Hello everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that makes this place what it is. Many of you realize that I have been very active gaining support and alliances to help Gunco along, but I want to thank all the people who have helped and done even small things for us. I'm just a small part of what goes here and it really boils down to the great members.
First, let me thank all members! Without you Gunco wouldn't be as great, would it?
Second, the donors and 2 early donors come to mind. Lupeloff and Gunny Smith, both of their contributions were larger than what we would ever expect. Because of them we were able to get Picyard up and do a few other things. In no way do I want to reduce the donations of other members and we thank them as well. Lets not forget the guys like mbadboyz and Polish Taipan for getting us our T-shirts. Then Preacher and Cephus for getting the first annual Gunco family reunion setup as I type. Z_recto, Diverdown, and DrugRunR for donating a lot of peices and parts for small gifts for our contests.
Third, the vendors and sponsors. Ohio Rapid Fire, K-var, DPH arms, Lois at Centerfire Systems, CNC Gunsmithing, Weaponeer, Coldsteel , Jnewt, and BlackJack Buffers.
All these vendors have pitched in to make our contests and board better for all.
Fourth, the craftsman here like Hotbarrel for making pistons and too many others to list that make little tools and document building processes.
Fifth, the mods here that help make it a great and respectful.
Sixth, the every day gang that posts here and you know who you are! All the people who post here daily to make it fun! I'd list names, but that would take all day.
Seventh, other boards FFF, AR15.com/AK47.net, Falfiles/AKfiles, and a few other places for helping us out with a few things and mainly just being co-operative and not predatory about our existance on the web.
Lastly, there is a guy who works behind the scenes real hard here and he doesn't even want any recognition. He is Tom the webmaster and he does have another name here as well. He really knows his stuff and has done some great work on many websites and technical details firearm related and others. He is the grease in the bearings here and the reason we exist. He just likes to be left alone to do his work and he does a good job of it.
To all, have a great 2005 and look for good things to come here at Gunco. We are striving to make this more than just a message board and I'm sure you will see things happeneing here over the next year that you might not have seen before.
:thankyou:
