Hi Sean,

Welcome to the forums, we all will like to know a little more about it.

Nice to have you here Sean.

Thanks
Denny

Thank you for the warm welcome, Denny!

As Denny mentioned, my name is Sean. I'm 24 years old. I'm an honorably discharged military veteren of 5 years.

I have been through a lot financially (between a divorce and separation from military service)...so I have a lot of experiences to share.

I have an extensive background in windows server administration (and some Unix ... Linux & Solaris). The focus of my expertise is on network security. I am also an amature web developer and have hosted a variety of forums and websites in past ventures.

I am also a senior executive member for a webhosting company that invests their time in projects such as these where there is very little (to no) profit and benefit the end user through community support. I think this is an excellent project that I am hoping to get knee deep into and help make it stronger and more productive.

I approached Denny a little while back asking to assist in some way ... and he asked that I start by familiarizing myself with the boards and introducing myself. Now that the introduction is out of the way I can focus on getting to know the community a little better and replying to your concerns.

Thank you all for your time! Smile

lol, thanks Lindsey. Wink

I also wanted to add in my experiences with moderation. I have hosted numerous forums as an administrator for things as small as "clans" (for gaming communities) and as large as a business support forum. I'm extremely familiar with forum permissions, user groups, profiles, backups and restoration, updates/renames, etc. I don't want to turn this into a rant, so I'll leave it at that.

Again, thank you all for the warm welcome! Smile
