    Thanks to the Forum

    You guys are funny. I guess there are a lot of new members that don't know me though.

    Me? I'm the details guy. I simply do everything 'admin related' behind the scenes that has to be done....from answering email questions about registration issues...to updating our spam filters.... to playing the bad cop role in good cop/bad cop moderation techniques...to answering the 'tech' questions that the other mods can't... and whatever else comes up. It's a lot, to be sure. I take a lot of grief for the bad cop stuff, but it's honestly necessary. Only the other mods can factually vouch for it, but I stand ready to defend HF's moderation integrity to date.

    I don't contribute to the site in the same way that folks like JustJeff, Grizz, WV, and many many others do and have. Their contributions are legion, and make the site what it is. But I still feel my role is important to keeping things running day to day, along with the other mods.

    It's thankless and without pay. But I soaked up a lot of info from HF, and have made some stellar friends here. You know who you are my friends! I'm just giving back.

    Thanks to everybody that freely shares their ideas, enthusiasm, and advice! Double thanks to those that do it without expectations.

    -Sam

    If he had a nest it would be made of cat fur.

    I think I'm inclined to agree with Sam for once.

    Without the members, there would be no community for moderators to police. There would be no forum to serve as a bastion of knowledge for those interested in rising from the soggy depths of the Earth to sleep suspended between two uprights.

    Those who stand as educational pillars of this community see plenty of (deserved) recognition...but it's you - the members of Hammock Forums itself - who make Hammock Forums what it is. You feed the community with your lust for knowledge, your zeal for proselytization of the hammock faith, and your desire to generously give back that which you've taken from this place that make it what it is...and THAT above ALL else is why I'm glad to be a part of this website.


    (Edit: It's very fitting that this grand post praising that which truly makes this great land of HammockForumsistan is also my landmark 1500th post. Do wonders never cease?)
    I used to be a somebody, now I just camp.
