First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who continues to make a positive contribution to the forum. Your interest in the NLSC and the forum are much appreciated, and it's great to see people willing to share patches, information and stories about NBA Live, debate NBA related topics, or post about whatever here in General Talk. A special thanks to everyone who does their best to always follow the rules.
I'd also like to mention some names. My apologies if I don't mention you, it's nothing personal.
Tim, who gave me this position and has been a great help over the years. I couldn't have a better role model for being webmaster of this site. I've got some pretty big shoes to fill, hopefully I'm on the right track.
Brien, whose work on FshEd and EAGE has made patchmaking much easier. He's also been a lot of help over the years.
Lutz, who is a great example of how not taking things too seriously while still putting in a lot of effort makes for a good webmaster. Thanks for all the help Lutz, and I hope when you're not too busy you can drop by the forum once in a while.
Yohance, for his help in moderating the forum and his willingness to contribute to discussions, be it helping with a problem or simply posting his opinions. Thanks Thug!
Tales, a veteran from the old forum and a great member of the community. It's great to have you around Tales. "LOL

Stevan, whose enthusiasm is most welcome and appreciated. Thanks to my fellow Bulls fan.
Matthew/NBA_Fan_23, who isn't shy about voicing his opinions in NBA Talk. Shame about Spree, Matt.
Shane, for continuing to grace us with his presence. Shane doesn't patch as often as he used to, but he's still around for the General Forums. You should let us see some more of your latest writings, Shane.
EG, a mature and level-headed individual who always makes a positive contribution.
Eugene and Dr P., who haven't been around recently. Two individuals who are great to have around in the General Forums.
Nick, who joined the old forum late in its existence and has established himself as a friendly, helpful and valuable member of the community.
Returning veterans and guys who are always up for a discussion. In no particular order: stack42, Robby, limpdilznik, Laddas_KB8, Kobe4mvp, Psycho_Jackal, kobes_4real, Scary Hedo, alexboom, joemimic, Martin, Jowe, cocobee, Finnboy, Andreas Dahl, Metsis, ruffryder8, mp3, Bredrin, MJForever, Vins15, scubilete, colin826, Swoosh, and gloveguy.
A big thanks to all the patchmakers, especially those who are willing to contribute to our Downloads Database. If you've ever released a patch, then this thanks is for you. Special thanks to guys such as Travis Lee and the members of AWR, and the LiveDesign team.
Tony. Despite our past differences, I cannot understate his contribution and importance to the community, nor his talent with graphics. I'm sorry for my role in our argument, I hope we can let bygones be bygones.
The guys from nbalive.org: Ben, Rens, Steve-o/Dr Seth, Liam, David/DreamSpeaker/LegoSHAQ, Dmitri and Santiago "Kq" Roza.
I can't think of any more names, but again, thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the online NBA Live community. I hope you'll stick around a while longer.
