@Checker: Hope you're OK, can't remember the last time you didn't update any of the last 50 entries!
@billon: Thank you!

I noticed the same about two weeks ago and PMed Checker, he is still around monitoring billon's work.

@All: I'm alive and well ... taking a little break
Some private projects need all my time presently.
@billon: Don't be afraid. That's only "I am Baas"-humor
You're doing a great job

Re: Just a little statistic
Good to hear from you Checker
Re: Just a little statistic
If you look back through this thread, you'll see that Checker did a great deal for this site for many years, which billon has been kind enough to take over on. I know he hasn't been tracking his update work in the same way that Checker did, but the software updates are the life blood of the work here and are very important to address broad issues of reliability, both in software security and redundancy, communicating bug fixes and finding identifying a mirror when a program/site goes offline.
Since my availability is usually limited to weekends, the update process is not something I could take over from him without having some real delays. As it stands we usually catch updates that other sites miss (sometimes by multiple weeks), which is a big part of our search engine rankings.
Some very nice members said quite a few thanks recently but I just wanted to add one more. Thanks billon.

Re: Just a little statistic
Well, ditto: thanks to our fellow mod, billon.
Who, btw, also finds the time to contribute with plenty of great findings...

Re: Just a little statistic
Thanks. I can't speak for anyone else, but I've gained way more from my work on the site over time than I've put in.
Re: Just a little statistic
are you sure? you put a lot of work in here
its good to have an offline life too
Re: Just a little statistic
Actually efforts here helped with my career, greatly improved my understanding of collaboration, and gave me a broader understanding of software and tech. Also, when real life is going poorly, it's something of an oasis to have a project that people actually care about and use.
