I've only been a part of this forum for 4 years, but I would like to say that some members here go above and beyond to help others out and I am really appreciative of this. I would like to give props where props are due and thank the members who I have interacted with in my short time here:

Vr3MxStyler2k3 - the first Polkie I met back in 2005. At the time I met Trey on a different forum, he was very helpful with my speaker building and technical questions. He let me come over and hear his system and I was hooked on the DT's. So I bought them from him and they are still in my main rig to this day.

Face, Polrbehr, Lasareath - I first met you guys at one of Sal's gatherings and I thought you were all a bunch of opinionated folks but found out that you really do care. So here's what I learned from you guys in particular and would like to thank all of you for your help along the way

Polrbehr - Thanks for all the wonderful food and advice given over the years. And thanks for the vacuum cleaner for cleaning my dorm room! I am still listening to the Polk R15's every day, and love those little speakers!

Face - Thanks for letting me know about the Vette Doctors. They are absolutely wonderful and great to work with. Thanks for all the rides, demo's, and random Q&A chats via e-mail and PM about audio!

Lasareath - Great food and a wonderful party, man you really know how to put on a gathering. I liked the gear, the food, and the catering you brought. And man those SDA's were loud!!

Nadams - When we met in NYC, Noah gave me a MetroCard for my ride back. You didn't have to do that. Thanks!

exalted512 - I learned so much from you reading your past responses about installs and the like. And thanks for the help via PMs!

audiobliss - Another great member. Although we haven't met, helped me a lot via PM's and private e-mailed questions.

Disneyjoe7 - I haven't met you in person, but you have been a great help with my tube preamp build questions. I can't wait to meet you down at PolkFest!

Bigaudiofanatic - When I had a Car Audio question, or just a general automotive question, this was the guy to go to and he has been very helpful the whole time! Very patient and spent a lot of time explaining things to me.

Jstas - I'll admit. John and I disagree on a lot of things but when it comes to technical know-how, he is a great resource. I learned a lot from him just going back and reading old automotive posts and lurking.

Now I know there are many more who I have yet to meet but would just like to thank the above members for their time and assistance!

    Well, apparently my post above was too huge so here it is in 2 pieces:

    treitz3 - Tom bought a laptop from me and I sent him the machine first so he could evaluate it. He said he liked it, I told him to pay me whenever you want as I am in no rush, he sent me a check the NEXT DAY overnight mail! That envelope came faster than Superman! Awesome dedicated member!

    lightman1 - I inquired with Russ about some Electrical Engineering careeer questions at a Power Company, he gave me a lot of info and I would like to thank him for his insight being an engineer on power systems!

    shawn474 - I had a cable management question and he sent me some cable ties for free, these were exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find in local stores.

    DarqueKnight - Man you really know a lot about audio. I've learned so much just reading your posts even though we haven't really talked in person.

    madmax - Another great member. Although we haven't met, seems to know a lot about tubes and enjoyed your threads on modding the Scion xB.

    Concealer404 - Very helpful with automotive related threads and very quick to respond. I learned a lot just reading your posts.

    Sherardp - Thanks for all those HD-DVD's! And you really know your stuff when it comes to projectors and HT gear. Great technical knowledge and a GREAT member!

    Dorokusai - Great when I had a forum question or needed help moving a post to the right section. Quick response and a lot of help when I needed it!

    And one last thing. Treitz3 was extremely helpful and spent lots of time on the phone explaining all sorts of things to me from troubleshooting/repairing electronics to setting up my whole-house audio system with pro amps. Thanks for being honest and upfront with me, as I was always told "pro amps are no good for 2 channel use" until you gave me your background on studio gear and now I understand why they are commonly used in BGM systems such as Abercrombie stores or theme parks. Thanks for helping out and I have to say that Tom has gone ABOVE and BEYOND even offering to send me a Niles zone volume control when I told him I would buy the gear myself. We have some great members here like Tom, and I am very appreciative of all your help! Thanks!

    I think forums are one of the most useful tools on the internet. Nothing like hearing from your peers about certain products/topics, etc.

    Talking about the devil, has anyone heard about him lately? I have not seen much of his posts lately, I believe he might have moved to Polk Army permanently?





















































    Jstas;1633893 YOU CAN NOT SEE THIS MEMBER'S POSTS AS HE IS STILL ON YOUR IGNORE LIST!!!
    Oups! I guess the devil is still around! :eek::confused: Now I realize why I presumed he was no longer around! :wink::tongue:
