2009 President & Vice President Nominations

Allan, that is a terrific quote. I look up to Ace and I think the majority of us do. Just the insane amount of patience and tact he has shines through in every comment. He's the most stand up guy you will ever meet.

Then there's Eve. Ahhh Eve. Just as patient, very pleasant, never has a bad thing to say.

Y'all got my vote.

So how is this going to work this year? Will this be the same, an online vote, or are we actually going to have to go to a meeting to vote? Let us know so we can show our support.

I've known Ace longer than I've known anyone else on here, and in all that time (both here and on forums that no longer exist), I can't once think of an occasion that this isn't true. Always happy to help, even when its someone who was a loose acquaintance at best, whom you haven't spoken to in 2-3 years (guilty as charged... thanks again Ace)... I can't think of anyone better suited for a position of power, who can without a doubt be trusted to not abuse it.

I have declined my nomination.

I have been visiting this site for the past 5 years about every month. I have to say I have been watching from outside of the circle. Bigbird has been GREAT. It's sad to see certain members using this forum just to make a buck or buy something six months ago from someone else and sell it for more after it grows or they refurbish the item to sell for more. 5 years ago this site was more about information and guidence for the baby reefer and the REEFER. I hope to see ACE and EVE in place. Bigbird has moved this forum back to what was intended. I would like to see ACE and EVE take it to another level.

Sorry to hear that Cheri. Your hard work, dedication, honesty and loyalty would have been a good asset for this club.

Let me start by saying I think the two nominees (Eve and Ace) are fully qualified and I trust in their abilities. I don't intend in anyway to imply anything negative about them.What are we trying to do when we decline/step down from nominations? I don't think anybody would get upset if they ran against a friend. Let's have an election people! Let this be as fun as it is serious and give MAAST some options lol.
