I'm happy to announce that the Bengals Board has decided to make 34inXXIII the 2nd official member of our message board Hall of Fame...The Cam Cat Club!
There are many reasons that 34 was chosen, and why we felt he was deserving of the honor.
This board would not exist if it were not for the original board. The vast majority of members here were also on the old site and it was that core community that made this board a reality.
34 was a very integral part of the previous community...the one that most of us once called home. As an admin, he served the old message board, the Bengals organization and the fan community proudly. He was always the epitome of class. He treated everyone with respect and and always had the best interest of the board and community in mind. Because of the way he conducted himself and how he interacted with the community, he was able to achieve a level of respect and admiration that is not easily earned.
When the old board closed, 34 joined us here. In the very early stages of this boards development, I reached out to 34 on a few occasions with questions, seeking advice and generally picking his brain. As usual, 34 was very gracious and very helpful. I can also say that we, as a staff, wanted to pattern ourselves after 34 in the way we conduct ourselves and moderate the board. His name has been brought up numerous times in staff discussions when we're looking at how to approach different situations. While all of us on the staff have grown into our own types of admin/mods over the last year plus, we still hold 34 up as the standard bearer.
34 has always been an important, well respected member of this community...whether it was leading the old board with great character or supporting this board since it's creation. He also helped inspire the very club he's now being inducted into. He made sure that Cameron's story was brought over here, so that it could live on and be remembered by our members. For all that he has done for this community over the years, he is incredibly deserving of being in our HOF.
So, to 34...thank you for all that you did on the original board, and for the support and encouragement you continue to give this board. Welcome to the Cam Cat Club!!!
