Vai,

Read back some of the posts in the Moderator Forums when Simon was our Administrator... You will see that he was a man of action and of his word. We never had to remind him constantly of changes requested or promises made. When we asked for something he always made it a point of obliging right away. That is what kept us fueled to want to make this the site what it is today. He is the one that "created" the great site that it is now. When I first came on board here.. it was not as fast paced as it had become once Simon took over administrating, it was also not as organised... a bunch of us became moderators under his watch and he has made us "love" this site. I am sure if you look back at the stats you will see where the line shoots upwards at a faster rate... you should see it was while under his administration. Ever since he left that role, we have been asking for improvements and nothing had been done to our satisfaction (especially reorganization of the forum index). Many of us felt frustrated and were tempted to leave. I know may stay here is solely for the love of Excel and the friendship I have accumulated here with other users. The other successful boards don't have the same feeling of respect and friendship as this one does (at least not that I sense).... but surely, you would understand that we are all here for one goal and that is to make it a site not to be ignored.

I also am fortunate enough to be a moderator at Simon's site, along with a few others moderators from here. He is doing a great job of establishing an excellent website and knowledgebase...And we do wish Simon all the best for a successful site.... not necessarily for a competitive site, but for an alternative place for people around the world to gain valuable knowledge and friendship from the best Excelers out there!
