For those of you like me that seldom look at the forums past Chat-o-rama, Baker put up a thread a few days ago about Quakeone.com's 5th year!

Solecord and Yellow No. 5 were the backbone of getting this site started. In fact, lost in history is I was AWOL for about 5 months until getting an emergency email from Yellow No. 5 saying essentially "we need to get this site up and going now. Singed.Net just shut down." And the site still needed some work, but I did my pimping thing and did it very, very hard and then did it very, very harder and then did it to the extreme

And people like Mindzfield, Bam and Zop were instrumental moral support factors BEFORE the site was started (it took nearly a whole year before the site launched. Solecord scrapped prototypes a couple of times. A couple because they could not handle very many visitors at the same time. And there was occasionally a bit of mild "arguing" -- like a couple of times Yellow and I didn't agree.)

And of course it is very important to note that R00k and Qrack were critically important.

But after the site started, it was the community that carried the ball. No one person really makes that much of a difference in the scheme of things. It is people in the community again and again and again, stepping up to the plate. Way too many people to mention, I could start typing 50 names and the list would be WAY incomplete. That's what a great community we have here.
