Ryan S doesn't get his due around here.

[Ben E Lou]

Ryan doesn't get enough credit for making this place what it is today. Those that have been around a while know this story, but it is worth repeating.

Around 4 years ago, Blackadar made the decision to add new moderators. Ryan and myself were chosen. Just a couple of months or so later, he decided that he wanted to completely give over control of hte board to someone. He chose me. Ryan could have easily left at that point. He doesn't post that much, but he has FARRRR more technical knowledge than me. He could have easily taken it as a slap in the face. He didn't.

Instead, Ryan has worked quietly, usually behind the scenes, for four-ish years, to help improve a community that he doesn't really participate in all that much. When I took control, we were using a very unstable version of UBB. I decided that we should purchase vbulletin, but didn't have a clue how or where to install it. Ryan did. He took care of it. We've upgraded vbulletin several times since then. Ryan has done it. We've had to communicate with Gamespy regarding technical issues. Ryan has done it. We've had database errors from time to time. Ryan has fixed them. Pretty much any technical issue that has come up, Ryan has coordinated with others, done the research if necessary, and gotten the problem dealt with, all to improve your FOFC experience.

I just think he deserves a big, public, THANK YOU, RYAN!!!

Agreed. Thank you, Ryan. :)

[Raiders Army]

Although I've already said thanks, I'd like to add another thanks due to the fact that you didn't make a big deal out of upgrading the board.

I remember back in the Sideline days when Blacky said that he would have a big announcement and we all thought it was a new FOF. It was a big disappointment when it was about the board moving (although that was momentous as well). Thanks for not getting our hopes up!

[flere-imsaho]

Thanks Ryan!

[vtbub]

TY Guy!

[Glengoyne]

In the X-Men movies, none of the X-Men super-powers are done with special effects. Ryan S is the stuntman for every character.
