Isn't it great how it's TPJ that posts about this and not a "Lounge person?"

Ahhh, Bolty, don't feel taken for granted. We all love you. Don't you know there is no other site for us. You're even more beautiful now than when you were just a useful links list. :P

it's not me that needs thanks, but the team - Griselda, Lemming, Refrigerator, Occhi, Mafvin, Elric, and the posters of this forum that make the site

Same old Bolty. I quote from an email dated 3-21-1999:

Here's an update to the list of resources.  Quite a lot has been changed.  I'd
appreciate it if you listed it as a "useful list" or something...there's no
need to call it "Bolty's list."  Call it the Diablo Strategy Forum list if you
wish.  I don't feel a need to take credit for a list of links.

The forum certainly is the moderators and posters we see each day. However, without you taking the initiative 5 years ago, we wouldn't have what we have today. It is easy to just sit back a let a good thing be what it is. Freshman Diablo is a good example of that. It served its purpose and I was too lazy to do anything more with it. You put the effort into keeping the site growing and blossoming. And, it sounds like there are more and better things to come. I'm sure that most of the moderators would agree that it is your forum and they do what they can to help keep it on the course you set for it. As a sometimes poster, mostly lurker, I know that I appreciate the resource you have provided and it will always be yours. Modesty is a good thing. When the credit due is so obvious, it is best to accept the accolades.

For one more blast from the past, from an email dated 7-22-1999, a hint at things to come:

I will no longer be taking care of my Links list.  Feel free to convert it to
a links section on your site if you so choose.

The reason?  I have a new pet project.  The BDSC.

This site is to remain secret at this time as I'm still gathering strat for my
strat section and I don't want to open my doors with nothing good to read.  :)

Please let me know what you think of it, and if you have suggestions (they are
very welcome).  You might find the links section familiar.  :)

Thanks for everything,
-Bolty

Thanks again to all for the great site!
