As you know Lizzie, I do remember day one, those five years ago.
I was amazed that a company would waste a lot of money just to let their users talk and bi*ch with each other, what on earth good would that be to the company! But I soon realized why they did, all these lovely people started to enrich each others lives......and at the same time act like a level of support for Airbnb. Many user problems were solved right here on the CC and I realised what a clever move it was!
I miss a lot of my early associates and friends from here....
Dave Salmon and Deb from Edmonton.
Clare from California.
Helga and that bloody parrot of hers from Paris.
Andrea Wagner from Amsterdam.
David from Como.
Annette from Prescott in Arizona.
Linda from La Quinta in California.
And of course the wonderful Bruce from Kfar Blum in Israel.
These guys, as you know Lizzie were the backbone of the CC, I learned so much from them, I am forever in their debt.
There have been a few sparring partners as well along the way, but every one of them has helped not just me but others to become better Airbnb hosts and users.
Each year sees many wonderful new contributors come along and I just know the CC has a bright future.
This forum is a wonderful resource which I have visited every day that I possibly can over the past 5 years and will continue to visit into the future. I extend a profound level of thanks to you Lizzie, Kirstie, Liv, Quincy, Nick, Gabby, Francesca, Steph and Katie for the wonderful way you have run the CC and kept the troops in line!
I have just become a grandpa again for the 3rd time and am off for a couple of weeks to enjoy being on the East Coast with my family but, while I am away I will be looking forward to returning here again in December.
Stay safe all, give those close to you a hug and thank you for being part of a great community!
Cheers........Rob
