Is there any group for resellers like there is a BBB online to help weed out the good the bad and the theives?

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe that's something I could add to resellerinfo, if someone would like to help with it.

It would be a way to "Police" our selves...an alliance of independant resellers.

Ill help:)

At first I thought that might be a bad idea, as I could just see it being a slanging match or a huge flame war, but maybe it has some merit. I wonder how difficult it would be to build something like The Webhost Guild ( http://www.whg.org ), but do it right instead of their 'good old boys' club they have there where it's only available to the big companies. I suppose the problem would be the same one they have, which is a conflict of interest in which webhosts are recommending themselves. If we could get interest from a few of the web hosting reviews sites as well as maybe someone like wired.com or zdnet.com (no easy task) and build some credibility into it then it sounds like a winner.

Hmmm. some sort of 'stamp of approval' for member sites based on a Thwarte certificate system maybe? Or just a member number stamped on the graphic with a database of member sites to prevent people just nabbing the graphic.

Probably not a top ten as it'll promote division but possibly a outlaw list like they have at the post office. That's a good idea as many hosts have been active in the past hunting rogue operators as they change names etc.

hmmm... potential?

I agree, no top ten system. Dana, did you have some other ideas. Would you like to included it on my site, or create a totally new site for it?
