Shayneshark has passed and some other tidbits. She will be missed by the staff and the site.

I didn't even know she was ill. She did great work at the site and while I don't think I had any transaction with her as I've done too many on here to keep track of she was a valuable member and a great person every time I interacted with her.

If anybody thinks stuff gets done too slowly around here they may want to volunteer to help because let me tell you it isn't easy. You put in thankless work that only gets criticized and it seems like the angry masses that complain will just do that complain no matter how well you do or handle stuff. Not to discourage anybody from helping but more to let people understand that everyone on here is helping for free and has a life and work/income that they had to do outside of this site. So it isn't something like a business, company, or government that you should or would expect a more rigid work standard to exist. Basically what I'm saying is nobody should have complained that she was doing any work too slow or that anybody on here was doing work to slow. It is volunteer work and if you think everyone isn't doing a good job then step forward and show them how it is done because unless you have done it you don't really get a right to complain about it.

Really sorry to hear about ShayneShark.

Awhile back I switched from PWE to greeting cards for cheap trades. I use semi rigid card holders instead of top loaders to keep the cards flat. I can usually find a bag of greeting cards at the thrift store for a couple bucks.

Rest easy!

I'm late to comment here. She was a definite asset to the site. She put me on the OPG team a few years back, and her hard work was evident with how smoothly the IM was constantly updated. Shayne is going to be missed.

In addendum...

I was just looking at the sticky of the Image uploading contest that she was running. I was wondering the status of it, and if the RP was going to be allocated to all of those who uploaded valid images?

have not been on this forum in quite some time, but i did help out with the inventory manager many years ago and have uploaded thousands of cards. Shayneshark was always a pleasure to speak to and was very helpful.
RIP to a great member.
