25 Years!

mswlogo · 08-08-2020, 02:08 PM

I started a similar forum around a high end audio brand around 2000. I ran it for 10 years and then handed off to a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable member. Just didn’t have the time for it. Still going with 5000 members. The brand even hosted special events for members only a few times.

I know about all the crap that goes on behind the scenes. One time even police got involved around one member. I was on a “shared” server that got infected a few times which is a PITA. I recall being in an IMax 3D Movie for Avatar and alarms going off on my phone that the site was being broken into. That spoiled that movie.

I think this site is fantastic. Don’t let the bad apples spoil what you did here.

Can't say thank you enough for all the continuous hard work and extensive time it takes to not just build an online community like this, but maintain it.

We all still love you! This forum has been a shining light throughout the years. Your tireless efforts have kept the forum clean and friendly so that we can get to the information. I am not sure why people think it is ok to harass you. I hope you shut them off.

I appreciate how much you helped in the early years of Snake Eyes, hosting for me and other small local sites.

We do need a forum fest.... unfortunately we should not this season.

The lake is the busiest I have ever seen this year and I only hope that means more people use your site for the 25 years of information that is here.

It is fun to go back and read posts from years ago and get reacquainted with old forum friends.

We all wish you well. Visit when you can.. You are always welcome at my house!
