I would like to start my reply off with this comment of yours.

Tom Roberts wrote on Mar 23^rd, 2020 at 9:13am:

I must retire. Let’s just say doctor’s orders.

You will be in my prayers and thoughts that it things work out and nothing serious Tom. May retirement accomplish what is needed to relieve your doctor and your concern. Thanks for your efforts Tom and I wish you and your family comfort and rest from the rat race.

Next to Brian and Sean. Thanks for your efforts and I wish you the best as you adjust.

Well for everyone else if Tom says the forum will continue for now then we still have a place to get together to share, help each other and to have a bit of fun. Most times I have found this place to be therapeutically helpful. I have made a lot of friends I would have never made if it wasn't for this place. I have enjoyed learning from as well as giving back and helping others.

I am thankful, grateful and humbled to be a part of this and call those of you that would have me be your friend after all these years. Cool

Hang in there and I look forward to all of you posting.

Spence

I am not very active on these forums due to my other activities in life. I am sorry to hear of your pending closure.
Just know that you have provided a tremendous resource for me and many others over the years. This should make your retirement a happy one knowing you have helped so many in the Autonerdz family.
Maybe after all this is through you can have an Autonerdz reunion/party to celebrate your amazing accomplishments.
If your ever on the central coast of California I'd be happy to show you around some of the local sites.
Enjoy your much deserved retirement, sad to see you go.

I understand at this time it doesn't seem worth it for you to endure the supply disruptions and market changes. What I have between my ears thanks to trainers like yourself is the reason I believe I will "survive" the market changes. Thank you for what you have built. Also, I am willing to contribute to a sponsorship fund/subscription to allow the collective knowledge database and forums to continue.

Hell no. Just turning the page.

Not depressed about it.

I do have a friend that was going though some serious depression and I was worried about him. Hard to know what to say that's helpful. The only thing I could come up with is that you have to stick around in order to see how the story ends. He later thanked me for that. Silly comment like that might have saved his life....

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

One of my good friends told me years ago, When you get older and look back on your accomplishments, the deciding factor of success is.. Did you make a difference? I can say without question that Tom Roberts and Autonerdz has made a difference.

If there is ever a Hall of Fame for the automotive industry, you get my nomination! Wink

Tom,

Thank you for all you've done for me, others in the group, and the LSD community. Your impact on a lot of careers will be remembered for a long time.

I'm sorry that things didn't work out the way you had hoped. Perhaps something may come up in the future that allows autonerdz to return to functioning as we have all become accustomed. You never know, sometimes things just work out better than we expect.

I wish you the best in enjoying your retirement, and will be toasting my next few after-work beers to your health.

Thank you again.

- Derreck
