This past monday marked the retirement of a TPS legend. SteveAllison pulled anchor and sailed out in search of new and different challenges. Steve started his adventure at TPS in May of 2009. Steve worked furiously in the News and Debates section bringing many topics of interest to the table as a Topic Starter. His contributions were not measured in the dozens but by the hundreds. Within 27 days Steve’s energy and enthusiasm lead him to a moderator promotion where he took on the daily tasks of forum moderation as well as reviving a dead forum that was at one time a special feature…the Joke of the Week/Month. Steve capitalized on the project by not only returning it to life but turning it into a consistently participated event lasting over six months. In July of 2009 staff recognized Steve’s “Full Ahead” energy and promoted to Administrator where Steve proved to be inspirational in the creation of the site’s blog creation. Steve was able to rational the ultimate winning solution and provided the “way ahead” for this project. Now tasked with administrative duties Steve divided his time between his special projects and the daily bombardment of administrative politics. With hardly a nail in our ship that Steve has not had his hammer on, we raise our flag to SteveAllison, and hope we always have a positive reflection in his eyeglass. We are where we are today, because you were where you were yesterday. It’s something our THANKS button never represented enough.
From the place you’ve called home, we expect you to always moor up here Steve…
