I have been out of the CONUS for the past month or so and just saw this.

Thanks to Para and others for having the foresight to continue to offer this site up for us. It has truly become a place for social discourse and the single best place to get pertinent information about the world we live in...

Very classy and worthy of respect, the whole affair.

Wishing you all the best in your recovery and thank you for what you have done and continue to do.
Looking forward to the continuation of this forum with LDD at the wheel. Thanks.

Haven't posted much the last 10 years (raising kids keeping me busy). I check in on occasion though and glad to hear there is a plan. Para, hope you and lbj are doing well.

Thanks to all for the kind words and well wishes. I'm bringing this thread back to the top for our less frequent visitors.

Sigforum is the only place I spend internet time on. Thank you for making this place the way it is.

Thank you for not being a sellout and get well soon.

It's been 3 or 4 years since I've wandered about some other gun forums,
so,
I researched some rifle and brand name pistol web sites

O.m.g.

The ratio of quality information / discussion to ad's seems to hover
right around
40% quality info/ discussion to
40% ad's


With 20 additional % being non sense

We regulars are spoiled ,
I can't imagine sifting
through all that mess and
Nonsense to pass the time and learn.

Evedently there must be some healthy income involved in
Renting space on an internet forum.

( Based on the tsunami of ads on a dozen other gun forum's )

I think everyone should check out what there is to offer out there forum-wise. We are so fortunate to have a GREAT place here with SOLID leaders to keep this going with the same and growing quality. I am in full support. Thanks Para!

Yep, still the best corner of the interwebs. Glad it will remain so!

Glad to hear you're on the mend boss!

Thanks Para for safeguarding this place. Thanks LDD for your current and future leadership.

Thank you for the update...also, after checking out your Dear Diary post, we are certainly praying for your continued healing and health.

This was getting to the bottom of the first page so...

Thanks for this information. Good to know the forum will be here for future generations.

My best wishes to you,Para, and to all who make this forum the best. Although I don’t post a lot, I am on this site daily for news, updates, and verification of what I have been reading other places -WSJ, Hillsdale pubs, etc.
If I can help financially, I’d be happy to do so. Regards to all.

Thanks, Para. This is the best forum I have ever found, and very much appreciated. Glad you are taking care of yourself, and the forum for us.

To Para, LBJ, LDD and all the moderators. Thank you for all you have done. This is truly the greatest forum on the internet. It's not just a gun forum, it's a life forum.

I've learned so much here over the years that words can't express it. I'm on this site several times a day, everyday. It's often the first place I visit when I start my browser.

Words can't express my gratitude but I will try with a simple "Thank you" and "You guys are the best".

Cheers!

Ditto sigarms...I’ve learned tons via this forum. I don’t “do” FaceBook...my wife says that this forum is my FaceBook.
Example...
Me: I want a sous vide cooker for Fathers’ Day
Her: Where did you learn about sous vide cooking?
Me: SIGforum
Her: Ahhhh, cool, your gun FaceBook

Thanks the status update, and the foresight to plan for the future. Y’all have worked hard and with justifiable pride to make Sigforum a very neat place to visit and be a part of.
Thanks again!

Oh my.
I managed to miss this thread till earlier today. I have not read everything yet, so pardon if I am missing something.
Very best wishes to you, Para. I hope you are doing well and am grateful for your forward planning.
I can't say it any better than others. This is absolutely the best spot on the internet. I saw in one entry that you aren't looking for sponsorship yet (?), but if that is incorrect or changes, sign me up.
The forum's format, its conscientious oversight by the Mods, its remarkably reasonable tone, its wealth of information, and bright, funny, generous members are truly a treasure.
Thank you all.
