my tag is Triple_Strum, but my name is Russell. I've been on NS for three years now - member 20K something. I am not the oldest vet, but I have enjoyed NS as much as anyone over the past three years, and hopefully contributed a bit as well.

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks to the guys who were the original nerds who started this site and keep it running day after day. I have posted pics, a couple of videos (anyone remember my tandem-ski?), bought and sold a lot of things, and learned lots about skiing and ski equipment in the meantime. It has been a fun release from being serious (I am an 8th grade teacher - stress comes quickly and in large quantities :) It has provided me with gear and information I could have never found elsewhere considering I live in Virginia. So, if NS has been good to you, say so here. This is not the place for comments about what could be improved or things that annoy you or comments towards anyone else, but simply thanking the people who run the site and encouraging them to keep up the good work. Let's have positive posts like this make it to 5 or 6 pages instead of battles and arguments. Thanks NS, Bishop, Harvey, cko, and the rest of the people that got is started and keep it going.

nah man, they are great - you just have to get used to them. After all, you were one once. Take one skiing instead of smacking him :)

I live in atlanta. There are only a few people I can share my passion with skiing, but I can always come to NS to meet and talk to other people. I've learned most of everything I know about skiing through NS. I thank Harvey, Bishop, cko, and everyone for making this the best website ever.

Well I won't go on a whole ranting rampage about how great NS really is, but lemme tell you, it's a relief to know there are so many other people in the world that are similar to yourself.  Just when you think your ideas and designs are unique, you can find out 5 other kids already had thought of it and gone through with it.  I could've sworn I was the only kid who jumped and spun off of curbs and ledges, and then I found out I wasn't alone.

NS has so much to offer, including it's members, and I only think it's fair that I thank you Triple_Strum, as well as everyone else who has been helpful over the years.  There is no other place I would go to if I needed information on skiing products, or even non-skiing related subjects. 

I wish I had more time to type more, but to put it simply Newschoolers.com = Happiness

Thanks

i couldn't agree with you more. just having NS makes you feel connected to something. especially in the summer when you are out with your friends and you bring up winter and how great its gonna be and they look at you like you're crazy. newschoolers is always there to help you remember that there are thousands of people out there thinking just like you and can't wait to hit that new line or try something they've never done. newschoolers is not just procrastination for a paper thats due in 10 hours or something to do when you are bored. its there to connect thousands of people who never would know each other without it.

so thanks to all the creators and people who come back to this site who've made my short stay here great

NS pretty much owns the world wide web. Yeah this is like what i do when i've got nothing to do... or when i have things i should be doing (research papers, projects, etc...)

Keep up the good work!
