Today is the 10th anniversary of the launch of Lansing Heritage. The site has become far beyond what I and my original two partners ever envisaged and we have many to thank for this. To begin with, I would like to thank Mr. Widget and Robh3606 - the administrators of this forum. They have expended countless hours of their time and have been kind with their knowledge and experience to all of the forum members. They have fostered a culture of professionalism and respect that has my personal gratitude.
Our moderators deserve special recognition for keeping this forum a place that members want to participate and for the thankless task of occasionally stepping in to defuse potentially contentious discussions. Therefore, my thanks to:
Last but not least, I would like to thank forum member 4313B whose knowledge of JBL products is unsurpassed by anyone on this forum and who has been prolific in sharing this knowledge.
- boputnam
- Hofmannhp
- jblnut
- scott fitlin
- Techbot
- yggdrasil
With regards to the overall website, I would like to thank my original partners Steve Schell and Steve Lewis. Without their vision, this site would not have been possible.
Special recognition is deserved by Mark Gander and the staff at Harman International whose support of this website was and remains indispensable for whatever level of success we achieve. In particular, I want to thank Greg Timbers who has been extremely cooperative in sharing his knowledge and expertise.
Finally, I need to acknowledge the largely behind the scenes contributions of the late John Eargle. He was instrumental in establishing this site through the sharing of his personal notes in documenting the history of JBL and mentoring our subsequent progress. One of the greatest rewards in developing this site was the opportunity to know John Eargle.
While the above regards the content of the website, there is an equally important and largely unsung debt owed to the host of this website. Specifically, I want to persionally thank John Nebel, owner of CSD Internet, and his associate Ann Cantelow.
For seven of the past ten years, John has hosted the site at no charge. In the first three years, the site used a commercial host and both the site and forum were plauged by regular outages and forum crashes. We went through three versions of the forum before the current one and in each case lost everything due to crashes and unrecoverable backups.
Since moving to CSD, John and Ann have provided near immediate turnaround on technical issues and their rigorous daily backups have saved this forum on a number of occaisions. I can't say enough about the importance of their contributions to this site.
