It has been a great year and looking forward to next year.
I see what you did there
I'm nervous to ask what I did...
A little late for the 12 days of Thwackmas
Thanks for a good year Danielle and Maria. Without you all out here, the Thwack site would not go so smoothly.
That's what happens when you get stuck in a blizzard without your work computer while on "vacation" to visit family.
It takes an army but thank you! You guys and gals are really what makes this site go.
Founding member of the 300k club.. WOOT!!
Peace be with all of our Thwack gods and all of us lowly Thwack users. May you each have a wondrous New Year. To each of you, may your nodes abide. May you find and destroy the threats you hunt. May your virtual machines rage on! Thank you for such a great year! It was both fun and educational.
I look forward to the benevolence and journeys sent to us by our Thwack gods in 2016.
Peace be da journey. Carpe Diem. May the Force be with you!
... And we said goodbye to a really cool guy, Lawrence Garvin.
Indeed. It was tough digging through all my SolarWinds Lab files while writing this... He is deeply missed. It's cool when we come across his contributions vast contributions to the IT community. That SolarWinds Lab blooper reel was priceless!
I confess to having had the limits of my credulity stressed. Stretched. No--exceeded!
Were there really 11 Million T-Shirts sent out? And 9 Billion buttons given out?
I enjoy numbers and fun facts to share, but how could SW handle that much swag? I WANT to believe, but it seems unbelievable. Please say it's SO!
But if it's NOT so, that's OK--IF you can share the real numbers. Even just ballpark figures. I expected hundreds of T-Shirts and maybe thousands of Buttons.
Those 2 numbers are playfully exaggerated because there's no telling how many we actually gave out, but the rest are accurate! If you've come to see us at Cisco Live, VMworld, etc. you'd see buttons, t-shirts and stickers flying out of our booth quicker than you can blink.
It's definitely somewhere in the tens of thousands, though rschroeder.
I am still trying to get 3 more people to follow me so I can earn my Influencer badge before EOY. I am not proud, I will beg for followers!!! 3 more to go!!!
My family is a walking advertisement for SolarWinds, with all the T-Shirts I've received. It's fun stuff--thank you, DanielleH, for your diligent work!
You have 2 more to go now.
Make that 1 more
Done.
Happy New Year Everyone!
