Without rehashing everyone else's comments, congratulations indeed and a most deserving win. It is an honour to be part of the forum and yes, at times, it feels as if it has taken over my life since I joined up but you get no complaints from me (maybe the family but not me) It is not only board members and their families that enjoy the forum, I have friends that log on and check the trip reports whenever I go out because they like to see the fun we have. I am always showing friends the forum whenever they are over and they just love it as well, even the ones that are not really into cars. It is a credit to you Jalal that this board is so fantastic in content, well ordered and controlled. The time and dedication required to bring about such a great result is reminiscent of the dedication required by an olympic athlete. I suppose the last five years for you has been like having another child. As with all children they need nurturing, loving, dedication and discipline. It is time to stand tall and proud of the fact that you have been the guide that has gotten it (the forum) to this place. Congratulations firstly to you, then Noel and finally the members for allowing me to be part of this momentus occasion. Take a bow each and everyone! nondisclosed_email@example.com (BlackThunda)Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:22:14 +0000 Re: ***Vote for your Board.

I have moved all the old topics out and have restarted The Directory Showcase totally fresh and clean with your board as the first entry here.

Now since we all helped with this I know for sure there is one more dream we as members can help with and this one we all can get together and celebrate this momentous victory of the win of the runboard of the year and that is the national get together.

I think Jalal, it is we (the ever-grateful members) that should be saluting you . For without your tireless dedication, patience, knowledge and understanding, none of this would mean very much - it would just be another car forum of interested people. What I see occurring here, is a(n international) community of like-minded enthusiasts, who have a genuine respect for the admin team, as well as the other members. What a great community to be associated with! If it were not for this forum and the manner in which it is run, I would not have purchased my exy. Nor would I have made such good friends (through forum coordinated events). This site has changed my life! (and how appropriate to win this prestigious award on the eve of Australia Day?

Now to the official announcement from the Admin Team of the Australian X-Trail Forum: Dear Members of Australian X-Trail Forum, I will start by saying that my dream has come true!! That is how important this win was for me personally. Secondly, we couldn't have done it without you our dear members, and without the 70 (excluding myself and Noel) members who made the actual difference, responded to the call and request of help from me and took part in this historic event for the forum to achieve the most prestigious title in the Runboard community. I salute you guys and you have made me feel so proud. To the many of you members of our forum who kept sending me emails thanking us for the existence of this forum and how you ever could reward and re-pay us for such a service, you have just done it and this is exactly the reward I had in mind, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, you really presented us with the best gift there is and the efforts we have put into this forum for the last 5 years or so have just been rewarded. This is a true reflection of team-work, mateship and helping each other out and it something that is not strange to the Australian community at all, but in our case it was expanded to included MANY international members of our community who took part in this competition and made a world of difference to their forum.
