It may actually be time for a Peakoil.com history thread!
The site owner is Dan, handle "admin". He saw PO coming, registered the site, and has maintained the community po portal vision all the way through. We are all happy for Dan's vision and continued commitment. Dan doesn't post much but he's back there paying the bills and keeping the ship afloat
The site was developed in conjunction with Aaron, handle "aaron" our favorite 800 lb. gorilla. Aaron is a do-all kind of guy, and continues to keep the code pasted together and bandwidth nice and wide.
Monte, handle "MonteQuest" is our PO prophet extraordinaire, and spent countless hours at the beginning setting up forums and producing massive amounts of great content and defending same through countless hours of early debate when we were just a few that were paying attention to the math and the opposing arguments still had some credibility.
Monte administered the forums for a couple years before handing it off to Shannon, AKA shannymara, who now carries the tag "semi-retired admin" because we won't let her off the hook completely.
I'm the latest forum admin. My name is Mike Donovan, thus my handle "MD" I wear the tag "community manager" which essentially means I'm the town sheriff, so keep your noses clean, pilgrims!
another Mike, "pops" has also put countless hours into content building over in the Planning For The Future forum
Then we have the moderating team, which is a list of about twenty folks that have agreed to volunteer their time to help keep us marching forward in a semi-orderly fashion.
I could go on and on about news editors, other contributors, and such, but I'll leave it to others to toot those horns.
You know who you are, and if I didn't mention you by name, it's because I don't have the hours it would take to type it all out right now!
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.
Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.
