Reflecting on all I have to be thankful for today on 9/11/07, I wanted to show my deep appreciation for the users of my websites, but 1st I want to thank all those that protect the United States of America. Without our Military, Law Enforcement, Fireman, and all the others that do so much for our quality of life, this country would not be the great place I enjoy living in. Thanks so much. I sometimes wish I still served in the US Navy. (I was an Electronics Tech in the Navy for 10 years) Please remember all the troops and those that have died protecting this country. Thanks again.
On to the show. I also wanted to thank all of you, the readers, the staff, our advertisers, and even those reading this for less than honorable intentions. Without you guys, Aximsite and Mobilitysite would never be what it is today. Sure, I helped it along, but nothing can replace an audience. If everyone was to walk away today, I would be sad, but I would cherish and always remember what we had here on these site. It's truely been a wild ride and a fun one to boot.
I want to thank each and every staff member here. You have all made my life quite a bit easier. Zaniax made a post last night that reminded me of the 3 hour a night of sleep days. The good ole days. LOL Thanks for all you do. With the changes we are making internally. Some of you are going to be able to shine more and more! (not that you don't already look like All-Stars!)
The Advertisers. Oh boy. Thanks so much. This is all a hobby for me and I could never imagine what it would have been like here if I had to finance the jump from $40/mo in hosting costs to $200 after only a month online. I could have afforded it, but a) my wife wouldn't have been too pleased and b) It jumped to $500 shortly after that. Without the early help from companies like Cases.com and BuyGPSnow.com, these sites may not have made through. Everyone make sure to show your appreciation by checking out what all our advertisers have to offer! Thanks.
The Readers... Man, 200,000 Forum Members. Almost 4000 RSS Subscribers at Mobilitysite and over 5000 for Aximsite, 500 Mobilitysite Minute Downloads. I love it. Thanks everyone. I'll have to start blogging more at Chris.Leckness.com too. I have been so busy at night though. To everyone of you, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I am sorry for not allowing discussion of illegle software in the forums and I hope that you all don't leave because of this, but if you do leave, thanks for the good times!
I don't want to call out too many names, but I hate to leave someone out too... I will just throw out a couple personal thank yous to some folks that deserve a mention. Hal Goldstein, Jason Dunn, Steven Hughes, Don Sorceneli, Jack Cook, John Starkweather, Jerry Leckness, Ted Whitely. Thanks!
I also want to thank my Wife and Kids for all the patience that they have had these past 5 years. I am so thankful.
The Members. Thanks one more time guys!!! Sorry for getting all sappy here, but today is a heartfelt day and I am just letting it flow. Take time to reflect today.
