Welcome to all PDABuzz Refugees

Someone pointed me to this thread, and I wanted to address this publicly. No site on the web right now can replace PDABuzz - it was a unique site stamped with the personality of its creator, Wes Salmon. I would humbly submit, however, that our little site here would make a good home for the Pocket PC users among the PDABuzz crew who no longer wish to stay at that site. I'd like to formally extend an invitation to all of those people in the PDABuzz community. Mixing two different communities is always a, shall we say, "challenging" prospect, but I'm sure our common bond of loving our Pocket PCs will keep us together.
All the other non-Pocket PC users are welcome as well, but I'd like to stress that unlike PDABuzz, Pocket PC Thoughts makes no pretence at being a "PDA Neutral" site. We're pro-Pocket PC all the way, so I trust that none of you will be shocked by our "bias".
Our site can't duplicate what you had on PDABuzz, but perhaps something new can be forged that you'll enjoy just as much. It surprised me when I thought about it today, but our forums have only been around for five months. In that sense we're a "new" community, and we have a lot of growing to do. I'd be thrilled to have you along for the ride!
As a side note, I've extended an offer to Wes for him to become a guest columnist, giving him a platform to speak from when he feels like it. Due to something nice that happened to him recently, he may not be able to take me up on it, but I'll leave it to him to decide.
For all you new users, and perhaps a reminder for you "old" ones, please give our guidelines a read. I like to run a relaxed site, but there are certain guidelines I'd ask you to respect. Thank you!
