I apologise for the lack of activity on the site for the past week. A combination of work and health problems has slowed things down for me tremendously. I will try to get back to speed as soon as possible.
Likely Fluffy, AlephX has found a day job, and won't have as much time to contribute to this site as before. I would like to thank him for his contribution so far, and wish him every success in his new job!

I whish Andrew the best.
-I do not have any idea about how to do it, in that hypotetical case (this is probably easy to overcome)
-I love the subject of the site, in fact it is the subject of my personal page, but I have to recognize that I am still contributing to the site in an irregular way; I would like to solve some prioritary matters and dedicate more time to give (and not only to take and discuss).
-My point of view will be always the point of view of an user, not an expert, because my education is not related to computers or programming; I just try and sometimes find something useful, but refuse the command-line and sophisticated things.

Simon, It is very kind from your side to say that. But... please consider:Simon.T wrote: I bet on 2 more new moderators teobromina (CryptEdit rtf editor), Firewrath (JauntePE Discussion) ...who knows?

My sympathies to Andrew and I hope it's soon over - whatever it is.
As what concerns me, I can't volunteer (I know, I haven't even been suggested, but I'd like to help out if possible) - too much work to systematically test suggested apps for complete portability.
But I have another suggestion, as seen in another forum dealing with free software and which might help to reduce the workload to the moderators. There, users can "adopt" one or more programs and are then in charge to keep the record updated. It's usually the one who submits a program, but can also be others for older entries.
Admittedly, the system differs inasmuch as there the versions are just mentioned in the thread header. I don't know if it's possible for a database to provide limited access just for the purpose of updating.
Should such a system be adopted, I will gladly take care about a few progs.
Cheers
Chris

Nah, too much work there. I prefer to rely on the "PFC Update" forum for this.But I have another suggestion, as seen in another forum dealing with free software and which might help to reduce the workload to the moderators.

Thanks for all your well wishes, but don't read too much into my message. It's just the normal ebb and flow of life.
I posted the message just in case some of you are wondering whether I have been hit by a car or something.
Call me if you need help
.. like many I don't have a lot of time but am a fan of your site.
If you have a specific job or set of jobs you need done I am pretty adept at most DB, web and other dev work (java, php, html, js, dot net, vb, vba, sql, linux and windows).

Willing and partially able
I really like that idea however I agree with Andrew. The update forum is the easier rout and for the most part, those who summit applications can "adopt" the programs they submit, more or less, in that they can submit the update in a forum. The adoption program relies on a lot of contributers that are frequently active and committed to their applications. Sounds like herding cats to me.But I have another suggestion, as seen in another forum dealing with free software and which might help to reduce the workload to the moderators.

Also, I am willing and partially able to help. Although it would be cool to be a moderator for such an awesome site, there are others here that have been members longer that would be better suited, but I am willing to help in whatever ways I can. I'm a college student, so I have plenty of time, but absolutely no money. haha
Let me know...
