Title: Gotta stop a minute, and thank Rob DiStefano...
Post by: Terry Green on June 03, 2008, 02:13:00 PM
Guys and Gals....I gotta stop and publicly thank Rob DiStefano for all his hard work over Memorial Day Weekend....and also our hosting company.

While I was away chasing hogs, Rob was busy as a beaver....here's the scoop most of ya'll don't know.

Trad Gang.com acquired Trad Gang.NET...Dot NET was set up on its own server and an entire copy of Trad Gang was moved over to the dot NET.  Then everything was deleted except for the St Jude's Auction.

No, Rob didn't ask, didn't pass go, or collect $200...he just did it.  

THIS is the reason the auction is running smoothly with ZERO wavering in the final minutes.

Many thanks Rob!!!!

Rob, I appreciate everything you do for TradGang.  It's a wonderful site and your contributions make it better for all of us.

In addition to being a computer whiz you are a great archer and you kinda remind me of Charlton Heston back when he played Ben Hur.  Pretty soon Dos Equis beer will be wanting you to be their "most interesting man in the world".  Just remember us archers when you get the call.

In all sincerity, thanks!  ....John

Aw geez, t'weren't no big deal - I'll do anything to make our Trad Gang home comfy for all you GREAT members.

Much obliged to all for your very kind words.

And folks, a HUGE kudos out to Terry Green for his zealous hard working dedication in keeping the focus of Trad Gang where it's been from day one - 101% traditional bowhunting.

Doug Campbell's name needs mentioning, too - he's the kingpin of all the St Jude's effort and why we look forward to this worthwhile and necessary event each year.  Thanx Doug, for all the goodness you do for the kids and Trad Gang.

And while I'm at it, there wouldn't be a Trad Gang as we know it without our Moderators, who peform a necessary, Very Difficult, daily job of keeping this good ship on our charted course.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, there would never be a Trad Gang cyber campfire without YOU GOOD FOLKS, the Members and Sponsors ... I deeply thank you one and all for allowing us - Terry, myself and the Mods - to host the best and biggest traditional bowhunting/archery forum on planet Earth.

      :notworthy:           :notworthy:          :notworthy:          :notworthy:          :notworthy:          :notworthy:    

PS - Within the months to come, Trad Gang will be converted over to new forum software in a TEST environment.  If all goes as planned, the new software will be instituted by the end of this year.  There will be some visible changes and some very subtle, but powerful changes.  We'll keep ya all on board as how we're doin' and what to expect well before we go "live".

Not only is Rob the glue that holds this place together, he's also a great roommate on a hunt because he doesn't snore....or least can't be heard over me.  Thanks Rob.  (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/87.gif)
