    Thumbs up Special thanks to these guys

    Hi guys, i created this thread to tell everybody how happy i am to have found this forums. I've been searching quite long for a VB forum. I couldn't found anything in my natural language (spanish), so i started to look for something in english. And after a bit i found this forum, to wich i was a bit reluctant at first. But it surprised me how well this forum is run, and how respectfull the people is. So first, i wanna thanks everyone for making this, the greatest forum i know. And i want to give special thanks to those who could help me:

    • dglienna
    • RobCrombie
    • RobDog888
    • szlamany
    • dee-u
    • RhinoBull
    • Mark_Gambo


    These guys know much, and they do not have problems in sharing its knowledge with other. Attributes very hard to find and wich deserves all my respect.

    I thing that this is something word mentioning. That's why i created this trhead in the first place.

    So, thanks a again. I'll try to help in anything i can and
    off course, I will keep working on my english....

    Keep up the good work , Matias.-

    Don't forget me. I'm practically one of the gurus on the list that wasn't mentioned. Can't forget Joacim Andersson. Bruce Fox, penagate, Pino, and MartinLiss as well. Might as well add them too. Unless you are only referring to the peeps that personally helped ya.

    I'd be in the Games and Graphics section more often if more people posted in there. It's usually dead for hours at a time, unless a good day comes by. It's no wonder I'm in the Classic VB Section more often.

    I guess you haven't got the chance to help him in his queries hence you were not included.

    He needs to post as often as dglienna and RogDog888

    They both need to be in a Group Theropy Session. That way there, I'm sure to help him.

    dee-u was right, i just listed those who helped me, whether they were gurus or not. But like a said before, i thank u all. The list, was like, mention of those who happen to help me, in my particular program. Off course that there must be a lot other guys that do know much about other things. But how could i mention all?

    Re: Special thanks to these guys

    There was a thread like this a while back in Chit Chat. "My heros at VBF" started by sciguyryan (Where is he? Haven't seen him for ages...), but like all chit chat threads that one went wildly off topic. I think this is a better forum for it.

    If I may I'd also like to thank everyone that's helped me, and also the mods, admins, and Internet.com for running the place. Without them we'd all be up the creek

    I remember this one guy thanking a bunch of people, with me on the top of the list. I felt so special that day.

    In order to actually give more than 0 points to someone, you are gonna need 20+ posts, and I think 5 maybe 10 rep points. You start with 5.

    Re: Special thanks to these guys

    I didn't mind not getting rated. You have no obligation to rate anyone, but if you feel like it, you could go back to your old threads and rate the one's that you want, or just find another thread that was answered by someone that you want to rate, and rate that thread. It's always nice to see someone's name as the comment so that I know who rated me.

    Glad I've been able to help you.

    Jacob, i made that list, because those were the ones who help me. I don't know if they are gurus or not, i didn't make that list based on that.

    I was refering to Rhinobulls comment with a little humor

    I was well aware you meant just the people who helped you personally. Matter of fact I said something on it in the last sentence of post #2, and after you said what the list was about in post #7, I understood since then.

    Says who? There was some confusion cause apparently Matias misunderstood what I said. I cleared things up in post #21.

    You should be reading the link Rob mentioned which is also in my signature No big surprise seeing as we spent a lot of time writing it

    I completely agree.. I spend far more time on here helping other people than asking questions but in the 6 months or so I have been on this forum I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge, both from other members' posts and from the different experiences you get helping people with all sorts of problems.
