Happy Birthday to....us!
Tomorrow, April 4th, Audioshark celebrates its fourth anniversary. I want to thank all of you and especially Joe and Mark (the mods!) for all their help and support. Audioshark members are what makes it so much fun to hang out here. I hope, like me, you have all had an opportunity to meet some wonderful people here on AS.
Take a bow! Audioshark is great because of all of you. Thank you!

Re: Happy Birthday to....us!
That's funny, because I was thinking only yesterday of posting a thread to thank the 'unsung heros' of Audioshark (namely Mike, Mark and Joe) for making this such a fun, friendly, helpful & informative community .
Speaking of which, It must take a lot of effort behind the scenes to make everything run as smoothly as it does, and yet Mike and his hard-working mods do all this without imposing a membership fee. But of course running a forum this large/professional isn't cheap, so folks please check out the Sponsors box in the top RH corner when you drop into the forum. Those businesses are helping support this wonderful community! .
