    Its been one year since I installed this new message board and posted the first message at 11:56pm on March 8, 2002!

    I would like to thank the members who contributed towards the purchase of Vbulletin, which is superior to the old message boards that I was using. 17 people contributed ~$190.00 which covered the cost of the board($160.00) and the $30.00 that was left over went towards another year of technical support and upgrades which is valid until March 2004.

    Here are some statistics from the past year:

    It is a great board! Thank you for the vision to get it up for us to share. I don't post as often as I would like to, I have so much going on and nothing is getting done so I don't post about it until I have something to show, BUT I try to satisfy that monkey on my back by checking out the board daily. Thanks to everyone out there for making this a family of sorts on our little piece of the web.

    Thanks, Stefan. It is awesome. Thanks for creating a place to get Mav/Comet owners together to talk about their projects. Without this resource, I would have taken a lot longer to be almost finished with my project. Thanks again.

    Thanks stefan--without this board many of us wouldn't have anything to do AT work :)

    Pulling people together like this has probably done more for the mavericks than anything else to date.

    Together we are all making a car legendary and preserving it permanently

    Wish I had a job where all I had to do all day is surf the internet. You guys hiring? I'm getting too old for this physical labor stuff.

    If anyone would like to contribute for another year of support(2004 - 2005), you can send me money through Paypal, check or money order. It would help me out as I currently have no source of income. Support is $30.00 a year, but I would like to collect a bit more as there are always fees to pay. You can use maverick@maverick.to for Paypal or send me an email for my snail mail address. Thank you.

    I'd like to thank Tom who sent me $20.00 towards another year of tech support for the board.

    If anyone else wants to contribute, please send me an e-mail for my address or you can use maverick@maverick.to for Paypal. Thanks :)
