found in the old thread:
I'm pleased to bring you the return of this thread. OP has been updated, thanks for flying Un.
Turned off for three months? No explanation? And we are expected to come rushing back? No Sir!
In my mind, this is now the official UNO thread. Falling Knife bust his a** for the last several months. I have no doubt about his commitment to UNO. As I see it, he is THE leader of the UNO community. Unless he tells me otherwise, as Tony Soprano used to say, that old thread is "dead to me".
I'm very happy that Blazr2 has re-opened the thread, and I'm thrilled that he is still interested in the UNO community. I've been chatting with him quite a bit recently. Blazr has been really a great guy to talk with, and I can tell he's very pleased with what the community has been able to accomplish these past few months. He re-opened the thread as a favor to me after I asked if we could update the OP info. I think we'll probably close that thread gracefully at some point, and re-direct people to this thread (or vice versa... doesn't matter to me, as long as we have a good place to chat about UNO and organize).
He had his reasons for closing the launch thread. In some stories he shared last week with me, I could tell he wasn't pleased with how things progressed after Wolong. I don't hold it against him at all. It was time for the community to step up anyway.
I appreciate the re-opening the launch thread and updating the OP. I'm glad for his cooperation and his interest in UNO. He's UNO's founder! Let's welcome him back with a big sloppy kiss on the cheek.
Okay FK, thank you for that info. I feel a lot better now. I'll participate in both threads until we consolidate, and to Blazr2:
