This is part public apology and part thank you. This forum has taken a lot of work to get where it is. If you guys saw what it looked like when yours truly was starting it before bringing Hacker on, you would never have stayed longer than a minute. When we started this thing, there were just a few guys that decided we thought we could make a place where more people would have fun and we could create that place.
With the help of Harry Longshanks and Craig Mac we had the mods set but really not much else because none of us really knew the ins and outs of the tech side of it. At least Craig knew some because Harry and I were lost. Craig knew someone that could help and that person was Hacker; and boy has he helped.
But what some do not realize is that despite this site being a money pit, it is a full time gig for some. Dealing with companies every day, writing all the time, and of course moderation. We decided to hand those duties to others and have Forecaddie to thank for being a late night mod and cleaning up lots of spam. THP is a real corporation with real officers and effort goes into it every day. But few have dealt with the same headaches as Hacker has. Any problems, he is right on it. When JB deletes an entire section (damn him) Hacker was right on it. When any issues arise, he is right on it.
Well, in the past couple of days we have really taken this place to what we see the future will hold and that is to the masses. Being featured on the radio (and asked back by all stations) is a lot of fun. But in some cases, THEY contacted US because of the site we are growing and the things that go on here. That is the great news and we are happy to go on the air anytime.
However on each and every radio spot I have gone on, I have done ONE THING WRONG. I have been asked about the ownership of this site and I have always said "GG and I". That is just not the entire case. The elusive Hacker owns part of this company and we are proud to be partnered with him. He works tirelessly to make things run smooth and add features that just about no other forums have added so quickly. He is 100% selfless and has never asked for anything in return. However the one time I had a chance to give him his due, I left it out.
So for that I say I AM SORRY! To Forecaddie, Hacker, Craig Mac, and all of our staff writers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you guys none of this would be here. You all make THP the place it is!
Thank You!
