D appreciation thread...

No, this is not about our Leos' defense.

It's just an off-season "thank you" to D for keeping this great site going so we can talk Lions and CFL football. So many insightful and intelligent posters on here. I continually learn more by coming here.

Much appreciated, D. :rockin:

Re: D appreciation thread...

I'll second that. I've been here for over 20 years. Lionbackers is my football home and the first place I check for Lions' news and information 24 hours a day, 12 months a year. Thanks you, D, for keeping this site going even after moving across the country. What are you up to these days?

'Amen' to what the fellows have said. Thanks D. for making it happen and keeping it going. I often marvel at the fact that I'm so lucky to have stumbled upon Lionbackers back some years ago--I'm guessing about a decade ago now. So much pleasure added to following the Lions for being able to participate in the ongoing conversations on Lionbackers and a chance to learn so much from my fellow fans, and be roundly entertained by many knowledgeable, witty and colourful characters! All thanks to the mystery magic-man behind it all! Hats off to you.

Couldn't agree more. And especially with the reduction in local media over the years, this site becomes more and more important to get my Lions fix. Thank you, thank you!

Great site and forum, Derek! :rockin: :beauty:
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你蛇年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Re: D appreciation thread...

I too very much appreciate what D has done with this site.

This and 3 Down Nation are my go to sites.

I prefer a quick read over TSN looking for a video.

100% agree. Thanks D.
I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time". So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

Re: D appreciation thread...

This is one of the best sites around and it starts at the top. Mostly civil exchanges, a firm but just hand in the moderation and overall all just a great reflection of the person who created it. Well done and thank you.
