Topic: Thank you, Sol

Sol,

I could email you my thanks for going above and beyond in the effort to restore our site in a matter of weeks. But I would rather share it here.

Sure, we lost a few things, and that sucks. But through your hard work even though our server suffered a catastrophic event you managed to restore 16 years.

I also want to thank you for this site. Before I came here, I had no hope of fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing stories people, besides myself, would read. This site not only helped me become a better writer, I wrote and published a novel. For someone who suffers from paralyzing depression, that was an EPIC achievement.
I am forever grateful for this site it has been a literal lifeline to me.

I agree. Thanks, Sol, for putting it all together. Only two old chapters survived that I know about. I have the pre-commented originals so it's not a complete loss for me. I now have to go back and see if my writing mechanics have improved.

Sol, I, too, pitch my thanks into the well of gratitude for pulling us from the brink of cyber destruction. A daunting task indeed. Well done!

Re: Thank you, Sol

Thank you but I still feel terrible. The last two weeks have been tough. I do appreciate the kind words. At one point, I wasn't even sure it made sense to keep the site going. This thread makes me feel like we made the right decision.

I learned to write on this site!  And I'm still learning!  You made the right decision, and you are to be commended.  Good job!
