Thank you to all volunteers!

[Northerner]

This week is volunteers week and I would like to take the opportunity to thank, in particular, all the volunteers who have helped to make this forum the safe, friendly,fun and supportive place it has become 🙂 During my time as Admin I could not have managed without the wonderful people who volunteered a great deal of their time to provide support to the many members, spot problems, diffuse 'situations' and deal with the spammers 🙂 It's not something you can do alone, you need the wise and varied perspectives of others, and I was certainly blessed with the best 🙂 Some have moved on, but some are still with us - not least our new Admin @everydayupsanddowns, who is doing a splendid job, as he always has over nearly a decade now 🙂 Thank you Mike 🙂

I'd also like to pay tribute to those long-term volunteers who are sadly no longer with us, @AlisonM and @Copepod, who were taken far too soon

Finally, to everyone who responds to any of the questions, pleas for help and support, or submits questions of their own that stimulate discussion and help make this such a vibrant, welcoming place - you may not consider yourselves volunteers, but without your input it would be a pretty quiet place! 🙂

Thank you, one and all! 🙂

Awwh @Northerner thankyou for that🙂 I think we all appreciate the effort of members who contribute to the forum.

Most of all speaking for myself I appreciate the effort you have inputted over the years as Admin, thankyou Alan.

@everydayupsanddowns has taken over as a Staff Member/Admin and doing a wonderful job, also thankyou Mike.

I agree wholeheartedly - how could I not?

OTOH despite volunteering to do this that or the other all my life, I have only ever offered to do stuff that interested me in some way and sometimes - sorry! - when I've just got frustrated with the poor job someone else is making of it. There again i guess when I've had enough of doing that job if I make a mess of it perhaps someone else will volunteer!

If it wasn't for this place I'd still be plodding on in absolute ignorance so its a big thanks to all the staff that keep here going.
A big thanks to all the members too as without them this would not happen either.
