Glad I could bring back a good memory...
Keep turning the machine...now called Zealot...
With people like you around here, it does make it something I do enjoy doing. We have one of the best, if not THE best membership of any forum I have ever belonged to. The members ave made this forum "The Great Machine", and I am just happy that at a time when it was going to be lost, I got to jump in, and then with Rhaven right alongside, we put this forum back together. We built it, and they came. Revelle-Fan's contribution was the frosting on the cake. Gandolf and subnuke, spaceagent9, all joined and their help has been instrumental. The amount of managing this ins and outs of this forum that Rhaven does is immeasurable. I almost hesitate to say that because maybe they'll start attacking him! The amount that I delegate is incredible, and these guys just do it, and happily. I know when I have to stop doing this, this forum will continue in the same spirit, and is in great hands.
I also have to mention
Sanjay. He has put so much of his personal money into this forum, which does not pay for itself. I don't want to say how much that hack cost, but I could have purchased a small property in my town, with a house on it, for what he spent, and I live in an expensive small Connecticut town. We also have one of the most generous photo uploading policies of any forum I have known. Yes, occasionally we have to add more memory, but this forum sits on private servers, not "Go-Daddy" or some other forum, where if you miss a month's payment, it all deleted. They belong to Sanjay, that actually makes a big difference.
We do have a good deal going here. I hope it can last as long as possible.
