[RESOLVED] My Last Post :(

For your information guys, Darren was the first who replied to my first post here.

Then, after some months, he quit working as a Tech (Correct me if I'm wrong, Darren).
His name wasn't shown as a Moderator, but as a Member. Then suddenly he returned!
This made everyone happy! One of the best (if not THE BEST) was back!!!

Now, because of some of us, he's leaving again and I don't know if he will EVER return!

I won't start thanking Darren, because I need too much space to thank him for his 1435 replies!!!
Let me just say that Darren isn't just a very good Tech. He is THE BEST!!!
It makes me sad watching the best gone!

Thank you Darren for everything! I wish you the best luck!!! We will all miss you!!!

Thanks for the support people. I didn't realise how much I meant to some of you. I will keep lurking around on the Forums (Big Brother is watching U!!!) & now I have a lot more time on my hands as I have just got into work and found that the business is closing due to bad financial management by the Bosses!!!!

Bloody typical isn't it????

Once again thanks people.

I sure hope this BB won't become Members only...
think once - we all have been Non Members when we first started using this BB.
We all as Pretty much all of us - need the help of other Techs, even for a second opinion.
Helping Young Techs is a must. When you are helping someone you basically help yourself (if this tech done a good job on someone's computer and you crossed by it so there you have it.).

Darren I didn't know you too much (and never Spammed you either...), But i will sure miss someone with more Experience than i have.

Bye and take care

Hopefully things will straighten out a little on these boards now, buy I have my doubts!

ShawnMT....good to see you're still alive!

Once again, sorry to see you go Darren, I know your advice has got me out of a pickle a time or two.

If non members can browse the list and there is one page where non members could post? I think that would be the best solution. I agree with some of your sentiment but it is really annoying to have certain disruptive influences.

What do you think?

Sorry, but I have to disagree!
I believe this BBS would run better if Members only could post.

BTW, I posted for the first time AFTER my registration!

We have to face the facts and work together.
We shouldn't loose guys like Darren for a bunch of wannabes!

AGREED.

Without registration, it's left open for abuse.. the other day there was a completely weird, funny and inappropriate post by some unregistered lamer in the CDROM forum...

Some of you may have seen it, if so you know what I'm talking about. It made me laugh at first but now I realize it was stupid and we don't need that kind of BS here.

If somebody is absolutely serious about seeking help/assistance/advice there should be no problem in asking people to register. Most understand why this is necessary and the rest can get lost. https://forums.windrivers.com/

It's a dog eat dog world out there, and there isn't enough dog to go around. So get as much dog as you can, before all the dogs gone.

Shame to see Darren Wilson go as he is a diamond Geeza who does not deserve any of the grief he has been getting. I am one of the lucky ones who actually knows Darren personally and he is one of the best in the business. Shame to hear about him losing his job https://forums.windrivers.com/

I agree that this would be better if Members Only could post. I, too, also registered before I posted for the first time.

I wish they had Doom for OS/400...that would be some treat!

Darren, I have to echo the sentiments of nearly everyone who posted and completely agree with them in that you will be sorely missed. I have learned a great many things from you and even if your answer did not work in itself, it usually led to a solution. I think most of the long timers are voices of reason and sanity in an otherwise crazy technical world. I am a relatively new member, but I have come to think of most of you guys as friends. These forums have been a sounding board, a gathering of a group of diverse people who had a mutual interest. I have always read with interest any of the opinions the moderators and other long timers have, because I think they are usually pretty well thought out. Between any group of people there will always be a difference of opinion, but that is what makes life interesting. I am truly sorry to see one of the best techs leave due to the ignorance of some intellectually and socially challenged individuals. Do what you feel you must, but don't be a stranger. Peace.
