Admin updates

[Ron]

Hello all,

The Pennington Family has approved us to continue to run and administer the site. Rob and I will be doing that. You will see that I updated the about us page as a memorial to Bryan. I kept exactly what he wrote and only changed the tense, and then added some content about him. I removed the old email addresses as nobody monitors them anyone. I shuttered and removed the web store.

VDH will remain a forum, catalog repo, etc. Since it is not a business anymore, Rob will be selling any parts that people need through his own store, which he owned before Bryan passed away.

Happy to answer any questions people have. The domain is renewed for 5 years, so it ain't going anywhere.

As someone who has been here since 2008, it's my pleasure to continue to run VDH for you. When I started here, I was 28. I'm now old enough that I cannot get promoted anymore because there are not jobs above the one I'm in lol.

Hey Ron... good to hear from you. It's like hearing from an old friend even though we never met in person. I hope you are still finding time to enjoy diving!

Thanks for what you have done to keep the VDH forum going, along with all the catalog and manual stash!

I am pleased to know it has served you well. If anything ever fails on it be sure to let me know. I probably have whatever we need to fix or replace it.
Yep, diving would be fun, but I still prefer warm water! I suppose you are still up in the cold water northwest?

Hi Ron,

There hasn't been a great deal of traffic here as of late but I'd be happy to try and save the site from encroaching hoards of boiler-room scam artists by doing some vetting. Let me know.

Today I removed the regulator repair store from VDH. I also cleaned up some code for parts of the site that we deprecated. If anyone has any weird experiences on the site, please let me know.

Ron, I have a question about the number of "views" listed per topic. Is that accurate?
I can't imagine 542,629 being a realistic number for the "build your own diving lung" topic! Must be an error?

Thanks for keeping the site alive Ron. Anything I can do to help?

There is an address and phone number at the bottom of this page that may should be removed.
