Just to make it perfectly clear, there are quite a number who have come here (and keep coming back) to get top drawer assistance in getting their system / network / DC project of choice set up and running with the highest efficiency and then take that which they have received from us to a competing team and use it against us.
This is what I call "bad".
Using people for selfish gain, or using their resources to cause them any harm is just bad. I can't think of any better word for that kind of treatment. Nobody likes to feel used that way.
Everyone has choices to make, I for one have chosen to be more careful about who I help with their Seti / computer / networking etc... due to having spent too much time working with people who turn out to have been other than true blue TeAmmates.
Of course this TeAm wouldn't be the great TeAm it is without the tireless efforts of a few who give of their time and resources.
There are those who donate money, commercial server space, stats upkeeping, back end programming, tech support, scripting, and more. All of which is extremely valuable and should be mentiond more often. I know of people on this TeAm who have truly given until it hurt. It's not all about the WU's. It's about loyalty, honor, devotion and trust. These are virtues that too many seem to be lacking these days, but many of the great people here obviously have in abundance.
The vast majority of members feel they are doing all they can by installing a DC client and joining up with the TeAm.
That's all most members can give. Bravo! Without this we would be a very small and insignificant group.
Those that actively produce any WU's for the TeAm should always be made to feel appreciated.
Those who produce for the TeAm and participate here or in the offsite forum are even more appreciated, that participation makes this a lively and attractive place to come and spend time.
Joy is infectious, when it is thought of as a fun and happy place more people will come and spend time here and want to participate.
Then there are the few who want to really make a difference and do more. They may have to take more time out of their lives to give it to the TeAm, but it's a sacrifice gladly made.
Some of them run a daily set of stats for us, some run new member services, some give their time and energy to recruitment, some provide the forums we use and other server resources. There are many I have not mentioned, you know who you are and what you do. Without you this would not be the great TeAm it is - you truly do make a positive impact here.
Thank You!
