Thanks Gary. I remember those early days too. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought "it would be cool if I could get the list up to 500 or so components, that would be an accomplishment." Today we're just shy of 4000, and if I got around to processing my backlog of completed eBay auctions I'd probably get there.
I would like to say thanks to all of the visitors, members, contributors and supporters of the site since it's humble beginnings in 2007. I certainly didn't do it all by myself. I may have been the man behind the code, but it's the visitors and those who have contributed in one way or another to the site that has kept the development going. I'm still not satisfied with some areas of the site, still more areas to improve, some old areas that are in much need of some reworking now that I'm smarter than I was in 2007, others that are newer but I'm still not happy with the results. One day I may say the code development process for VeloBase is complete and all there's left is to fill in the gaps in the data, but that's not today. I should have the Component List (and Gallery List) upgraded by early next week if not sooner. After that I can sit back for a little bit and develop a game plan for the next phase of development.
As always, my inbox is always open to ideas, suggestions, and telling me where I managed to break something while fixing something else.
