While scanning the “active topics” page, I’ve noticed there are a few usernames that particularly draw my attention. After reading the recent tributes to Ecohawk, I thought I would like to offer a tribute to these people while they are still around to receive it. These are some of the people whose posts I find consistently rewarding and engaging …
- Ben Hall (benhall.1)
- Dale Wisely (Dale)
- Doug Tipple (Doug_Tipple)
- Feadoggie
- Geoff Woof
- Hans Bracker (hans)
- Jem Hammond (jemtheflute)
- Jerry Freeman
- Lorenzo
- Mr.Gumby, especially where photographs are involved
- MTGuru
- Nanohedron
- Richard Cook (pancelticpiper)
- stanton135, who got on this list with a surprisingly small number of posts
Thank you all for your valuable contributions to this forum. I wish you many more years of happy posting.
I could easily add more names to this list, but I’ll leave that to others. Please feel free to offer your own additions to it.
Thanks, Tunborough. Our users make the board, and it’s always nice to give recognition where due.
In a time when half-coherent 140 character blurts are the new normal, the Chiffboard still encourages thoughtful, well-written posts and long format (or at least medium format) writing. We’re the anti-social medium. Wait, that doesn’t sound quite right … 
Yes, and it’s nice to have a place so free of the usual internet pedantry. … by the way, I think you’ll find that that sentence should start "At a time … "
Seriously, though, Tunborough, that’s a lovely thing to do. We should thank people more often who help us as we go through life. It’s a great place this, but only because our members are a great bunch, always thoughtful, mostly gentle, and definitely sincere.
Thanks folks! 
I…I don’t know what to say. Following after Ben and MTGuru, mere thanks seems so trite.
So instead here’s an unexplainable photo for you:
