board members and board memberettes and a those in between,
there are many different opinions on this board, but i believe one thing we all can agree on is this: there is a member, a trusted admin that has given this board something most other boards don't have: a reason to come back. how many of us started lurking around - probably a little intimidated by the many rooms, the threads, and let's face it - sloane. genchat was probably the first place we went. and one of the first threads we saw was what? the weekly contest, where if we were clever enough we could win - free of charge - three dvds of available MST3K's.
have you ever thought about it? skyroniter gets three dvds out almost every week of the year. my laziness knows no limits, so i myself cannot imagine going to such trouble for a bunch of dinks. i say that, knowing full well i am a dink myself.
just like my laziness, sky's generosity knows no limits in helping out everyone on our little board. when the group project of a few getting together to attempt to riff santa claus vs. the bunny came to life, sky immediately put copies of the nefarious dvd in the mail to all who were delusional enough to want to see it through with no charge. i watched it and just as immediately jumped ship. i offered to send it back to sky, but he told me to keep it. i'm not sure if that was sky's typical generosity or hidden cruelty, but he basically wasted a disc on me. when i read his review of guy from harlem last year, i HAD to see it, but he turned down my offer to pay him for a copy and put not one, but two copies in the mail to me right away for both me and callipygias. now it's one of our favorite movies.
he has never hesitated to help our friends abroad to get dvds that were otherwise unavailable to them. and aside from being funny as hell, he is an all around good egg. this board would not be the same without him, and we would probably not have nearly as many members as we do if it were not for him.
one of sky's biggest fans put an idea into motion that has grown to result in a gift for skyroniter for christmas (and somewhat tardy birthday gift) that comes from all board members that were able to give what they could to present a gift certificate to rifftrax in the amount of over $200.00. we broke into our piggy banks, dug under couch cushions and some of us did unspeakable acts to cough up a few bucks to make this happen.
here are the the members who were able to sneak $ out of mom's purse:
mrsphyllistorgo
Mitchell
mst3ktemple
Captain Hygiene
Scotty
Solgroupie
callipygias
mr meadows
Mr. Atari
Hellcat
Tor Johnson
mj
Dave Walker
Ometiklon
Frameous

dph
mummi
chuck *a mishap thru paypal occured and it went unnoticed that chuck contributed to this until recently - sorry, chuck and thank you!
there are many more who contributed...spiritually. the ones who couldn't but sorely wanted to deserve to be included.
so, skyroniter, we wish you a very merry christmas and happy new year! and we thank you for the time and effort you provide without complaint to keep this board the second home it is for MANY of us.
