Lansing Heritage 5th Anniversary

[Titanium Dome]

OR, we could get together, get drunk and go get a tatoo saying Lansing heritage

Sorry, I've already got a JBL tatoo on my ..... (fill in body part of your choice).

Couldn't we have some "gag" categories, too?

most obnoxious
worst spelling for native English speaker
best spelling for non-native English speaker
owner of ugliest working speaker
best curmudgeon ("In the old days when they did things right...")
worst fan boy of new products (I win! I win!)
worst post ever

Okay, I'm kidding, but your idea of some recognition of key players is a good one. This is one way to put forward the contributions of folks who created the look and feel of the forum. This is essential for the many new members who come on board with the AVS/Audiokarma/AudioReview/AudioAsylum/etc. experience and don't immediately appreciate the different culture here.

I say we create a class of Lansing Heritage Fellows (male or female), and we induct a small group of five (or more) at the five year anniversary, then one (or none if we see no need) per year thereafter. Each person could get a mini-blurb on the Fellow's page, or just a screen name reference if he or she prefers.

IMO the blurb is in two parts: a) why the person is recognized as a Lansing Heritage Fellow, and b) a personal statement by the Fellow.

In my line of work (gang prevention), I recognize people all the time for going above and beyond what the average man or woman would do. With Don's permission (and permission to use appropriate marks), I'd be happy to coordinate certificates and placques for the honorees, if some folks would agree to put up a couple bucks each to defray costs.

(Don, I'd even pay the money up front then send receipts for reimbursement to avoid any possible impropriety.)

- I'd like to see an annual raffle of something ( some donated whatevers ) to raise monies towards the ongoing maintenance costs of this site .

How about making a CD of test tones and other goodies that one can use for setting up, testing and just listening to fine music.

Here's a freely downloadable CD set of test tones, (the contents are listed in the docs somewhere): http://www.4horsemen.net/binkster/

Okay, it's May 22 and we still don't have a plan.

Happy Fifth Anniversary Lansing Heritage!

Happy Fifth Anniversary to the nicest forum ever
I wish all the members to find a forgotten Paragon (replace by other dreamspeaker if necessary) -e.g. in a barn or a yard sale- .

Happy Anniversary. Sent the Forum a little anniversary present.

It's probably fitting that the traditional 5th anniversary gift is wood. No question that all my favorite pieces of wood in the house say "JBL" on them .

Happy Anniversary All !!!!
