I would like to thank you the Infopop team for developing such a great product. Namely classic then helping me transition to Threads, where I have been for the last few years. It has been good, there were a few times where I had to transition to different hosts and tech support did help.
And then there were times that I wanted to do this or that. And I have had the aid of many on this site. Thanks Infopop for introducing me to these fine peoples - users hackers and genuinely interested folks. Who do care.
You see, in the last 4 years, I have made 465 posts here and many have gone unanswered or ignored. Some were pie in the sky request for features. Many were pleas for help cause I did something stupid w/ my install. I learn best by seeing an example and when someone voluntarily takes the due diligence to remember that the person you are talking to may not be at the same skill level as you, and adequately explain something, that rates very high in my book.
When the news of thread's demise hit my inbox it gave me moment pause to think of what it truly meant to me from an investment of time energies and finances, not to mention emotional investment. Then I realized what was the key to my success was the professional people who aided me when I needed it the most. (Thanks Josh)
Just about the same time I noticed a shift in the dynamics of this site. It got political to some degree. I for my part only care how it affects me, my site and users. Makes for good water cooler conversations.
It hit me like an 'atomic' reaction - I knew for certain that my continued success would be to make alliances with people who excel in their craft and to truly care and genuinely enjoy working with others and not only request feedback but READ it as well and openly discuss the potential of my little request, that in turn makes me feel great and appreciated and not just member number 9663.
I have been beta testing FusionBB for several months now and in that time have >515 posts and my personal feeling is that I am confident in my switch as I know that it will mean my continued success in my online ad-ventures.
So thanks again Infopop for ending threads.
