Over the last few days with WB down it made me stop and think of all the work AT Troll and others give to this site and some of the BS they deal with. I just wanted to give them all a huge THANK YOU for doing it and keep the site together. :clap

Nicely put, Wolf.

Thanks to ALL the Whiteblaze volunteers!

[berninbush]

Amen.

It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it. Or else the place gets shut down. ;)

[Odd Thomas]

Word. great site!

[The Weasel]

That is a good thing to say, and a good time to say it.

Some of us who work with computers (and perhaps programmers in my case) are greatly appreciative of all of the work it takes to not only keep a site up-and-running, but to also evolve it over time. Of course, I'm not sure that ATtroll's significant other is all that appreciative of the time he spends! Certainly mine gets frustrated with the limited time I spend just trying to keep up with the various posts.

NICE JOB ATROLL for all the times my computer crashed an you had to send me a new password .. I have to be the 1 to TANK YOU the most..

[SouthMark]

Some of us who mostly just lurk because we were afraid of being ridiculed for our suggestions, opinions or ideas THANK YOU! This site is the best to keep up with new ideas, new gear, locations, trail conditions and to meet other hikers. Again THANK YOU to all that keep WB going.

[Rain Man]

Right you are, Wolf 23000. Let's hope they hear a lot more of this in the future and less of the "BS" that ruins it for everyone.

:bananaFinally, a post I can respond to! :)
Thank you thank you thank you for all you all do the make this a great website! I tend to be more of a "lurker", but I enjoy reading and being an "armchair" hiker when I can't get out and do it for real! :)
Keep up the great work!

Hoorah, Hoorah, to Troll, Rock, Skids, SD, FD, Dixie, and all those unnamed behind the scenes folks who are going to turn this thing around and have it emerge an even better site than it was already!! Thanks!!!

[Pokey2006]

They could close this site to all new posts for all time, and it would still by a place I would visit almost daily, just for the wealth of information contained here. Photos of shelters, tips on best routes to take, warnings about difficult trail conditions -- it's all here.

I'm not shy of posting on here when I feel the need, but I will say I spend far more of my time on Whiteblaze lurking and searching for specific info than I do debating the issues. It's a fantastic resource, an amazing collection of experience and knowledge, and I hope that if the owners/mods do decide they've had enough that they will at least find a way to keep some of this great info online in some form or another.

[Ghosthiker]

I'll add my thanks here, too.

[warren doyle]

I look forward to a 'kinder/gentler' WhiteBlaze.

I got your back doors on this one................:sun

[Homer&Marje]

I'm changing my view on life. I love everyone. well maybe not everyone. but i can get over that with a little

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME :banana :banana

[envirodiver]

Thanks are certainly in order, this is the best hiking site going and the amount of and quality of info is great. Only place I know of that you can post asking about trail or water conditions and have several responses within an hour.

BTW HomerandMarie, Red Green is da man...king of duct tape. LMAO

Thanks a million to all the "behind the scenes" folks :D

three cheers and more...

To WB: I am grateful that your new policy seems to be working. Keep up the good work!

To WB: I am grateful that your new policy seems to be working. Keep up the good work!

yes, it's a kinder, gentler whiteblaze.

I hear something happened while I was cycling the GAP. Makes me wonder - if there were no moderation, what would that lead to? This is not a complaint, just sincere curiosity. At any rate I'm sure it's a tough job, because people are a$$holes, that's why I hate people:sun

[GlazeDog]

WB--- I'd like to send out a Katahdin-sized thanks to those that keep this site well running. I really learn from many of the hikers here--info that would be hard to come by so quickly (if at all) anywhere else. WB also makes me feel connected to the AT even when I'm busy with work and life here in Ohio.

Gratefully yours--

That's easy - One only has to check out the free for almost all the other Hiking Blogs when WB was down. It was quite a mess, I even saw people pretending to be well known people here. I was clearly shocked, then when I went back three days later, most had been cleaned up or deleted.

[Cookerhiker]

I'll add my thanks to ATTroll, Rock,Dixie, Skidster, and all the WB team for a thankless job well-done with patience, grace, and class.

[Frau]

My thanks to all involved in starting and now maintaining this site. It has certainly been both helpful and entertaining for me.

:sun Frau

[dixicritter]

I want to add my thanks to everyone who has taken on the moderation and admin duties. I know exactly what the jobs you ladies and gentlemen are doing and just how difficult they are. My PM box is always open to y'all!

I also need to take this moment to say that unfortunately due to the fact that I am now working... I had to step down from my admin position because I just didn't have the time to devote to my duties here at WB anymore. I miss y'all, but I have to do what's best for me and my family right now.

[boarstone]

Now that we'all are glad for the change here on WB, myself included, I'm sending in my support payment...if we are so "thank-ful" let's try to really say thanks and support with any amount we can...:banana
