Good Morning,
Here's wishing everyone a great holiday season!
There are many ways that people can contribute to a forum community. Some of us are good with words, others work well with images, some of us are wizards with technology, or something else entirely. What makes a community like this successful is having a variety of people, each with their own skills, generously contributing to everyone else. I continue to be amazed by the diverse skills of our members!
Looking back on this year, it's fair to say that we've had our share of challenges. But now that the storms have moved out, we continue to prove that it is possible to have a strong, community-driven forum, whose character and health comes from the people who make it.
It still amazes me that this "little experiment" I began on a whim a couple of years ago has blossomed so nicely. It takes a lot to keep a forum like this going, but as long as people continue to make it work, all the effort (and occasional frustration) is worth it.
So...thank you to all the those who have shared their woodworking knowledge, their experiences, and their opinions. Thank you to all the long-time members who have been welcoming to new members, and thank you to all the new members for joining and taking part in our community.
Looking forward to a new year!
Stay in touch,
Matthew
