OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums General Discussion Forum Events - Past & Present Merry Christmas for 2016

Hello Bruce, Mods and Members

I wish all a happy and festive Christmas for 2016.
It would be difficult to argue that 2016 was a great year for the World ...
but then again, neither was 1916.

I have come even stronger to believe in the ODK forum format,
in a world of abbreviated social media, where LMAO and LOL and
emoticons reign supreme. It's all a bit false ...



I feel ODK is committed to the forum format - because it can deliver
more in-depth observation, commentary and analysis. It encourages
thoughtful posts, rather than stream-of-consciousness one liners.

This takes nothing away from other formats. In fact, Member Kye runs
a very successful Buy, Swap and Sell Facebook page. Some discoveries
have been made there, that have not surfaced here. We simply do
different things and engage different clientele.

The ODK forums are as busy as ever, but there is a clear change
in the popularity of some, and the decline of others. Like the
Robert Frost poem, nothing gold can stay...

The new success stories must be the Lawn Care and Greenfield forums.
Many thanks to the folks that define those territories.

We are as sure as ever that these forums be led by members.
I am so impressed by members who have 'given-back' over many years.
We have had amazing help this year - from folks far away ... from
Tasmania to Tennessee. The reality is, ODK is mainly a transient
group of forums - with most folk coming for a single purpose and
then leaving.

We personally thank the specialist members who have frequented the
forums this year, giving quality, expert advice time and time again.
I won't single out members - you know who you are. Thank You!

A big thank you to the man they call Bruce for ODK. His vision,
decades ago, has built up a huge cache of valuable repair information.

A big thank you to the Moderators who oversee ODK. We do not
intrude unless we have something to say, or have something to do.
Sincere thanks to Doug, Manfred and Theo.

All the way with ODK.

Merry Christmas one and all!

Thanks to all the Moderators for the hours spent helping and informing us all. And thanks everyone for the pleasant hours spent within these pages.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everybody and I hope your mowers keep mowing

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas ! to all the Outdoorking Forum Members and a "Happy New Year"

Also I totally concur with Jacks comments above and couldn't have said it better myself.

Cheers,
BB.

BTW thanks "prd" for your kind words, it's been an absolute pleasure.

Merry Christmas to all, it's been raining up here all week so the grass will need mowing!

enjoy :-)

Merry Christmas one and all. I too would like to thanks the many friends here for all their good advice, conversations and the many conversations I have read and learnt from. All the best for the new year one and all and may it be filed with just the right amount of mowers.
Like Jack, I appreciate how those folk around here can spell and exercise a lack of the crappy short hand. It is a pleasure to be here amongst like minded folk and though many of us have never met I believe just about any of us could meet in person and have a yarn over a refreshment or two.

may i add my Christmas wishes to all, and may we all mow / fix
collect or restore into 2017
cheers, Pete
