    Folks,

    In light of @RayGator's recent passing, I'm reminded life is short for many of us. @GatorGrowl has been with us for a very long time and is an enduring part of Gator Country history.

    I'd like to honor David while he's around so I've renamed Diamond Gators to GatorGrowl's Diamond Gators.

    Thank you Growl for all your years with us and here's to more!

    (bows)
    Ray

    Nicely done, Ray....David's a good guy and huge asset to the forum.

    BTW.....I'd still like to have a "GAME THREAD" prefix to use this coming season, if possible.

    Ideally one of those and also an "SEC GAME THREAD" prefix, so we'd be able to identify each one separately.

    I know you are busy but wanted to remind you before we get into the football season.

    Thanks!

    A banner across the forum headers would be a plus. Or a crawler with announcements like this. Just a suggestion.

    Can we do those with our software, @solari ?

    How about a pop-up every time somebody hits a triple?

    Go GATORS!

    A pop-up isn't going to score anybody from third.

    David, you (and Ray) are the reason why I chose to come here versus going to TOS... I remember when I called and spoke to you in person many times... and you were helpful... kind... and always thoughtful when I needed help. And Ray's email set me on course to be here ever since.

    David... you deserve this honer because you earned it, my friend. :)
