Software updates and further announcements. - Keeping and getting everyone in the loop

[Maynard]

Very well said guys. All of you had good comments.

As much as many of you think I don't like you, and don't care what you do or say, that isn't true. Everyone that comes to me, gets helped as quickly as possible. I haven't been short with anyone. I actually have massive amounts of patience for silly shit. I have to in my field, computer technical support. I deal with fucking retards every day who forgot to plug in their computer, or spilled a glass of water in it. And they wonder why shit doesn't work. The amount of incompetence that I get to deal with every day is astounding. So coming here and helping people is a blessing, because for the most part, all of you are intelligent, and can understand when someone is trying to help you and explain things to you.

For those of you that don't like me. Sorry. You will meet MANY MANY people in your life. You can't like them all. One thing that I can say, and I think that you can all say, is that I don't use my power to get over on people. If so, please IM or PM me and let me know what you really think. As much as people say that I'm a power monger, I think I'm the furthest thing from it. I've stated a million times in that past that that is one thing that bothered me about oa.com. I didn't like the way that some of the mods acted, and were looked at by the members. So I've tried to be the opposite of that. I hope I've succeeded. Again, if you don't think so, please contact me because I don't want this to turn into a bitch session about me. I really hope that I have been a part in making this site what it is now, and I hope to continue to take it to higher levels. This site is nothing without the members. And I am a member as well as a moderator.

I truly think the people here are amazing, and I laugh my ass off every day I come here. This community we've built really is a big part of my life, as I know it is for some of you too. Some of my best friends have been made through this site, and countless other friends as well. Just about every day on here, I talk to someone that I haven't really talked to before and build a relationship with them. You guys are really pretty amazing (except Keyser), and I thank you for that.

Something that this site has tried to do from the start, and now prides itself on, is that fact that what YOU say, counts. We hold votes for things, we ask you opinions, and we let you in on what's going on. Does Sean have to do all of this? hell no. But he want's to, because it's OUR site, not just Seans. And he knows that.

:cue patriotic music:
Once again, thank you Sean for coming up with this vision of a better message board, and thank all of you for making this site kick ass.
