Was looking for a particular picture from a few years ago and stumbled on this thread.

Man, that was a killer time!

So few of the names there are still around too.

    Thanks for dragging that one up John, what a great time. Damn shame we lost all the pictures from every Polkfest when the format changed. Vanilla should be awarded the golden t u r d award for that screw up.

    For the sake of accuracy Vanilla had nothing to do with it. At the time of the changeover Polk's IT department was responsible for what archive material was resurrected in the new host. Previously the forum was under the administration of Polk's marketing department and when they were disbanded the IT department inherited it. Vanilla was merely the repository of whatever files Polk gave them. The IT department's first decision was to have the forum become a static resource for everything it had accumulated. In other words there would have been no ongoing posts just an accessible database of information. Myself and NAP (the other moderator, at the time) pointed out how much of a valuable asset the forum was and convinced the department to preserve it as much as possible and continue it as you find it now.
    Sure it might be an "alzhheimered" version of the old forum, but it's more than it could have been. Maybe stop complaining so much about what it isn't and work to build what it could become?

    I went to Disney's house to pick up my Csi5 years ago when I was in the Orlando area. I haven't spoken to Janmike in a very long time either. Wonder if he is still way, way, way up north.

    ....and good ol' Ted, with the rockin' "woodshed" rig. I always questioned his definition of a woodshed though. lol You needed a Captain Crunch decoder ring to have a conversation with the man too.....but I liked it anyway.
