Sorry for the down time

Thanks for getting it back. The problem must have been a bit of a stickler, but now you know.

 

You're our daddy, Peter!!!!!!

Pardon if I'm being crass, but... do you/would you accept any contributions? That upgrade sounds expensive!

 

THANKS Peter for all you do to keep us going!!!

 

Thanks so much Peter for all you do! If you decide you can take a little to help defray costs please let us know. I'd be happy to help if I can.

 

You are appreciated !!!!!

 

Wow. That's almost like a DoS attack, but in a good way, LOL.
Thanks so much for starting this site in the first place, and fixing when it broke!

 

"victim of its own success" Glad to hear it was "just" that and not a DoS, actually!

Add me to the list of thankful members who'd be willing to contribute if that becomes necessary!

 

You just made such a great site we can't stay off it.

 

Whew!

Thank you, Peter!!

 

The withdrawal pains were awful. Seriously.

 

IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!!

I want to repeat something I said in a post in another thread... it just seems to fit here. I said, in part...

And in view of our recent "crash" here, I'd like to say something. When I found this site, I fully expected to learn about art and antiques, and I have. What I didn't expect was the opportunity to learn in such a warm and personal way, and to make acquaintances around the world... learned, experienced, intelligent, generous, wonderful people. I don't get this sort of stimulation and enrichment any place else in my life.

Y'all are GREAT!!!!!

 

Thank you so much .This is THE BEST SITE, and I like so many others am willing to contribute the costs/

 

Peter, I missed it so much I was checking every few hours to see if running yet.

Really tough when just about quarantined in the house. Not contagious, just needed certain facilities very close-by.

And needed or not, at least would make some feel better if contributions/donations were accepted.

 

Add me to the contributors if its needed , I loathed not being able to get my fix !

 

Thank you Peter.

Now that the site's back up and stronger......it would be nice to see you post here more often...!

Y'know....to calm us down and all !!!

 

Peter, many thanks for your hard work and time spent as Administrator. That you do this as a volunteer is incredible. This site means a lot to so many people here.

Also a shout out to moderators, Davey and Skeezix.

THANK YOU!!

 

Thank you, Peter, for all you have done to get this site started and to keep it going after its rebirth in May 2014!

 

I'd be happy to donate too! I really missed not being able to get here!
