST: HDTV discussion sparse.

              To Doug (and everyone):

              This is a big high-five to all that make this place what it is. I know now, more than ever, my decision to sponsor HT Guide made all the sense in the world. I am honored to be a part of this elite group of folks.

              But to you Doug, the moderators, and administrators --- GREAT JOB!!!

                  Congratulations.
                  I have been monitoring and then posting to this site for 6 months and was very impressed from the beginning.
                  I have learned an amazing amount from just reading the various postings.
                  Not just about technology but about how and what to listen to in music and what the affects the different sounds.
                  You guys should be pround of yourself.
                  Regards
                  Mitchell

                    This is cool! Congrats Doug ol' buddy, and Kevin and Andrew. You do the heavy lifting....

                    Hmmm. Well. Guess I'm off to come up with some new material for Audio Hideout, At The Movies, Spaced Out, etc.

                            Yay for us! This deserves the ceremonial banana for sure. :banana: Hmmm.... now I have to get Club Parasound mentioned in a magazine too, huh? Looks like us moderators may have some work headed our way if we're going to get some new faces around here!

                              Let me be redundant and post my congratulations as well. This is definitely one of my favorite HT sites, and I keep coming back for the wealth of knowledge and friendly atmosphere here. :T

                                              Ready to hit the big 4000 members!

                                              Hi,

                                              And, as I post this we are at 3996 members - I'd say only hours from cracking the 4000 mark! :banana:

                                              When I joined about 18 months ago there were 2000....

                                              And we've still maintained the same positive, friendly helful tone...

                                              Way to go... :T

                                              Congratulations all 3996 of us!

                                                          You'd be surprised at how fast it'll grow. The forum I run went from just over 4 million posts and 45,000 members to over 9 million posts and over 130,000 members in a little over a year
