Title: To Steve Hours spent
Post by: jeff on January 05, 2015, 10:06:06 pm
Only because I am nosy and also because I am a complete dufus, regarding anything with a computer, could you give me a rough estimate on many hours you put into the new site? Sure is a great improvement, now that I am learning how to navigate.

I'm not Steve, but I have observed him in the wild.....

It wasn't just Foreforums but the underlying forum software that had to be written...  Steve is one of several (volunteer) developers for that (mostly because of creating the original Foreforums)

At least a full-time "job" (yes, at least 8 hours/day) on average for at least the past 2 years just on the new stuff.  Probably more than that because he doesn't take weekends (or evenings) off.  Some days, like the 2 days of the rollout/transition, were more like 16 hours/day.

Thank you both for caring about everything to do with Forefurum.

I had no idea it was that labor intensive.  But then again it takes me two months to figure out a new smart phone!

My goodness!!  We also had no idea it was that involved.  Michelle, please let the "wild man" know how much he is appreciated. And we suspect you have a hand or two in the success of this forum as well.  Thank you both!  And please..bring on that Donate Now button.
