Just wanted to say thanks to all of our "regulars" on howard forums ppc. I learn something new everyday, waste way too much time and LOL at several of our members (I won't name names b/c I'll forget somebody and get flamed

) while working (which draws many stares

). Anyway, to those who take the time to report posts to me (which really, really helps), thank you. To those who are always helping others, thank you.

Sometimes it's hard trying to keep things going in the forum (with all other things in the "real world") but you "regulars" help make it funny and make it easier. Thanks

Hey Mike a great thanks to you first of all , for all the support and dedication on this our great forum , second of all , I will also like to thank everyone , for putting a big freaking smile in this grumpy old ex-trouble maker , it really does help to keep a sane and healthy daily routine some years ago I would have been up to no good instead of talking to funny and bright guys from Canada , real friendly and spiritual people from AR , our trustfull PC people in the northern CA (heck some years ago I wouldnt talk to a Northern CA at all {its a gang thing

}glad I do now

) , totally converged people from the big Apple , our very own doctor , the I love my treo (but I like my BlackJack) guy , and the list goes on and on . . . heck we even got ourselves a "Migra" (Inmigration and Naturalization Agent) in AZ so yeah thanks to all of you guys who really make a dude's day !!

p.s. For all of you that think this is to corny you know who I am and you know how I look and act so I will think twice before making fun

p.p.s. As I much as I love the forum can we please stop talking about that thing you know I hate ??

You probably wouldn't know what to do...there's a treo in each of them!

That'd be good for defusing the Treo-haters tension in the beginning of the evening and then leading to tequila fueled brawl as the evening draws to close

I'd be more concerned about what treo haters would do to Treo owners in the to-Quill-Ya induced tirades...

I hate you all. You waste my day. You piss on my wall. Try to get me to spend hundreds of dollars on shiny gadgets, and when succeed you try to do it again and again. I've become less productive. I've turned down sex with my wife to post with y'all.....What good are you?

As a parent we always tell our kids to be careful of who they meet on the internet. Every time I think of saying that I think of people like you guys. It blows me away that I have met so many incredibly nice people in forums like this (and you guys are at the top) and yet there have been so few that are, well, less than friendly.

The fact that people will take time out of their day to just be friendly or say something supportive is just too cool. Yesterday eagle1 did that for me in another thread. It just speaks volumes about how cool people can be.

I would take any one of you as my wingman any day.......THANK YOU........THANK YOU

Dave

Hey I like it a lot here because in real life up close and personal , I do struggle a bit for people to trust me or to realize I am a geek but I get what you are saying I mean where else can I meet old canadians that are funny ??

Posted by: Ishimaru

Who do you guys consider as regulars?

Not here.

Posted by: mikewchandler

I purposefully didn't mention names. "regulars", to me, are those that are on here just about everyday. And then there are those that are on here multiple times per day (of course not me)

Some people don't post much and some post-whore all the time, so I don't ever really look at post count.......more like post contribution.

Posted by: Urban Strata

Hear, hear! I'll drink a scotch tonight in honor of this thread (and you guys

Hey dont drink just scotch , how about some Tequila for your friends down south

Posted by: Evaluator

I’ve learned something from every one of you regulars and I appreciate it. I come back here every day because you appear to me to be a group of genuinely good men. Besides, once in a while you guys make me laugh to the point of tears.

Posted by: neo001

Would it be to much to ask for pictures of us regulars ?? I mean you all know how I look , I have also seen pictures of Urban Strata , Hellomoto_25 , Mike Chandler , PINHEAD , but everyday I wonder how you guys look . . .

This is what I was wondering too. I think my screen name gives the wrong impression that I'm from a different forum. Truth is, I'm a diehard Pocket PC forum phonaholic geek who's on here multiple times per day! I think my wife hears more about 'what Neo said today' or 'which new phone Sabesh just got' than what's actually going on at my work or with my actual friends. However, I think it makes her happy and secure to know that something like one of Mike's video reviews is all she'd ever "catch" me watching on the internet. She actually walked into our office once while I was checking out the Tytn video review. When I told her what it was, you should have seen the eyes roll.
Anyway, thanks to all you guys who have helped me with my devices this last year or so....

