As I'm newer to the forum to the rest of ya'll, as I joined this year, but I can tell some people were great members of the forum when I used to be a guest and deep delve into the forum.

So I'm going to list a couple of those people I have read about:

I think I will keep editing this post as I delve deeper into the forum to learn more and such.
