While I didn't say that either you or Jim use it, there are certainly some
board owners who do. Of course I used to run the servers and serve as
essentially the CIO they for one of the bigger boards, so it
makes sense they'd use my software.
Since you brought up you or Jim using it, though, you may wish to check with
Jim before you post again saying he doesn't use Strongbox.
I could very well be wrong, but I think he has a few sites using it.

Wow, I wouldn't be too suprised to hear that from some people, but
am
suprised to hear it from you. I know you've done a lot to get where you are
today, and one of the things you did from very early on was run a very clean,
efficient link site where you put a lot of effort into meeting the needs of
both surfers and webmasters. I can remember quite a few threads on the
old boards talking about how to get traffic, with webmasters mentioning
your site in probably thousands of posts. One thread from probably 1998
or 1999 still sticks out where people where saying that while both you
and Persian Kitty could send huge amounts of traffic, you were much
more pleasant to deal with. I have to think that the thousands of posts
webmasters made back in the late 90s have been very, very good to you,
along with of course everything else you've done to get your name out
to webmasters. The same thing still with this board, of course, though
perhaps less so - new webmasters hear about your board through word
of mouth. I would have thought that someone who has benefitted so
greatly from webmasters mentioning his site to other webmasters wouldn't
be so violently opposed to the concept. Maybe you're just in a funky mood,
who knows.
