Well I am glad to hear that you have found solace in a community, even better to hear that it is EHW. I know just how important it is to be part of something, but especially if their are obstacles and curveballs that life tends to throw. It can be therapeutic having an escape and others to confide in. Yes, one of thee goals here was to have minimal scripts and tracking running on the site, it is a massive turn off to many, especially those in the I.T field with a better understanding of just what those scripts and trackers are doing. These days you cannot be ZERO tracked, that would be a fools errand, but you can certainly minimize it.
Kind words, thank you. The mission from day one was to get that Vibe back from the good old days that I had been missing. It was not enough to have wonderful content and information, there has to be a form of continuity between members, that coming together community feel. Once EHW had got more on its feet, I definitely started to get that vibe back and it is that vibe that drives the passion! If you are not passionate about something, unless there is a reason to be there, you probably shouldn't.
Fairly sure they call that solidarity @Andrew
It is wonderful to see some new faces here. It is always a privilege to have new people in the community. If anyone who is new here has any questions about the site and the EHW community, please feel free to ask. I know joining anything new can be a little jarring at first, happy to ease everyone in Furthermore, thank you for the kind words from all. Together we can make EHW great, its all down to the community and I have faith we will all do great things!
My "Retirement" from OCN I think was needed to allow me to focus on more important projects, which ultimately is just EHW. It comes at a large financial penalty to myself, but that is how life rolls sometimes, you move forward and look for other opportunities!
Everyone feel free to spread the word, bring your friends and lets grow this family!
