Firstly, thank you for those that mentioned me. I'm all embarrassed now!
:
There are so many people I would like to thank. So, I'll start with the management team.
dorispulaski: Our leader. You have always done a great job administrating this forum. But these extra projects that you have initiated over the past few months have really added another dimension to the forum. And for that, we can't thank you enough.
Mrs. P: Supermum! I honestly don't know how you find the time to be a moderator, run Predictions Games, find obscure statistics, have a day job AND now look after a baby! Oh, and be a really nice person as well!
Mathman: So much knowledge stretching back so many years. And has such a witty way of writing! Although we haven't talked much, I always enjoy reading his posts.
Newbiespectator: With most of the members of this forum being in America or Europe, it is so nice to have a member who can tell us things from the Japanese perspective. Particularly when they are as enthusiastic and unbiased as Newbie always is!
gsk8: What can I say? Without Paula, there literally would be no Golden Skate!
And now for some selected members.
golden411: Whenever you want to know anything, chances are Golden either knows the answer, or else knows where to find it. And whenever you write something that is not strictly accurate, she is in like a shot to correct you. Believe it or not, I actually enjoy it when she corrects me on things, as it usually means that I am learning new things.
gkelly: Don't think I have talked too much to you over the years. But, recently I have been asking various questions about rules, and through your answers I have learnt so much more than I could have imagined I would when I first wrote the question.
satine94: My right-hand woman when running the Predictions Games last season. I honestly don't know how I could have stayed sane without her. Always ready to give me a shoulder to cry on or a kick up the backside depending on what was required! Such a lovely girl to talk to.
sabinfire: Technical wizzard. He has already (justifiably) received a lot of thanks for all his videos, so I would like to take a different slant. I would like to thank him for being so devoted to the Russian skaters, and for finding out so much about them. And, on a personal note, for being a great friend.
sequinsgalore: Love your PBP's! Very informative for somebody like me who has 0 technical knowledge. Plus, they make it very easy to keep track of where you are when you are watching a competition delayed, and reading the corresponding competition thread at the same time as if you were watching live!
Sam-Skwantch: There are some people whose posts you always look forward to reading. And you are one of them. Such a witty, enthusiastic way of writing. Oh, and I always look forward to seeing the things you find for the "How Cool Is This?" thread!
matmuh: You are one of those members that you can't help but like. You come across as a really nice person, and you have contributed so much to this forum in the short time you have been here. In particular through your Fan Fests, which are so comprehensive. Hey, they even inspired me to add a whole new section (Personal Best tables) to my Fan Fests!
There are lots of other members I would like to compliment (eg.
Sugarpova,
melissa_ire,...), but you are probably getting bored with my gushing by now!
So, instead, may I compliment the entire Golden Skate community for making the forum the success it is today!
CaroLiza_fan
, who is so generous in sharing his(?) [are you a he?] deep knowledge.
Like I don't jump and be a fan until I see for myself.
Her artwork is amazing and I loved her reports with her sister from....was that NHK last year?....anyway....thank you Newbie' for keeping it real and being very positive in your posting.
