A sincere THANKS to Ryan and Crew for a great website

[OccupantRJ]

Years ago, my workshop was my social center, with all kinds of people stopping by to visit or have a little project piece made or repaired. Since the flood, losing my shop, and moving, I had lost out on that and a lot of my friends for the last 10 years or so. I wanted to badly find a website where people interested in the same things I was hung out, because as we all know, most people don't understand the shop/garage thing. One day I did an internet search for workshop and also garage, and look what I found! This is undoubtedly the best website for my tastes that exists on the web. I want to thank all who participate, and especially thank all who have a hand in running this site. I deal with a lot of LTL truck drivers as part of my job, and have been surprised to find that quite a lot of those guys are workshop types. They have all been given the website address so they can also join in. I'm even thinking about printing cards to pass out, that's how much I like this place. Only thing is, I'm not getting done as much as I used to.....Time to go make another tool storage rack!

Thank you Ryan , and your team of moderators. This forum has provided more motivation , info , entertainment , perspective and escape from the daily BS than any other medium I know of. Its a great community to be a part of.

Ryan? Ryan who? ......OH! You mean the man behind the curtain

 

[StinkyBunny]

Definitely a BIG thanks to y'all for helping me empty my wallet on here. Damn good thing I have a wife that likes to work on old broken German cars, lol.

 

[keflaman]

My heartfelt, sincere thanks to all who make it happen and all of those who partake. I'm a member of several other forums (motorcycle and car related), but it's here where I consider myself one of the gang.

 

[srmofo]

I think we should turn this thread into another "hot chicks in bikinis" thread, you know ...as a thank you to the guys that put in all the hard work.

Ill start where the last one left off....

Sometimes, having the proper paperwork makes everything better.Here is a copy.

A much deserved and well earned (belated) Thank You for an awesome site.

 

[NJHandyGuy]

I agree thanks and this is one of the greatest sites on the net

 

[Plombob]

I agree - Thank you Ryan and staff! Thank you Mods! This is a great place to spend time and learn.

I wouldn't be here if guys were just bashing each other. Life's to short for that B.S.

 

[rburke65]

I also....Thanks guys....I love this site.

 

[Lkdelta]

GarageJournal.com is one of the first sites I check everytime I log on the internet.
I learn something everytime I am logged on here. There are some very smart people that post on this website and I thank them for spreading their knowledge.

Thanks to all the moderators that keep this the best place to go!!!

My preventative maintenance program on cars, compressors, small engines and anything else with moving parts has been improved tremendously..that is all to the credit of the people here

 

[Lkdelta]

Thank you Ryan for this.

and a couple of other sites you have.

Can we get the addresses of "the others"?

[yevangelis]

Thank you guys! This site is so huge I don't think i'll ever read all the good info before I die.

 

[santagary]

Thanks Ryan, this site has put yearning, dreaming, planning projects and completing some back in my life. I check this site before my emails and my screen saver is Jack's lastest version. Your work and energy are appreciated by all of us!

[Red Leader]

Absolutely agreed. My garage would not be 1/10th of what it is without this site. I don't know if my hands/back want to thank you...

But in all seriousness, THANK YOU!!!

This is my favorite site, I'm on here everyday, and the people on here are the best, so encouraging. Love it.

Thank you.

Thanks again!

[autoclassicnut]

This is a great site and I've enjoyed the hell out of it. With the inspirations on here I have managed to pick up more projects and not get my old ones done...
Thanks and keep up the great work.

 

[wawa1]

thank you for putting a truly useful site for all the loose nuts out there looking for ideas for their shops.

 

[psychobillycadillac]

A special thanks to Ryan and the rest of the crew. Thanks for giving me something to keep me from being productive while at the same time giving me the motivation to be productive......I think that makes sense. Anyways thanks.

 

[Honda guy]

This is where I come to relax. It's almost as therapeutic for me, as going to the flea market. Thanks!!

 

[rwreuter]

Ditto to all that has been said

 

[Bender78]

I guess I'll come on in here to kiss the ring too.

Thanks to everybody that makes this place happen.

 

[GarageEnvy]

Agree with all the kudos above. Ironically, I tend not to be much of a long-term forum guy. I find a forum for the project (boat, kitchen, 4x4, etc) I'm working on, gather whatever information they have and move on when the project is done. I never expected to stay as long as I have. Other sites tend to develop a hierarchy of members or devolve into an online repository for a handful of people to hurl insults at each other and berate others ideas. I'm thankful to the mods, Ryan and members for not letting this site fall into those traps.

And yes, it has cost me thousands of dollars and hours. I'm unrepentent and unremorseful.

 

[wfochris]

Thanks

 

[JC23]

Agreed. I always said I'd never join a MB. And my GF constantly reminds me about it.

But I am sure glad I did!

And it didn't take three eyes to see that!

 

[gatchel]

Put your money where your mouth is. There is over 18,000 active members. If every member decided to donate just $5 that would make a nice $90,000 + thank you.

Thank you from me, also...(is that bad English?)

 

[djm999]

Thanks for all you do although I recently realized that I am addicted

 

[marty_p]

Where else would we all waste several hours a night?? Come to think of it, these forums are life-sucking voodoo!!!!!!!

Nope... Couldn't have said it any better!

THANKS TOO MUCH, GENTS!

 

[51rider]

I used to moderate on a motorcycle forum and know how much time gets taken up.

Guys, thank you so much for what you do.

 

[1/2 Cup]

Reading this thread it has all been said before and i can only echo the sentiments of the last #75 posts, many thanks to all you guys that make it happen on the G.J.

 

[Mr onetwo]

I have gained so much from this forum!This is the first place I go with that first cup of coffee!Thank you very much for your efforts!!!!

 

[MScott]

I must have missed this post on its first go around. I fully confer with everyone above. This has become my favourite site and a must read every time I go on line. Thanks to everyone.

 

[justanengineer]

+1 on the many, many, many thanks!

 

[Old Steamer]

I wasn't here when this thread started and I'm glad it got bumped.

I signed on about 6 weeks ago and since then I've learned a lot, got some neat ideas and found out these guys can fix anything but the crack of dawn and a broken heart!

Thanks for a great and friendly site!
