I started viewing FWA in 2005 when I started at The Designory.
Congrats on the 20 millionth hit, that is awesome!
I think that FWA will continue to be a great resource for recognizing and showcasing some of the best work on the web. It's certainly one of the "go to" spots for setting the standard in online creativity.

Hello all!
I just want to say CONGRATS! FWA has been an inspiration to me in my web and graphic design career-let's keep our creative juices flowing for YEARS to come.
This has probably been my favorite site on the net since I found it. It tops my bookmarks list and it's one of the first sites I visit daily. Keeping up on the sites of the day reminds me how I need to push the limits in my own design. My goal is to have on of my sites featured on the FWA!

A huge congratulations to the FWA team for creating the premier website review portal in the world. I know i speak for many in the creative industries when i say that there's nothing else close.
FWA is the "5 o-clock fix" for every designer (and many developers) in our studio... a much needed antidote to the daily grind, providing incredible inspiration.
Working in a market of 4 million people, it occasionally makes for frustrating viewing, knowing the budgets behind the work of C.P.B, North Kingdom and Bad Assembly are so vast.
Maybe FWA could consider additional awards where technology and budget are considered... but then, the singularity of the site is part of it's appeal... simply the worlds best. We live in hope that one day we will crack SOTD with limited resources and a particularly great idea!
Congrats again guys, we've been with you since v1.0 and will continue to check in daily.
Respect.

Future of FWA is Adobe, they know where the adobe goes, based on Technology, Design & Usability aspects. Its unpredictable, when I saw FWA 2006 new version, whereas the other award sites missed out.
You guys are doing a wonderful job for having created a sexy site. The site where I never miss for even a day, which makes me to visit 10-20 times a day.
