10 most influential people in this forum...

[lokelani]

Greetings Samo~
Hey guy....thankx for the honorable mention. No, you don't see me posting on the forums much. I've left that to Ryan and Spyderholic <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> However, I keep busy keeping our internet site stocked and updated.
When are you coming for a visit again? Sorry I missed you last time. I promise I'll be here for your next visit.
We're moving the store within the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted.
Aloha~

I'm too new here to post a pertinent oppinion, but there are some names I encounter quite regularily. The first to be, is Sal, though I never read anything on this forum posted by him. This doesn't mean, of course, that I don't respect and appreciate all that he's doing for the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> to rise and shine <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, and for the Forum to exist. But the others would be (not necessarily in that order):
ATE, for being the first to amaze me with his generosity and support.
Samo, for cheering up the party and his support for newcomers <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Glasshart
Vampyrewolf
Sword and Shield
Carlos
Raden
and the other forumates.
I've been thinking that knifepunk could figure too, for bringing some spice, but I'd better pass and wait.

Thank you to all those people who included me on their lists. I've been involved in knife forums ever since they started on the internet, going right back to recdotknives.com and then Knifeforums.com and Bladeforums.com. Over the years I've learnt a lot and met some wonderful people, some of whom have become close friends. I've tried to give some of the knowledge I've gained back to this forum, although it's becoming much harder lately as there are so many very knowledgeble members here now and I usually find that somone else has beaten me to the punch by the time I wake up <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. This is the only forum I frequent these days as it's still small enough to retain the extended family feeling that the other forums had in the early days. However that feeling could easily be lost and we must all remain vigilant if we are to keep it that way.

Thank you all for your support and friendship, however there are a few people I would like to thank individually. They are Sal, Joyce, Sam, Carlos, Chinook, Patti, Paul, Jeff/1911, Kahz, Blades and Linda. I'm sure I'll think of other people I should have mentioned and, as usual, it's all my fault <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

Take care,
Clay

Well, IMHO ~ THE most influential factor in this forum are the members themselves! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I've learned much from the opinions and views regarding Spyderco products! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Jeff/1911]

Thank you Linda and KK, for thinking me worthy of mention. You are indeed most kind and yourselves most significant in the grand scheme of all things "Spydie".

Cheers, Jeff/1911.

Picking just 10 would be tough. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I think I've probably learned something from everyone here at one time or another. That is what makes the Spydie Forum great!!!

Thanks for the mention 103. I appreciate it. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Thanks Samo!
I appreciate the mention though I haven't been posting much for quite awhile.
I do agree that you (samo) should be on that list. From the start, you've posted the most incisive questions and observations. You bring a perspective to this forum (as well as over at BF) that is informative AND entertaining AND enthusiastic.
Take care all

103,

Man, I guess I was sleeping or drinking decaf and missed this thread. Thanks for the mention but I'm just a rookie stil learning the ropes. (KK! S&S! Where's that blushie emoticon we're lookin for!! I need it now.)

I think we've got a great bunch of people here and we've got a great product to talk about too! I've met and made friends with too many of you to line em and rank em. So I'll have to nominate all of you and invite all the visitors and quiet people in the view mode to come on down and set a spell. You're all important, your views are respected here, and the more input we have the more we learn about <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>cos and ourselves. Welcome all!!

Stay safe! Stay sharp! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
