Moonraker Posted 25 April , 2008 Share Posted 25 April , 2008 I agree with all that's been said about Chris above- the Forum is a fantastic achievement, and I've had three great years as a member - and look forward to many more under the new team.

charlesmessenger Posted 25 April , 2008 Share Posted 25 April , 2008 Chris What can I say except that you have created and nurtured what has become an invaluable and, indeed, unique resource for anyone interested in 1914-18. I have always wondered how much sleep you have been able to enjoy over the past five and a half years; not very much I fear. You deserve a break and time to have another life! I will always be grateful to you and am glad that you will still be around. As for the new owners, you all have a proven track record as moderators and I have every confidence in you. I will do all I can to support you. Floreat Great War Forum! Charles M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Rumsey Posted 25 April , 2008 Share Posted 25 April , 2008 Chris A big thank you. Although I am a relative newcomer the GWF has become an essential part of my developing interest in WW1. I doubt any of us can understand how much effort you have put in. I wish you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmaasz Posted 25 April , 2008 Share Posted 25 April , 2008 Someone recently advised a new member to be careful as the forum is very addictive. How true that is. I am amazed every single day at the wisdom and erudition shown by members on the most weird of enquiries. It has been of immense benefit to me and my associates in the Oxfordshire Yeomanry Trust. 'New posts' has become the first thing I turn to on switching on my PC. Chris - you are a miracle. Enjoy the peace of mind that future days will bring.

shred Posted 25 April , 2008 Share Posted 25 April , 2008 Chris, From a "Newbie" thank you very much and best wishes for the future. You, the mods and the members of GWF have opened the door to a black hole in my family history. Without this forum the stories of my four G,G Uncles would have been lost to the future Helsby family. Best wishes, Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Seymour Posted 25 April , 2008 Share Posted 25 April , 2008 A thousand posts ago I joined this Forum in search of help for matters associated with researching the Old Boys of Thetford Grammar School. I have had such amazing help from so many Pals in that time, and their knowledge and photos have contributed greatly to our annual Remembrance events, and all because of Chris' wonderful Forum - one of the best places on the web. This is the sort of thing the web is for. So, very many thanks to Chris for setting it up and to the Mods for taking it on, and to all of you who have helped over the years. With best wishes, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
