Admin Appreciation

[bigballofyarn]

Scott, Michael, VS Admin, Martyn Dale, Matej, Brian,

You are all amazing. You frequently fix issues at ridiculous times of day or night. You always go the extra mile to keep the ProBoards service running smoothly. I feel fortunate every day that I chose ProBoards as a teenager over other services. I've known some of you for half of my life. How amazing is that?

Did you move your thread

[bigballofyarn]

I don't have that power here...YET.

No. I posted it where I posted it for a reason, but someone else moved it.

[Michael]

Thank you for supporting ProBoards for such a significant portion of our existence! To many more happy and successful years!

Michael,

I still can't believe that this coming January will make my forum TWENTY years old. You will always have my appreciation and support.

Fascinating data! This continues to confirm what we already kinda knew, which is that once you hit a "critical mass" of users growth is exponential.

Michael,

Even though I technically don't like math, I've always been interested in statistics.

Further, when I created my forum as a teenager, I didn't necessarily foresee this growth. It's also hard to imagine being a member of a website for 20 years and having it impact people's lives. People on my forum have met one another, moved to other states to be closer to others, and have made positive, life-changing decisions because of the community. It's hard to comprehend that I created a place that influenced that many people.

I agree they are GOAT

BTW your forum can drive but not drink

[bigballofyarn]

dustys,

Christina's Forum walked into a bar and asked for threaded paneer. The bartender said, "Sorry. Per our last post, we can only serve yarn."


/Worst joke I've ever written.
