Without this forum I would not have ever known about the wonders of FILM-GUARD! That chemical substance not only has made my muffins taste better, but has improved my love life!

Really Brad, here's to the man of the millenium! Without your tireless efforts we would not have such a professional forum for us junkies, um i mean projectionists.

Film-Tech has been an invaluable tool for me. Everything I needed to know to restore my old 35mm machine was found right here! What more can I say? THANKS BRAD!!

I too love to visit Film-Tech and recommend it to all the projectionists that I know. When Film-Tech crashed I e-mailed Brad and asked him when it would be up again because I was going through withdrawal. I didn't criticize it, but meerly wanted to let Brad know how much it was missed. I truly do appreciate all the hard work that Brad does. If this was interpreted in the wrong way I do apologize. Thanks Brad!

My how rumors spread.

No criticism was taken from the emails. In fact, it has been quite helpful when people email me when there is a bad link and such so I can correct it. This has been a problem over the last few weeks with the manual downloads, as we are moving all of the files to a dedicated server to increase everyone's download speeds. Hopefully this will be fixed within a few days and everyone can download faster.

The only problem is with users bookmarking the forum directly. When the program is being upgraded or worked on in any fashion, everyone sends emails letting me know there is a problem. Not wanting to ignore anyone, I always try and respond to all emails. However, the notice is generally on the main page (www.film-tech.com) when there is a problem that is currently being worked on...yet no one ever checks it. This is the reason the site is moving to frames to force everyone to check the main/announcement page. There have been as many as a few hundred emails flooding the email box over a forum crash, when there was a notice on the front page. Hopefully this will keep everyone more informed.

Now that we have finished relocating, there will be many new manuals and pictures coming your way in the next few weeks along with other new additions that are in the works.

I cant belive that people would want to knock Brad's superb site, and one can not fault the 'projectionist Forum' which I check up almost every day, even over here in the UK, projectionists have heard about Film-Tech site.

Keep up the good work Brad!

Film Tech is the focus of online film projection dialogue. That speaks for itself, it's a nice piece of work.

Brad:

This is everything my pretty much aborted attempt at a website was supposed to be.
Congratulations Brad on the success and thanks to you and all the others out there that have been helpful with all of us that every once in a while during our careers have had absolutely no clue. I Salute You all!

I wonder what the projection world did without this forum. I thank Brad for all his hard work, especially since I know how busy he is. This site rocks. May it never die!
