Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is standing in front of us. Both of these holidays remind us of how much we have to be thankful for. The moderators of the HazzardNet aren't eligible to receive the Fan of the Month award and since Santa is watching we're not going to break the rules. We are going to bend them a little by saving the best for last and designating the final month of the year as a time to honor our moderators. Meadowmufn, MaryAnne and Brian are like parents to us. If it weren't for them we wouldn't exist. We might not owe them our physical lives but we certainly owe them thanks for giving us a very important part of our lives.....the part where we come together as a family to honor and pay tribute to the greatest show to ever grace a television. The HazzardNet has been around for over 10 years now. It's a lot like a small town. Thousands of people have lived here in the last decade. Hundreds of them are active in the community and millions of tourists have passed through checking out this friendly little place. Pardon another analogy but Meadowmufn, MaryAnne and Brian are the founders of this town and should have statutes in the town square. (Hmmm, I wonder which statute would accumulate the most bird droppings?) The history of the HazzardNet is the stuff of legends with Brian and MaryAnne following our Supreme Superior Commander (Meadowmufn) and making Dukes of Hazzard history by providing a place for Hazzardites all over the world to hang out together. The Dukes of Hazzard is many things to many people. Everybody has their own reasons to love the show. Some folks here have been fans since the show first came out and some here are teenagers who have the very important task of handing the tradition down to future generations long after the older folks have passed on to Hazzard heaven. Having a place like the HazzardNet to express our love of all things Hazzard is a blessing to serious and casual fans alike. Without our moderators creating and maintaining this place, a whole town full of folks would be like lost sheep in the desert without any direction (I'll skip the shepherd thing. Two analogies are enough in one tribute) The HazzardNet isn't simply just a website on a computer. It's a place we come together to celebrate the real spirit of Hazzard County. It's a place where we come to enjoy God, family, fun, adventure, community spirit and something that we don't have enough of in this old world, happy endings. Fortunately for us, there'll be no ending for the HazzardNet. This place will be here as long as the internet exists. As far as the happy part goes, the HazzardNet is the very defintion of the word "happy" to us Dukes fans. This happy place might not have an ending but it certainly had a humble beginning and thanks to Meadowmufn, Brian and MaryAnne, the millions of smiles and laughs created because of its existence are just getting started. Thanks for all you do moderators. We appreciate you and we love you.
