Been a while since I said it
Thanks to all of you for helping make HD what it is over all these years.
I really appreciate it.

It's us, the majority that comes here to hang and learn, that should thank you and your team for making this site what it is

Re: Been a while since I said it
For a good portion of us,
we get to log on and discuss that which shouldn't be mentioned.
Cohorts in intrigue.
A community that steals away in 1s and 0s on the internet.
I'm just along for the ride, and I'm having a hell of a time.

Ditto. Hats off to you, Uncle Jesse. 13 years is a helluva run.

Thank you UJ. You've put a ton of work into the forum and now the wiki. I wouldn't be making the awesome stuff I am if it weren't for you and this site.

Been longer than that! At least 2001. Here's an old snapshot of the forums when we ran ubbthreads. Converted to PHPBB in 2004. Which sucked because we lost some data.

Re: Been a while since I said it
Uncle Jesse....an Enigma in the industry that it is becoming.
A big "salute" for the creation and management of our site which is maturing at breakneck speed. Often imitated...never duplicated, HD is the first and foremost authority for the contemporary hobbiest...regardless of his heritage.
And the site has set standards which will continue to promote excellence and safety in a vunerable environment subject to the scrutiny of many peers. Indeed, the "whole" is much greater than the "sum of its parts".
Thanks UJ for your diligence and dedication to our (proliferating) hobby.

Re: Been a while since I said it
Thanks for the kind words folks, but I meant what I said - the users have made HD the valuable resource it is. I'm proud and happy to host such a great resource, but there's no way I could have done it alone.
Thanks again

A good leader associates himself with good followers who in turn make the leader more productive. Good job Jesse and "thank you" from us.

Re: Been a while since I said it
So the forum has been going nearly 10 years longer than I have been doing it !
I guess what I'm thinking is that without the forum, I would not know nearly what I know now - kinda humbling - Thanks guys.

Re: Been a while since I said it
No, thank you for providing this platform in the first place. I've learned a bundle here, mostly by just reading and lurking. The only social networking I do anymore is the type that expands the knowledge of all participants and this forum ranks high up on my list of places to sit and read while I drink my night cap. Thank you!

....and the only name I recognize on the old forum is uncleJesse!
Thanks

Re: Been a while since I said it
Thank you Uncle Jesse!!!
For almost 20 years I thought corn, sugar, yeast and water was the whole shebang, boy was I ever wrong.
(not that there's anything wrong with it)
This forum has taught me how to make a fine spirit, not to use unsafe materials, make cuts, blending, aging, mashing, fermentation, the list goes on and on.
Long story short, without this forum I'd still be a mediocre stiller with unsafe practices.
Thanks, Shine0n

Thank you UJ for the platform and input, and thank you to all who share their knowledge here. My only regret on this site is I don't have much to give in return.
