Good initiative to get some valuable appreciation for the many good people on the forum which continue to contribute in many ways, also many years before people like myself have joined.
So indeed a token of thanks from my side as well!
And it is impossible to name all, but there are more out here that make helpful continuous contributions like asher, saxer, muk, carles (allthough he is around less) , hannes f, synthpunk, chimuelo, alaxander, paul t mcgraw and so on......... (and let's not forget to mention the enjoyable handmade avatars initiated by chillbot)
