I have been fortunate in my online life (since 1993, believe it or not) to have met so many fine folks. Most have come and gone over the years ... it's simply the nature of life on the web. But, coming back to building these websites I owe major kudos to several people, for whom I may never have decided to do this, at all.

First, to my old friend Brad. Back in 2001, he ran several successful scifi websites (Portal of Doom, Shadowdark), and he encouraged me to build Portal of Horror and Fantasy Search Portal websites. He gracefully shared his Unified SciFi Forums for my visitors, even hiring me to create a logo banner for his Shadowdark site ... when I was financially struggling. He closed the doors on his sites this past spring, just a month before I began to build these websites. I wish him luck in all his future projects, and hope he will find my little corner here on the net, someday.

Rodney Blackwell at T-Shirt Forums. He is a true inspiration to anyone thinking of creating a real community online. Without stumbling upon his t-shirt industry site, I would never have met such close friends ... who have followed me here, and always continue to provide encouragement and support. I look forward to that day, my friend, when we can sit down and talk web stuff over a brew!

Eric A. Mayer, who turned me on to CMS (Content Management Systems) and Joomla. The first person I ever gave my personal cell phone number to, and always freely exchanging valuable info in both the web and t-shirt worlds. It was one of our lengthy phone discussions that spawned the idea to rebuild these websites.

The Hole in the Web Gang: Bobbielee - who became my first friend in the t-shirt world, following a long argument on a forum discussion, and the only person I know that has read more Dean R. Koontz novels than myself. Kelly - always friendly and supportive to everyone, along with Marky Mark we had one hellova good showing in the t-shirt design contest.  Terry and Lisa - my biggest fans, and dear friends ... RTR! Robert, my brother from another mother, and the original thread killa. And a friend I met from the cool folks at Gemini Division Files, GOONKA, who keeps me on my toes nearly every day!

Thanks Y'all!
