Yes, thank you. Without this site, I might have gotten some real work done during the day. :-D

Happy Anniversary Bill!

I'm just curious, has Lisa every thought you were married to this site more than her?

Anyway, I echo the sentiments. I spend more time on this site than another….hands down! If I had a dollar for every hour I've spent on here, I too could be retired by now!

Happy Anniversary Bill and 14ers.com.

This site is a awesome and the added mapping features and constant updates you provide will provide many more the opportunity to learn and meet lifelong friends and continue to make memories that will be remembered and most likely documented here as well.

Thanks for all you do here Bill.

Nah, but I'm pretty sure she gets sick of hearing about the site. =;

Oh, I should mention the site will be 14 years old in November. Only the forum is turning 10. Prior to the current forum, some of you may remember that we had a different, archaic forum for about a year.

Indeed, thanks Bill! I've met some great people thru the Forum and been turned on to many great weekends of climbing thru the sharing of ideas, plans, and community.
14ers.com rocks!

Thanks Bill, for such a great sight. For me, the average mountaineer, this has been an invaluable tool that I use just about every day. :bow:

Happy 10 years to the forum! It's the only internet forum that I've ever been a part of and frequented, because it's so different from any others I've seen. If someone were to write a history of this forum, I'd get that book in a heartbeat! So many stories, hilarious threads, amazing TRs, and even its fair share of tragedies that made this place feel more like family than some obscure collection of faceless internet users.
I've been a member for nearly 8 years, and to this day I still check the website every day, it's definitely my favorite.
Thanks for a great resource, Bill!

Here's to the next 10! :iluvbeer:

Don't post here much, but I check in several times a day at a bare minimum. This site is easily in my top 10, for its layout as well as its information.

Massive thanks to Bill and all the helpful posters. =D>

Thanks Bill!
