Macrumors appreciation thread Spring 2005

[840quadra]

I wanted to start this thread to thank the Admin staff for putting up with all of the Traffic, stress, and few new members that seem to do little but complain about the site. I know that the site appears to be busier then ever (in my short time here), and the site itself becomes bogged down at times.

I am sure I am not the only one on here that would be more then happy to help in any way possible to keep the site going strong if the need is there. And I just wanted to say thanks for the hard work, and for putting up with those of us that are more of a PITA then anything else :) . I am waiting on the line for the opportunity to donate to the cause, whenever the time comes, and the need is there I have my Paypal waiting :)

Thanks gang!

couldn't have put it better myself Quadra.....

:::claps and cheers::: for the MR staff!!!

[Chip NoVaMac]

A double Amen on that 840!


I have said it before. MR is like a family. We may never agree on everything, but when times get tough personally - they are there for you. that is what makes MR so special. They don't over moderate.

The mods here realize that some of us have a life besides the Mac computer. It is the human element that is fostered here, i that I plead for the return of contributions.

[Dalriada]

[Platform]

Best forum on the net ;)

Keep it up.. :p

[Balin64]

Seriously. Great community and glad to be a part of it. Many thanks to the administrator!

[wrldwzrd89]

Thanks go to the administrators for keeping the site functional despite the high traffic and "the forum server is too busy at the moment" messages. Although the rumors are the focus of this community, it's the contributions of all the members here that makes this place so great.

[zelmo]

What? You mean all internet forums aren't like MacRumors? :rolleyes:

Seriously, this was the first forum group I ever joined. I have had such a wonderful experience here that I tried out a few others, thinking there would be simliar experiences to be had. There really is no place like home. MR is a great forum with cool mods and a ton of nice folks who are there to help you and support you whether your problem is Mac related or not.

Arn, any update on the contributions front?

[rosalindavenue]

This is by far the best forum anywhere. There is a tone of civility that you cant find anywhere else. I'll contribute $$ the first time the administrators ask.

This forum is one of the reasons I switched. So thanks a bunch...

[yellow]

Tumbs oop!

[buryyourbrideau]

this forum helped me switch and ALWAYS keeps me busy when i am home and have nothing to do. i have found myself surfing MR and no longer playing xbox or watching tv. I applaud everyone that posts on here regularly and i downgrade the fools that complain about traffic and what not. there is high traffic bc people like this forum. i am willing to donate to this site whenever i can. thanks mods for giving me a new hobby! :)

[quackattack]

Let me get on board! Thanks for everything. This is a great place to be! :D

[Freg3000]

Arn, any update on the contributions front?

Yes, please take my money. No, seriously. ;)

[840quadra]

There you have it!

Only 16 of of the Thousands of Macrumors fans really appreciate the site :eek: :D .

Any way you look at it, I am glad so many jumped on here to thank the Admin / Moderator gang! I just wished they would open the doors and let us donate, One of those Macrumors T-shirts or Mugs is calling my name. I really want one for the next big apple store release!! :D :eek:

[mad jew]

17! Sorry, I'm late to the party again. :D

[Daveway]

Macrumors is the best forum around (except for busy servers ;) ) Now lets bring back donating to make it even better.

A'round of applause for MacRumors.

[ham_man]

Good job guys. YOu make our lives worth living...;)

[wdlove]

We do owe a lot to arn, he is working hard on getting a new server. That should help to eliminate the "Server busy messages."

The mods here are super. Although a real important ingredient to the success of this site is us the contributors and posters.

[Steven1621]

POWERBOOK G5 NEXT TUESDAY!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :p




Anyway, Macrumors is a big reason why I switched and never fails to help me waste time. It also has one of the most interesting and intellgient web communities I have encountered.

[~Shard~]

I have to add my sincere thanks and appreciation to the MacRumors staff as well. This is by far the best Forum I have visited, and the members are second to none. From the extremely knowledgeable, to the extremely helpful (often one in the same!), to the simply "interesting" and unique personalities (some people would probably put me in that category... ;)), the community here is second to none in my opinion, and I'm happy to be a member. I'll be keeping an eye on when contributions are back up, and when I'll be able to order me one of those MacRumors mugs - or other MR merchandise that may be available as well! :cool:

[Doctor Q]

:D Don't forget that you can find hundreds of MacRumors mugs here. :D

Well done Doctor Q, well done... clever bastard... :) :cool:

[leekohler]

Hey now! I love this place too. Thanks a lot for being here. :)

[mcadam]

Woohooo - I'm very happy too. Without MR my mac would be a mess and me too... you are responsible for my rising status as a mac-nerd...

so, very thank you - mods and memebers alike :)

This is one of two internet forums I've ever visited for an extended period of time-- And I co-ran the other one. So, you're surely doing something right :) Or verily? You're verily doing something right. Um. I should go back to work.

Thanks for giving me a place to hide from my job :D

[ReanimationLP]

This place is awesome.

Keep up the good work mods! In my time here, I've had a lot of fun. I've found people with similar interests, people to talk about the newest stuff coming out of Apple, people who when I have a question do their best to help. You guys saved my G4. :)

For sure, I've learned so much from browsing these forums.

Like the Dashboard thing most recently.

Also, it's so great when you know the answer to a question and no one else has posted a solution for someone.

[Flying Llama]

Hoorah!! I may not be noticed here much, but I really read these threads, a lot (several hours a day). I was in another forum for not too long, and one day was looking for help for my mac (on google). I found this, and was amazed at how nice everyone was and how some people cared. I immediately ditched the other forum for this one, and I absolutely love it.
I don't know, there's something about macrumors that makes people nice (unlike other threads), maybe it's sublinimal messages in the macrumors logo or something, but Arn and the mods definately have my appreciation (even the mini mods ;) )

Again: Hoorah!!

[question fear]

everyone else has said it all quite eloquently, so my contribution is: ditto.

go macrumors go!

[MacRy]

Personally I hate you all because you have stolen my life from me. I used to be a normal person until I got the Macrumors bug and now I can't get enough of the damn place. You're all too nice! STOP IT!!!!

Nah, you're all right. I don't even mind the fact that you misspell Rumour......tee hee hee. ;)

We don't, MacRy. It's one of those language differences between the US and UK...that's all.

I've been bitten by the MacRumors bug too.

[trainguy77]

macrumors rocks!

[MacRy]

Yeah I know that I was just being facetious.....just adding a bit of COLOUR to this thread really. Don't worry though i'm not going to DISHONOUR my FAVOURITE website by getting all weird about it and I REALISE that we have our differences which makes it all the more interesting to SOCIALISE here. ;)

Making statements like that, I sure hope you have your body ARMOUR on... :p

Don't worry, that's the way we are technically supposed to spell things here in Canada as well, being a Commonwealth country and all. I never do though... ;)

Don't worry, my DEFENCE is sufficient to allow me not to need ARMOUR.

[~Shard~]

In that case, I applaud your VALOUR. :cool:

[MacRy]

In that case, I applaud your VALOUR. :cool:

We have to stop this before I make an ARSE of myself. :rolleyes:
