    You will be missed Steve. I could always count on you...

    All the best to you, and to your family.

        Hmm yes I've just realised.

        I started this thread in the Licensed Customer Feedback forum. So unlicensed members won't be able to post showing their appreciation of Steve's work.

        Therefore.....

          Steve was here when I was brand new to vBulletin and every question I searched out, he had answered. He was my vB God - he knew everything! Then, I was lucky enough to be part of Staff and work with him on a daily basis. He's taught me a lot and made doing support a fun job (yes, really!). I'm going to miss him like crazy! But good luck, Steve! Enjoy your time off and relax for a bit!

            All of this is very true. Steve was always there to help us and lead us the right way. He was the best boss I could have asked for. Its just not going to be the same without him.

              Steve, you will be missed. You built the support structure to what it is today and helped many people in the process. Good Luck in the future.

                  My best wishes to you and yours - I'm sure we'll stay in touch.

                  Thanks to everyone, and especially the vB Support Staff. I truly believe that you are the finest Support Team I have ever known. You are all are a significant part of any success vB has had over the years, and it was my distinct honor and privilege serving with you all . I will miss you terribly, but I'm also sure you'll do fine without me.

                    Wow... just... wow. Steve has been a VB fixture here forever and a positive force and excellent representative and diplomat. When I had a few issues that needed remedying, he was the first to make sure that the right thing was done and I'm sure many others here can report the same positive experiences. Fare well Steve. Your presence will most certainly be missed greatly. Look forward and hoping to cross paths with you on the outside... and take more of those *incredible* pictures with the time!

                      Wow, one of the originals. Thanks for all your hard work Steve!

                      btw, I didn't know you were a Nikon Photographer. Give my Nikon site a look when you get a chance, you'll enjoy the people there.

                            Thank You Based God.

                            Steve contributed absolutely nothing in the threads I posted. Surprised he was actually getting paid.
