A personal thanks to the owner and moderators

Alex and the Moderators.

I just wanted to say thanks for providing and maintaining LBT and giving so many people the chance to get support (and vent).

Running a forum is often a thankless task, and I felt it important enough to rectify that.

Many people have been saying thanks on various threads, but being the busy folks you are - I saw no harm in making a thread.

Keep fighting the good fight.

I have to make this comment.

I have been to some of the "other WLS forums" and well, this to me is the best run of all of them.

It is well laid out, has great upkeep and has a wealth of RELIABLE information and great people.

Thank you for a well thought out board!

HUGS TO ALL!!

I TOTALLY agree with Dawg......

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!

[FunnyDuddies 6]

I agree with wavydaby. I have been on many boards, and many weight loss boards, and this is the best run so far. And I am a perfectionist. LOL I one of those that if I can't find a board I like on one particular topic, I make my own. And seeing as how I have not created a wls board, that means something.

Penni, Alexandra, Alex...after dealing with you guys personally over the last couple of weeks, I have to thank you for sticking through it all and come to solutions that have been working for everyone. I know its tough, I am in your shoes every day on other boards.

Good thread dawg. thank you.

Thanks guys, there have been days when most of us just wanted to lay low for awhile. I admire that you guys were not only in on the fight, but did your best to rope and tie them all, rodeo style.

I figure with all the time you have spent on this board it has become a second job; that you are not paid is a testament to your dedication. Thank You.

[Alexandra 55]

Awww, thanks, y'all. :biggrin1:

And I agree that this is the best messageboard site I've ever seen--and I am NOT taking any credit for that. From the very first minute I saw it I felt that way. For me, the lack of advertising makes it a uniquely welcoming place and one I want to preserve in any way I can. So by being a moderator, I'm just acting out of Enlightened self-interest.

Alex B. has given and continues to give the banding community an incredibly valuable gift. :clap2: :clap2: :kiss2: :kiss2:

Not being banded - I have appreciated how accepted I have been here -- that, I'm sure, is due in part to the great moderators!!! Keep up the good job and thanks for making an insane 'family' of friends bearable on the most difficult days!

[K@t 38]

I'll give my thanks again to every one, this job isn't easy and is often thankless, and at times very difficult. I have been to other banding forums and weight loss sites, but this is the only one I keep coming back to and I'm proud to call it my online home. Keep up the great work guys!

Thanks to you all! This is a well-laid-out message board. Easy to read and well maintained.

Thanks guys! Shawn

Ditto - and I think even those who did have concerns or complaints over certain things can still see that this is a voluntary task and appreciate you putting your time into it.

Thanks to everyone, for always being here to give advise and support.

I don't visit often, as I work full time, and take care of my ailing mother, BUT......this is the first place I run to when I have a problem with the band or in need of advice.

Thanks for caring, and for sharing.

Hugggggssssss to everyone.
