Elad Appreciation Thread

Elad has done an absolutely exceptional job with the board software. I really like it and find it easy to use, easy to read, and quite customizable. I don't know if Skinner and EarlG also do some technical stuff, but for sure, Elad has done extremely good work. It's absolutely the best board software I've ever seen, bar none.

Thank you Elad. Many good wishes to you in your career at DU and beyond.

It's one of the reasons I stick around this place. Very easy to use, and easy on the eyes.
Some boards are just awful and confusing.

Just kidding. The admins did a great job putting this place together. They should get rid of the juries, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the software.

First of all for the people (of course) but the code is the building we're all meeting in and it's some amazing architecture -- a great comfortable marketplace of ideas with big noisy halls, smaller conference rooms, and many quieter places to simply talk, big ideas, small ideas, and silliness too.

I love it.

And, Skinner!

And, EarlG!

They have built an incredible site. They make money off that creation. They made it what it is.

If - IF - I was owner of this place, members ask me questions, I answered their questions with facts, and said members didn't believe me or talked about me like a dog; I'd be tempted to shut the whole thing down!

Good thing I'm not them.

The way it functions and looks and how the replies are arranged in such a way that is very easy to follow the conversation, I love it. No other site has ever come close to me.
