Everyone should raise a toast to Blue Runner for taking on this responsibility. This site deserves to continue and, because of him, it will.

Now, back to work! :)

I remember all too well when the yabb forum went down on Christmas in 2005 and I was ready to close the site down then . . . MJ and Valiant took over Jan 2006 (if I remember correctly) Valiant migrated the data over to Vbulletin and better hosting . . . and MJ put the hammer down moderating everything. Thanks to Bluerunner and Valiant for keeping it going and hats off to MJ and Valiant for keeping the site alive the last 11 years (through good times and bad times)


When the v20 site was just an idea:

George!! - Where did the time go? You, CB, MJ, GW204, Labii were all on it from the beginning.

Damn . . . reminds me I still have all Labii's wellcraft catalogs that I scanned and need to mail back to him.

BlueRunner and Valiant - I'm not sure what value I can add to the equation, but if you need any help with the site . . . I am happy to pitch in.

Thanks for that trip down memory lane BS. Or should we call you Grandpa?

Not to steal his thunder, but I could not resist - Valiant has reported great progress with the site on the new host. This is some great news and we all owe him some gratitude. Still not cut over but thinking it will happen very soon.

- Management (<--ROLMFAO!!!)

Was just reading that thread on THT. The one guy on there that said these boats pound was full of it.
