I just wanted to raise a glass to Steve once again for the wonderful contribution, bringing up the forum from the ashes like the Phoenix. He has been a friend first to many of us, an excellent moderator, and a great contributor. Steve going out of his way to make this forum so great in a few days, that couldn't be done by Backpacker's tech team in over a year.
I raise my glass to you my friend and a sincere Thank you.
Sincerely,
Darren (AKA Tigger, Woods pouncer)

I couldn't agree more. He's rescued us from a truley dismal fate to be sure. I too, again, offer my sincere thanks to Steve.

I sent him an email a week or so ago, expressing this very sentiment. He has our undying gratitude, but little else from this endeavor. Maybe we should take up a collection, and send him tequila.

Steve is #1 in my books! Steve, you've done an awesome job, and you are still here even after all the moaning and griping from us. You must have the patience of a saint.  |

Jeeze, you guys are talking like I'm not even here!
I certainly appreciate the remarks, and I have to say I am as surprised as anyone at the way this has all worked out. To see so many names from years past is especially fun since I have been doing this moderator stuff since the first days of the inter webs. I actually tested use of some footprint art to decorate the forum, then decided against it.
Thank you! Carry on…

I had written this place off. I came back here on accident and find these forums in which one can formicate! What kind of miracle is this? Have the powers of corporate marketing evil been defeated?

Steve who, did what? I'll drink to that. Just remember, no good deed goes unpunished.

Just remember, no good deed goes unpunished. You can rest assured that Steve was more than adequately abused along the way. On that count, we must also thank Backpacker for acquiescing to this irregular home-away-from-home as gesture of goodwill toward the community, despite how different it is from what they hoped (and paid) for. |

I was on the Backpacker website yesterday looking for an article and was reminded of what an unmitigated disaster the whole thing is, and how lucky we are that Steve salvaged the forums. He really did an amazing job.