Posted by: Ishimaru

LOL We haven't seen a Mike video review in AAAAAAGES!!!

Indeed. Who else thinks Mike should bite the bullet and review the Athena?

C'mon, Mike, take one for the team.

Posted by: Ishimaru

"i"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: neo001

Ok so no one is up for pictures huh ?? hmnn and yeap we need another Mike video on his yard , pool , office , stair closet , etc . . .

Posted by: spartanrob

How could I make it through the day without you guys or HoFo. I'm so glad my work doesn't block this site

It's nice to you you can spend hundreds of dollars on 'toys' and have a real place to go to swap ideas, stories and advice. Not to mention make trades. I echo the comments of others, it's nice to meet trustworthy people on the internet for a change.

Posted by: mikewchandler

I'll do a review of my treo!!

Posted by: Ishimaru

You already DID a review of the Treo awhile back. I remember you did part of it in your closet

Posted by: mikewchandler

yeah....I was just kidding for neo001 (Jaime).

Posted by: neo001

Naaahh just wanted to see some reactions . . . sorry dude , my hate for that thing is real , to the point of not even helping people that I meet in the street (which I normally do with other wm phones) I really really do HATE IT maybe if they will make that thing in the form of the trinity . . .

Posted by: RayanMX

Thank you Michael!

It's a pleasure to be part of this awesome community...

Cheers!!!

Posted by: Urban Strata

Here, here! I believe this forum is as strong as ever! Just think about all the excitement and conversation when the Touch was released in Europe; the magnitude of the Kaiser's release will be 100x that, if not more. HoFo is the place to be!

Thanks to everyone who contributes to the fun and good information, and to Mike for keeping it sane.

Posted by: mikewchandler

Neo001, where ya at man? This threads for you.

Posted by: Urban Strata

Bump!

I'd like to send a HUGE SHOUT-OUT OF GRATITUDE to the moderators in the main BST fraud forum! I had never checked it out before the events of this past weekend, and I'm utterly amazed at the level of diligence, professionalism and raw detective work that goes on over there. If you buy or trade phones on HoFo, you owe it to yourself to keep a close eye on that forum!

http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=182

So to "the mods who stop frauds" (I know, I'm cheesy), THANKS!

Posted by: i880/8525junkie

it's been over a year since I joined and I'm amazed @ how much I've learned thanks to you guys. I've tried many devices, learned so many things and met all you whackos.

Thanks to

Mike: For keeping the sanity in these forums.

mark: My co-worker, good friend and hater of all things heavier then 6 grams. You've taught me so much

Jeff: your knowledge is amazing and yet ur so ****in easy going. I'm amazed someone from the south can love and appreciate NYC so much.

Jerry: mamajuana! (enough said)

Jaime: haciendo un gran placer conocerte. Aprendido mucho de ti y nuestro odio de todas cosas treo es muy chitoso. eres un buen amigo.

thanks to the rest of the guys : Dave, Naveen, Pitt, Sir Topas, Sabesh, monkh and everybody else I forgot to mention...

Posted by: mikewchandler

Hey guys.

I'm still around pretty much daily....just don't post as much sometimes. Thanks again to all the guys with the news. This is still my favorite forum.

Posted by: mikewchandler

just wanted to say thanks to wrangler and US for modding this forum and keeping things running well. it's nice to get to come in here and everything running smoothly. it's a lot of work and I really appreciate both of them.

Posted by: PiTT

you guys make me sick, can we change the name of this thread to the "pitt appreciation thread"?? honestly....

jk! thank you guys for making me waste so much of my damn time on here.

Posted by: mikewchandler

lol....once again pitt, u are right
