Great to see so many new newcomers to the site and several well known faces! Welcome!
To all the new migrants, I have been following the RIP thread on Epic and all the wailing and gnashing of teeth as to why it is closing down. Please remember it does cost $ to run the site. Sustainability is not just a feel-good term that just "happens" as so well demonstrated by the demise of Epicski.
Please do not underestimate the amount of personal sweat, equity, risk and sacrifice Phil and Tricia have personally put into establishing this site. It is terrific to see the traffic numbers increasing but this brings additional pressures (and $) to increase bandwidth on the site among other things which puts greater pressure on cashflow in the short term.
I believe @Monique mentioned it in another thread but please consider helping to keep this community thriving and growing by hitting the button at

Doesn't matter what amount, it all helps ensure the continued success. P&T may not feel right about making this ask personally but, as a business person I am very aware of the immediate impacts (even though they are very positive for the long term) and, as a salesman, I am never shy about asking for commitments!
Thank you! and welcome
