I guess I've watched the LbNA site get better and better over the years. Talk about a pain in the posterior... what about the site before you could enter your own boxes and had to wait for one of the incredibly generous webmasters to enter them for you? Sometimes we had to wait for weeks for them to appear on the map. Then, if you wanted to edit them... wait again! What about when there was no way to search for boxes at all? You could search the Talk List archives if you wanted.

This latest update apparently has all kinds of techno stuff involved that I do not understand at all, geek stuff we never see. The addition of the found function is something that has met with great debate over the years. One of the things that I think is wonderful is the ability to turn it off at the new LbNA site for those who don't care to have it on their clues. I am fine with having those dates listed on my clues but anyone who objects to a found listing is out of luck at Atlas Quest.

I think Ryan has created a terrific website for us with all kinds of cool bells and whistles. However, he has the luxury of not having a full time job and can respond to our every whim at almost a moment's notice... if he isn't off galavanting around Central America, that is. Yesterday, when the update function wasn't working, an email to John/Choi got equally swift service.

Incidentally, the front page of the LbNA site is the work of Mitch Klink/Der Mad Stamper. I also think that Wes, with his upcoming nuptials and tumultuous family life, is less involved in the current update. Other webmasters are carrying the baton. I know it was meant as a joke to imply that they needed Ryan's help at LbNA but it seemed to me a bit hurtful to those who have done sooooo much work over there.

Hey Funhog,

I loved telling the story of days gone by around the campfire at the TX gathering. I do agree things have gotten 1000 times better since the 'good' old days and didn't want to put any of the LbNA webmasters down. I can't even manage my simple little web page with an update once a month so I can't imagine keeping up with a site like LbNA or AQ. I will always stand by the original clue site even with it's little imperfections. So to all the past present and future LbNA WM thanks and keep up the good work.
