I started the Plotit message board in 1995 or 1996 (can't remember which). I moved my Plotit board to BWI's site in 2001.
I never imagined how many people would find the board, would post on the board, and would become regulars on the board. The growth was more than I ever imagined.
I've had a number of monitors assist me over the years. I thank all of them for their assistance. Collectively, they made this a great place where members of the PSU community could engage with kindred spirits.
I do apologize that I wasn't able to do more in terms of celebrating the past 20 years on this site over the last few weeks. In part, it was due to my schedule getting really busy. Oh well, each of us is left to remember the good times in our own unique way. I did enjoy many of the memories, special stories, etc. that some of you posted in recent weeks.
While running a board this size is often a lot of work (which did frustrate my family at times), I enjoyed interacting with most of you on a daily basis. I take some pride in the standards I set for the board, and in the example that I tried to set in my posts. That said, it is the board community as a whole that deserves the bulk of the credit. You guys (and gals) made the board what it became.
As I've indicated, and most have figured out, BWI is moving to another platform. I'm moving with them. That's about all I can, and will, say about that. A quick search should enable you to fill in the rest of the details.
I've never put down another PSU site, or the folks that run such sites. Rivals does have someone else set to run their PSU site, and I wish him and his team the best. I think I have a good relationship with him. I won't be posting on this site in the immediate future, and perhaps I never will again. However, he's indicated that he's open to it, so we'll see how things evolve.
After nearly 57,000 posts, and over 40,000 likes, and a board with 1750 pages (and that only includes posts since the board software was switched by Rivals), it's time to bid adieu to what has been a big part of my life.
I wish each of you the best in your respective lives. Hopefully, either on another PSU forum, or in person, we'll interact in the future.
Thanks again to all of you; it's been a blast.
