Thanks JP...

First off, you all can take this post as a "kiss@ss post" or whatever you want to, but I'm being sincere.

I just want to come on here and say thank you to JP for making this site. I know it wasn't originally meant to be for this many users (103,000!), but now that it's this big it's cool to thinkk of how many people one guy/organization has touched directly or indirectly. I'm one of them, definitely.

I have so many more friends now online that I can truly confide in to help me with things when I need advise, lend me a shoulder when I'm down, or laugh with when humorous things occur... it's great.

Again, just saying thanks to JP for making this site. It's really appreciated. :)

Here here!

I've been on Antionline since 1999, and I've enjoyed my time here ever since! As one of the longest standing members of the community, I want to thank everyone on this board for helping me to grow in my knowledge of computer and network security...

I'm sure I speak for all the users of this site when I say we are very appreciative of the amount of time and money that you've poured into this site and its community.

Regards,
Wizeman

Man, I have to agree! With all the compliants and bellyaches as of late, it is great to see somebody actually step up to the plate and say "thank you" for a job well done, and I will be that person to say it also.

Of course, not everybody likes JP, this site, its mission and status, but as long as I have been on here, JP never really cared as long as the word got out and people are informed. I think we as a community are an extension of that voice. We share advice, information, meet new people, enemies, code, experiences and most of all, knowledge. Man, I have to say I have learned A LOT since my inception to this site in early 1999 when I was a big fan of the mailbag and Eye On The Underground. Heh, even Bub was cool despite the complaints, lol.

With that said, this site has come a long way, and I hope a bright new future for it, because I enjoy being here and the many things I have learned. Thank you very much, JP.

I gotta join in on this too..... i totaly agree with all of you, JP this site is wonderfull.... and ive told you that millions of times

You really should spend more time on IRC though, we miss you buddy

I agree. AntiOnline has all these members and everything because of JP and his leadership. I am proud to be a member for the services, friends, learning, and everything else about it. Thank you AO and Thank you JP! Forever am I appriciative by everything it does for all it's users. Thank you.

Why anti-online is the best

1. Great members. I've learned so much from all of you
2. In my opinion JP has created on of the best forums on the net, puts other forums to shame.
3. Suicide threads and auto banning have made the threads almost flame free.
4. L337 speak is kept to a minimum
5. We now have more tutorials than I have time to read.
6. Tons of member input. This site just keeps getting better and better.

party hats for everyone!

Not only was this site not designed for that many users, remember, that is only 1 year worth of people. This site was oringinally a new site. It hasn't been a forum site for that long. It really makes you see how many people one person can touch. Especially with all the different types of publicity JP and AO get. Good pubicity from some places, very negative from others. Either way, the site is a "one of a kind" and that is always a good thing...unless of course it starts distributing kiddie pr0n...thats never good.

i think all members should at least sign this thread to show there appreciation whether they just use AO for downloads or post in the forms thank you JP for making AO the best community on the net kudos 3 cheers for JP w00t w00t w00t

Hey...I've only been here a couple of months, and I know I've made some damned stupid posts, but I love this place. It is one of the most informative sites on the web, and the interaction just makes it that much better. My wife thinks she is an AO widow, as I am almost always here when I'm around my computer. I salute you, JP, for such a fine creation...and yes, I've quit crying. :)

Man... I'm not going to cry man... Ow damn... *snif*. Erm... I. I Love this em .. this site. Ow damn... and. *snif* I fully agree with everything jehnx said.
bye *snif* --kwiep

Well I'll say that JP has done good in my book. At first I was rather dubious about the switch to a forum based site, but I think it has done pretty good. JP has been really good about listening to his user base too, even though it seems that some people think he's just ignoring us. I know that he has implemented a couple of changes to the site that I recommended a long while back :)

FWIW, I have been following AO for many years now... I think I "discovered" the site back in late 97, but it may have been earlier than that. Sigh, the memory starts to go as you get older.


Keep up the good worth JP.

I didn't even think about that... I forgot that it's only been counting them since the new forum thingy. That is so awesome.

Yeh man, definitely... I think that anyone who appreciates this place should sign this to show it. JP really deserves a good ol' pat on the back. :)

WE LOVE YOU JP!

What a copyoff of the eminem song, spitfire, but you basically put it right! AO is here to stay!

Yeah, AO is a great site. I've been registered since January but have been here really since late november. I think the site is great. Over this time I've seen the site change alot, especially AO IRC. I really wish JP & others would be on IRC more but hey, they have jobs. Anyway, I hope JP continues to improve this site. Go JP! *w00t w00t*

I added a translation for that. Saves some time for people who don't have much. :)

W00T! Beautiful site JP. Not as many kiddies asking how do i hack Hotmail or AOL since you put in the auto-banning and suicidal threads :) You are good!

And I agree of course :). w00t

We (I think I can express the feeling of a lot of people here) can cry, polemicate, grumble, be idiots, hangry and more.
In fact, it's only because we like this site very much and want it to be perfect.

Your on the good way JP, we will have to become wise! ;)

I too thank you JP.

I have learned a lot from this place and have so much more to learn. I don't post much because I am still an newbie to security, regardless of the title I have earned here.


This is a fantastic site, a lot like a home and family.

AO is great, so is the IRC channel...

I have to agree that the forum is the best I've seen and the site and it users are very helpful and a good laugh... I hope AO continues to grow for a long time to come...

Well done JP.

yeah, jc- completely :p

I don't usually like to just add a post saying I agree.... but here's one.

I agree, this is a great site with a wealth of knowlege... Sit-down, shut-up, and listen.... you just might learn somehting.

Here Here! :P

woa jehnx i agree completly with you i have been a member of AO forever and i an very impressed how JP has kept members inline and alwasy maintained order(somewhat :P)...i have seen many organizations and communitys go down hill once it got pretty big....mad props to ya JP :)

I see I didn't put in my word yet, so i'm gonna do it now:

THIS PLACE RULES :)

come on pll show your respect by signing this post im dissapointed only 27 replys come on we can do better than that show your appretiation to JP if it wasnt for him we wouldnt be here if the peeps that only signed up for the download of free proggys and kick ass tuts sign this to show you appreciate antionline and JP come on SIGN this to say thanks

Well,

I also want to say thanks. I have been a member for about 3 months and have learned a tremendous amount. I will say also that my printer has about burned up from all the tuts and stuff i have printed...LOL....I have a dialup and its a pain to search for tuts when i can print them off and find them that way :-) Keep up the good work. I will say also that I do enjoy this place even though there are sometimes that I get fed up with some of the attitudes here :-) Take care all....
/me fades back into the backround

What the hell is AntiOnline?

well im going to agree with everyone except for one thing. I think the antipoint system is getting out of hand around here. I mean it is like the whole site revolves around it now. I will probably be flamed bu doesnt matter i come here maybe once every 2 months.

Oh well see you guys in another two.

WB ennis d000d hope u are back for a long time :) w00t ennis is back *hopefully*

Since I have been a member there has got to have been 5 additions. It seems like he puts alot of hard work and effort into this site, and consistant upgrades and additions. all I have to say is great job W00T!

Woohoo Ennis is back. wb !!!!
:)
I hope this will lighten up the site discussions again.
