OK.. so... maybe I have issues.... .. and/or my Google-fu is weak. 
I have been apart of this community since it was 'd20 Reviews' under our esteemed Eric Noah before 3E came out. (heinously long-time lurker) I almost cried when I heard that D20Reviews is closing down and was being turned over to 'new management'. I was sooo very worried. But, I have been very happy at what has been done and all of you guys here (mods and everyone else that has a hand in the operation of ENWorld) ROCK!!! Thanks for all of your work and making this THE comfortable and happy place to discuss our beloved hobby of D&D.
I would just like to say that ENWorld is teh r0x0r5 and I do not know how people play D&D without it. It's sort of like playing football with a soccerball.... somehow, it just seems wrong.
(I know quite a few Europeans... my girlfriend is Belarussian... This is meant in jest. Before someone flips out about football and soccer (please don't) I watch (American) football and played Soccer in highschool. My girlfriend hits me everytime I call (European) Football - Soccer.
)
Maybe I am a little cheap or have not needed the extra functions, but because of this thread I have sprung for a Community Supporter Account (1 year). So, here I am with a shiny new Community Supporter Account and a search function... Looking for the fabled carrot **jump, jump... bite at the just out of reach carrot while looking rather indignant**
Can someone throw me a bone??

Heh. Many of the mods and admins, at least, were already very active on the site back in Eric's days. I digged up lots of news stories for Eric, for example (back when I was still "The shadow of my former self"). Henry coined the term "c'mon August!" And so on.Mac Callum

But HOW does he do it?
Forget WHO is Crothian?, or WHY does he do it?
HOW does he do it? Seriously. I don't think I read/ type fast enough. Just the page-loads alone would keep me from posting as often. Crothian, do you have 2-3 browser windows open for every thread you're participating in, Alt-Tabbing like a mad man? Do you block out all of the pictures, ads, etc. to increase page-load time?
I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating the old server must have been for you.

PS - That other thread was funny. Thanks for finding it! Reminds me of the time I lost my account name but wasn't able to re-register it. Only, I never got it back. I used to be Irda Ranger...
EDIT: I guess if I'm going to ask Crothian questions, I should at least spell his name right ...

Spelling is not one of my strngths, so i don't require it from other people.
I never have more then one browser or tab open to En World except when I'm also working on areivew and I tab between the message boards and the review area. I never block out the pictures, the sigs, avatars, or anything like that either. I do use a cable mod3em and I find the load times are usually pretty good with that even on the old server. But I did donate to the server fund and do try to give a little back to the site.
