Okay, this may be an example of beating a dead horse. TJ, if you choose to close this thread or delete it I understand. Enough is enough, and I may only be adding fuel to the fire. If so, then I apologize. But I simply felt that this needs to be said...

Folks, this is Todd's message board. He has final say. This is not a democracy, it is a personal website. He has graciously created and maintained this site for OUR enjoyment. He does not have to do this. He gets no paycheck for doing this.

Have any of you ever run a message board? Have you any inkling of an idea just how difficult and time consuming it is to run a message board? Even if money was not a concern (which is very definitely IS), the amount of time and effort that is expended is huge. I admin a very small ezboard. It takes A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT, and that message board could probably compete in size with the smallest forum here on SO. Its size is miniscule; its membership is around 40 people, with only around 5 who post regularly. Still, it eats up a lot of my time and energy. I can only barely realize just how much work it is for TJ here on this very large group of message boards.

Cut the guy some slack. sheesh!

Thank you Todd, for your wonderful message boards.

I completely agree with you and I thank TJ as well for providing a wonderful website. :)

I run a small message board myself, and I also help admin my friend's board, so yes, I know what it's like to run message boards. I also want to thank TJ for these boards...because I know he is sacraficing a lot of himself (and his money) to keep this place operational. He could easily just close this place and save his money, but he doesn't. And for that I think he deserves to be thanked.

Thanks TJ!! :yourock:

Not to mention his personal time spent mediating trouble, changing user names, etc., etc., etc...

Thanks TJ!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :yourock: :thanks:

Absolutely. Just moderating the Current Events board alone is enough to make anyone want to pull all their hair out!

TJ, this is your appreciation thread. Thanks for creating this little community.

Yeah TJ thanks for putting up with everyone and everything that happens here. I know I couldnt keep up with it all!

Thanks TJ for this MB. I am grate ful to be here.

Oh and about what i said about being your humble sex slave for life if you bring the sigs back...I didn't mean it cause i now don't care if they come back or not. ;)

Yeha, even tho the sigs are gone thanks for keeping these boards up. Because without them I would never have met Holly, Dorothy, or any other of my good friends that I talk to all the time. :)

yeah.

Aww, And i would have never meet you or Holly and all of my friends here. :bighug:

To show I'm not as upset as I was at first I wanna say I'm sorry TJ. I love these boards and you have done a great job with them. Forgive my hostile remarks. I tend to be a bit selfish and angry. PMS is a year-round thing for me. ;) It's your board, you run it the way you want to.

Thanks for all of your hard work TJ. It is appreciated.

I was getting tired of trying to come up with new Hawkeye quotes every week anyway...

As long as you don't eliminate this guy ;) I'm staying.

;)

Thank ya thank ya! :D

Thank you, TJ! I didn't realize until now how much it took to keep up the site. I know you were doing what you had to do, and I'm glad we had the sigs as long as we did.

Thanks TJ!!!! :yourock: :bighug:
