Great Job MetroJacksonville I've been telling Everyone I know to check this site out. I Love this site for its News, Forums, Photos, and Stories. Thanks Alan too bad your with fox news :'( but your right about this site MetroJacksonville is #1 :)
Dan, Ennis, Steve, and Stephen have done a great job! I hope this is just the beginning of Metro Jacksonvilles influence regarding local issues. National exposure and recognition of this site is well deserved...
Keep up the good work gentlemen!
Congratulations!!
very nice, much deserved.
I wonder if that could be translated to say "with the Times-Union having become the bastion of the right-wing nut cases and home of yellow journalism for the tea bagging set that people who really want apolitical news of whats going on in this city gladly embrace MetroJacksonville as a fantastic source for information, ideas and consensus building articles about where this city needs to go"
Even if that is just my slant on things, you guys have a wonderful site, fantastic articles, and never fail open my eyes to great new ideas.
Good job!
Mr. Mayor MetroJacksonville will see you now.
Congrats to all involved for getting this great exposure. Good job.
Hahahaha, we would get recognized by the most liberal guy at Fox News. Now if only Rachel Maddow will give us praise.......
Congrats Metrojax!! This is well deserved praise for all the hard work the founders have put into making an amazing place to meet and discuss important issues about our city and society as a whole.
Again guys, dammit congratulations! All of this recognition, KUDOS, pat on the back(s), you guys are now on the national stage and in the national spotlight and in essence, has put Jax on the map. Look for METROChicago, METRONewYork, METROGainesville, METROBaldwin, etc. in the future (that's what you should do time permitting); get a head or Director for each "METRO" in whatever city with the corporate location in Jax; and oh, we're waiting for you to build that 90 story skyscraper in downtown Jax which will be your corporate Headquarters, and, renovate some of these empty historical scrapers in the core!

Congratulations MetroJax. Well deserved. I said in one of my "Suggestions and Comments" in the Feedback forum a while back that MJ had a special opportunity to serve our community in the new age and I am glad to see others think the same. Keep up the good work.
P.S. But that skyline picture of Jax is a bit dated! What will people think? That we have preserved all our historic buildings? :D
Pretty impressive stuff here.
This is great. The people behind this site do one hell of a job. Congrats!!!!
Congrats. Your outstanding work deserves this recognition.
Congratulations!! Well deserved. Keep up the good work. We have a long way to go!!
Now the Hard Part? Selling this site to say foxnews or the Fla Times Union for big bucks ;)
Congrats! Well deserved.
I'm in Tampa and frequently tell people to check out this website. There are a lot of great articles here that other metros can learn from. Great Job!!
I concur with the general concensus..............great site to not only participate but to learn! I salute all conected with metrojax, both from the administration side as well as the participant side!
Great publicity. MetroJacksonville is a must read!
