I logged into TWHL to find a wonderful surprise in my inbox from an anonymous poster. I hope he doesn't mind if I share his comments with you all:
Hey Penguinboy,
I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this site going. It's always been a really great resource for me and definitely got me started in my passion for games technology and software in general. I now help lead a game design group at UT Austin and I feel I owe a lot of that to this site and its leaders past and present. Thanks for the quality work!
-JoeDunno about you folks, but this kind of stuff makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. This is why I (and possibly other admins) feel so strongly about keeping TWHL and it's valuable resources and community alive.
Because Joe didn't leave a reply email, I'd just like to say: Thank you, Joe. I'm glad TWHL has helped you, and I hope that we can continue to help people like you for the foreseeable future!
Time for a group hug!
Oh, and
the results are up.
That made me feel great too. ^_^
I'll bet you enjoyed the summer in Austin, Joe. I was down there for a while and I was swimming in a swamp the whole time.
Well, it wouldn't be TWHL without the Steam related game loving community.
No but seriously, I had a really, really shitty day yesterday and today just started off right.

Okay, maybe not. But he's right, TWHL is awesome.
May GoldSource and Half-Life live long and still prosper!
I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have warmth-inside-cancer. You only have a couple of days left.
