Angus Thermopyle who, when this forum was spammed, wrote several scripts free of charge for me to help stop the same thing ever happening again. A huge, in fact my greatest thank you to him. Angus may be setting up his own business (he is much more than a web developer, he really understands programming as well) and can be contacted on Angus' Email Address. Adsoft Development - This forum owner's developers, who have made him rich (on his other commercial sites, not this one!)! And who have developed the scripts this forum uses far and beyond any other forum of it's type (wwwboard). Who also, be warned, wrote the anti-cracker / hacker scripts that allow this forum to not only be safe, but identify and file charges against those that tried. If you have your own web project, from design to cgi, from php to xml. Adsoft rock at only US$15 per hour (these guys are based in Russia) Adsoft's Web-Site Adsoft's Email. Matt Wright who wrote the basic discussion board (wwwboard) script as freeware so long ago and whom so many forums owe their very existance to, yet so readily forget / fail to acknowledge. Matt's various scripts can be downloaded from here. Made and Ridwan of the Pondok Sari Hotel in Pemuteran. Who, when he heard a guest (this forum's sponsor) had been involved in a road accident, rushed to the scene, explained to and calmed the "excited" locals, and spent hours with him at the hospital / police station sorting it all out (without expecting any reward). What could have been 3 days of miserable police investigation was reduced to half a days inconvenience, all thanks to their unselfish help. Nicer people in bali you will never meet. Frans of Prima Cottages in Sanur. Who is so unselfish and such a humanitarian, that he helped a German family whose relation died in Bali. Even though she had been a guest at another hotel, he arranged a Christian burial for the deceased lady, despite the pressing needs of his own (wonderful) business and family, simply because it was her dying wish to be buried there. Chandra of Celuk Agung Hotel, Lovina. Who insists on notifying me even if a casual call-in / on-the-day tourist rents a room at their hotel who got their details off my reservations site, so that I can charge them a commission (which they also insist upon). Although most other hotels, most noticably Dewa of Balisani and Made of Santrian, go out of their way to support me and my efforts, Chandra goes to the extreme, and is above and far beyond my previous notions of what the upper limit of being honorable is about. David J Booth the man that founded the East Bali Poverty Project. Read all about it here. Copyright © Travel Forums Org "Real information & help for good causes within Bali & Lombok."
