Plainview, thank you for all the hard work you put into developing this site. Your dedication to the community is really impressive. I honestly don't think that anyone else could've pulled it off, the way you have. You had the respect of a lot of members here, and I think they were willing to jump on board (98% conversion rate, iirc) because they knew and trusted you. Also, it was clear from the beginning that you were open to input and dedicated to making the site the best you could.
You've done a fantastic job with continually updating, improving, and expanding Union. You've shown really good judgment in handling problem posters and in your selection of mods (picking people who are even-handed and don't have big or fragile egos). There were a few trolls in the beginning, but we weeded them out, and now we have a community that can talk about multiple consoles without getting into fanboyish bickering matches, which is a rarity on the internet. It's the only site I visit anymore.
Thanks for saving TXB. And thank you again for all the hard work you've put into this site. It's really appreciated.
