Mudders,
We are coming up on the 6 month anniversary when Woody took our sorry butts in from the cold after SOR gave us the boot.
During the first couple of months:
1. We complained about board features and Woody added more features.
2. We complained about the forum software and he upgraded to a new version.
3. We pleaded for keeping the SOR archives and he and Keep got those for us.
4. We demanded the old messages when he upgraded and he kept the archive messages.
5. We brought our verbose culture from SOR and all our digital images and have loaded GB after GB to Woody's server.
Woody has done this for the 80/100 enthusiasts and has requested very little in return.
During the past 6 months:
1. We have posted 16,000 messages and every message had to be read by Gumby, our section's moderator.
2. Gumby has a family, a job, and vehicles to maintain; yet he unselfishly moderates the board for us day in and day out.
3. There have been several POR regulars that have joined ih8mud and we have been very, very fortunate that they left the 'down-n-dirty' culture over at POR and, for the most part, have kept this forum courteous and a fun place to spend time. I don't think things would be as peaceful here without Gumby's influence!
So, you ask, "why all the platitudes Beo?" Well, I'm glad you asked.
