I’d just like to extend a “thank you” to everybody who worked to get the message board up:
We love you. You kick ass. Angels should flit about your heads and shower rose petals where you will step. May your servers always stay up and your lovers always go do…uh, you know what I’m saying. 
Anyway, thanks!
Ditto what Gaudere said.
Just curious…did you keep a count of the emails you received asking about the board?
Ditto!
And a third from UncleBeer. You guys are great.
Here’s mud in yer eye!
Yer pal, UncleBeer.
I’ll give more than a thank you.
Wet, warm kisses to the tech team!
You guys rock. Thank you!

Kudos, kudos, and more kudos.
(I was going through serious withdrawal there and was actually forced to do some real work)
I’m very glad the board is back. Thank you thank you thank you.
I didn’t realize how much I counted on this board to get me through the day until it was gone for a week. Thanks from the low-post lurkers’ peanut gallery. Crackers and phreaks, grow up.

Well, blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo, as far as I can tell.
And a big thank you, thank you, thank you from this corner as well.

Thanks guys you are the greatest, although my boss wouldn’t think so.
I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.
Hear hear, aye aye, ditto ditto.
You guys kick ace. Thanks thanks and more thanks.
Big time.

New keyboard, new mouse, and the Dope is back! All hail the computer gods!
Ditto to all the above - thank you, tech people, for putting our beloved board back up!
More dittos. It couldn’t have been fun, but we’re all very grateful.
Thank you to the techs, and the mods, and the administrators, and Melin, and Ed, and Mike. And thanks to all the SD chat regs who kept me from going insane this past week.
Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99.

Repeating the above: Bravo! Bravo!
And echoing Kat, thanks to the mods, admins, Melin, Ed, and Mike as well.
And just a quick addition:
Thanks to the kind folks of the Chicago Reader for putting up with all our shit and not saying “The hell with it” when the problems hit. If I lived anywhere near Chicago, I’d certainly be a subscriber.
When someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles to frown. But it takes only 4 muscles to extend your arm and whack them in the head.

They arrive at the same time Cecil changes his weekly question. Very literate. Good criticisms.
Wonderful job, guys! Rose and I were actually searching for other UBB message boards to post to (oh, the shame of it!). This is THE board, as far as I’m concerned. Great job!
