A Thank You From Dave

by Dave on Sep 26, 2008 9:20 PM PDT

Just wanted to take a second to thank you for the way Fanposts and Fanshots have been working the last month or so. The site format wasn't adequate to do things the way I originally envisioned but you guys got the general gist and have been sorting posts incredibly well into each. Not only is this clearer, it has actually created TWO must-read sections in the right sidebar. My site browsing is no longer complete unless I have checked the Fanshots as well because there's important and interesting stuff down there. Thank you! This sorting will become even more crucial as the season starts and hordes of people start pouring in.

It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that I appreciate the discourse that flourishes on a daily basis in the Fanposts and Fanshots. I don't know of a single sports site that has this level of conversation. Every day there's something that I couldn't do without. You guys are the best. Thanks for that, too.

Of course we couldn't do it without you Dave

Much respect for what you got going here. And to all the BEdgers everywhere. I might look at this site more than my homepage.

BlazersEdge isn't your homepage?

Thank you, Dave.

You provide a unique environment for a diverse bunch and it all works very well. The Bedge seems to set the standard for sports blogs. I congratulate both you and Ben.

Hail the king

Dave, you are the reason this site – correction, community – does so well. You keep B.E. classy and we (more-or-less) respond in kind and follow in your giant footsteps.

Thank you.

When I rule the world

you won’t have to say thank you, because I’ll make them all post in the right place.

For their own good.

The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.

Geesh....

Think we could adjourn the Mutual Admiration Society? Last time I heard this much " I love you, you love me" it was being sung by a big purple dinosaur to a bunch of kindergartners.
