KrisHunt 1584371 I'm sure Steve would be thrilled to see you've misused the site by posting a tribute to him in the form of a fake RFP, despite the fact that there are already two perfectly good threads in the Water Cooler that do just that. 11:25 am 05/Apr/2001 fredgrott 1583741 The memorial to w8rDotcom has been psoted add your bid and comments bid id is: 4924502 10:44 am 05/Apr/2001 stony 1554099 eww 03:08 am 03/Apr/2001 DONMAC 1551362 Bill would become a monk if he was assured the job of running the nunnery. 09:19 pm 02/Apr/2001 DONMAC 1551340 Bill would become a monk if he was assured the job of running the nunnery. 09:17 pm 02/Apr/2001 TreeFrog 1543672 Yeah. that's what I do. I just search out this site name and see what pops up. There's enough stories out there, both good and bad to keep you busy for awhile. 10:16 am 02/Apr/2001 KrisHunt 1543563 Just go to http://www.moreover.com/ and search for "elance", and the Cnet news article will come up. 10:07 am 02/Apr/2001 Aedyn 1535555 Somebody evidently doesn't pay much attention in class. Steve (W8R.COM) joining Select is about as likely as Bill Clinton becoming a monk. Don't think it's gonna happen in this lifetime... 07:13 am 01/Apr/2001 stony 1529480 Looks like the --**-- replaces 0(hyphen)1015(hyphen)205(hyphen)5403533 without the parentheses. Find it hard to believe elance would do such an obvious blockout for new visitors to see but it's cool to se that they aren't being hypocrites either. People are coming here now expecting to see elance covering tracks, and they;re seeing it everytime elance tries to block out links to sites that expose them. 02:20 pm 31/Mar/2001 stony 1529431 uma, you didn't apply for your Select symbol, you paid for it... and if you had any idea who the guy is you'd know he's not a hypocrite. Cute joke though, thinking he would lose his position here, which was nearly 10x your success, put up w8r.com/choice, be featured in a CNN news article at news.cnet.com/news/ --**-- .html?tag=bt_prd and then come back in to join Select. After watching elance clean off their boards these past few days now that reporters are all over the site, I'd think you'd want to show respect for someone who lost quite a bit trying to make this a better place for service providers like you. 02:14 pm 31/Mar/2001 DONMAC 1528696 Steve makes me so proud, I wished he were my son so I could proclaim him to the world. 12:22 pm 31/Mar/2001 uma_d 1528130 Stop mourning, folks. elancers never die. They just get themselves a new username, apply for the Select seal and get themselves a life. 10:18 am 31/Mar/2001 dnixon 1525780 lets all go to steve's site since I understand he's upgrading it... What's the url again? www.w8r.com/choice or something like that? 11:14 pm 30/Mar/2001 pet_tiger 1522884 Steve - you are famous! http://news.cnet.com/news/ --**-- .html?tag=bt_pr - best of luck. 06:03 pm 30/Mar/2001 McLeir 1518209 Hey Steve, I reeeeaally miss you in here. The debates were wild. Hope you find time to visit once in a while and liven this place up. 11:47 am 30/Mar/2001 ArcangelStudios 1514443 w8r - Hope you are having fun in sunny San Diego soaking in the rays... 12:59 am 30/Mar/2001 TreeFrog 1506517 Hey w8r!....see you on the chat boards! 01:17 pm 29/Mar/2001 PureDezine 1484313 Sorry typos!! 11:05 pm 27/Mar/2001 PureDezine 1484274 Steve, Your passion for elance was evident. You sought the solution to better this place for all. I have received my warning for defending you just today. Your banishment is elance loss! Many, including myself, are behind you 110%. Learned so much from your posy that will benifit me in yjr lpmg run. Your wisdom could have helped this site. But, elance is too ignorant to see this. So sorry you will not be here. Whether I agreed or disagreed with you. Your points make a person think. Missig you already! Much success to you! Sincerely, Leslie 11:02 pm 27/Mar/2001 DTPservices 1484020 Steve - I didn't always agree with your opinions, but I'll certainly miss reading them. The cooler will be a less interesting place without you. Good luck. - Christine 10:43 pm 27/Mar/2001 Jow28 1483296 To W8R....Steve.....Oh damn how you ticked me off at times...but you are such a loveable kind of guy....Will miss your ganter...but most of all....will really miss your turtle! ;-) 09:28 pm 27/Mar/2001 mdkelley 1482988 So, how long do you figure this board will last? Maybe we can get it up to the first page! I think this is a fine gift, Aedyn. Perhaps it will do good for elance to see that W8R was respected and not just a rabble rouser! I miss him, and eLance will be a poorer place without his presence. 08:56 pm 27/Mar/2001 Aedyn 1482374 This is a board to share some thoughts about the guy behind the name and what his real mission was. It is not a board for people who have negative comments to share regarding Steve (W8R.COM) or to be used to bash him now that he's gone. Most of us who have been around the Cooler, have grown to respect Steve regardless if we agreed with him 100% of the time. I don't think anyone could question his integrity or his wanting what was best for eLance and its users. Anyway, as a farewell gift from me, I dedicate this board to W8R.COM. :) 08:08 pm 27/Mar/2001
