Thanks Brian, Thanks Mods

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I thought I'd start a separate thank you thread as BF net undergoes changes. I am looking forward to seeing how the site moves forward and appreciate Brock's transparency and time in terms of announcing the shift in ownership.

 

Here, though, I just want to say thank you Brian and everyone involved in the last what? 20 years of Brewers' baseball? Through all kinds of bad teams, a cathartic renaissance, a fun rebuild, and now a sustained period of contention, this has been my favorite place to talk baseball. More than that, it's become my favorite place on the internet period. I always look forward to the board's reaction to Bucks, Packers, Badgers, and yeah, international soccer news. All of the people involved really did build a place featuring good discussion and also often really good writing. Some of y'all could write for Fangraphs, and having this place has been a real gift. So. Yeah. Thanks, Brian. Thanks, Mods. I know y'all brought a lot of joy to people's daily lives, and I know it took a lot of often unseen work.

 

Thanks.

I completely agree. Thanks to Brian, the moderators, and to all of you that have contributed to this site. You have made it a great place to talk Brewers baseball. I've been following the Brewers for 40 years and I love to follow the young prospects coming up through the minors.

This place allows me to do that and to talk to others with similar interests. I don't know anyone in person that can get geeky like me talking about stats of some low A minors prospect that falls in my 50-75 spot on my prospect list. Hence my username. Thanks again Brian!

One of the best sites around hope they keep most of the forums

Yes, thanks Brian for creating this haven for Brewers fans. Making it a haven for passionate, yet intelligent discussions. Good enough to even catch the eye of a Brewers radio announcer.

 

And thanks to the mods for keeping this place under control and not allowing it to become the usual troll-filled cesspool that so often happens on the internet.

Absolutely; thanks so much to Brian for building this site. Thanks also for keeping it going all these years. Someone, somewhere must have been paying web hosting fees to keep this place running; it is much appreciated.

 

Thanks also to Patrick, aka Colbyjack, for all the site design. I still remember those Brewerfan t shirts with the all time Brewerfan roster on the back.

 

Thanks also to Mass Haas (Jim, I think?) for all the thoughtful content. Your work could be it's own website; it's that good.

 

And thanks to the original group of posters from back in the early 2000's. There's Katulu, Al The Thinking Man, Great Legs, Pogokat, AJAY, Clancyphile, GenoSeligPrieb, Big Reed, Foamboy, Battlecow, Peavey Fury; along with many others. A great bunch of folks to talk baseball with. (I posted under the username Anton358 at the time.)

 

Bottom line is that Brewerfan.net makes Brewers baseball better. Thanks to everyone who had a role in bringing this site to existence.
