Every year asp.netPRO magazine runs a “Readers' Choice Awards,” inviting readers to cast their vote for the best resource in a variety of categories. In the 2006 survey, 4GuysFromRolla.com ended up as the runner up for best Community Resource (coming in second to The Code Project). For a full list of winners and the categories polled, see the asp.netPRO Readers' Choice Awards 2006 results page.
Back in the late 90s, when the “Web” was super duper hot, there were a ton of sites that meted out awards to technical sites, and 4Guys won their fair share of these. In fact, back when these things seemed to be important, I actually maintained an “Awards” page on 4Guys. As you can see, we were given a 5-star award by itmWeb and noted twice by TechSightings.com, which were both something to get excited about back in the dot com days. (Heh, those were some fun times back then, everything was so new and exciting. As a society, we had reached a “new economy,” where the old rules no longer applied! It certainly was fun until reality reared it's ugly head, not much unlike the housing bubble here in San Diego in, say, 2002/2003.)
