Hello everyone,

I have recently joined the forum and there is very few i know about this community so i thought of starting this discussion, as the title suggests you just have to share the most remembered moments on this forum, let me start with some.

-> Dave Bear had the surgery and make it out alive stronger then ever (and became the part of an elite group known as SOLIDWORKS POWER USERS )

-> Deepak Gupta broke the forum when he reached to level 10 (according to some of you, earlier there was only 10 levels and when he reached to level 10 they had to change the point system)

For me personally, the one I always think of very frequently is our dear friend Bernie Daraz and his thread What my doctor said.....
I don't want to turn this into sorrow and that's not how I now remember Bernie. Enough had been said on this so all I will add is that this is the most memorable forum experience for me, for it is the one I never ever forget about. (This by no means takes any shine off my recent accolade).

Dave.

Actually, ONE and TWO would definitely run a close second for me. Good call Dennis.

I think my most remembered Discussion was Some News About Wayne Tiffany (from before you joined, Dave). For me it was the first one that really illustrated the closeness and compassion of the SW community.

I always enjoyed anything with and about Wayne Tiffany. I was a great pleasure meeting and spending time with him at HG years ago and after his passing, meeting his boys at World. Learned a lot about Solidworks and Life from Wayne

Mine has been some of the above...
But in addition to this are the challenges that Alin Vargatu has put together. I have learned so much about Solidworks through these challenges..... SWPUC - SOLIDWORKS Power User Challenges

I never got to interact with Wayne Tiffany I was just getting involved with Solidworks and this forum when he passed.
I looked back at the link you provided above and I was struck by the outpouring of support and love. It reminds me so much of the response to Bernie Daraz and more recently, Dave Bear.
I really wish that I'd had the opportunity to know Wayne.

I think us who interact and respect each other very much, we share some time here and we get to know each other at least virtually. We express a greater respect and affection when things happens like that you mentioned before to us, in our life. Maybe it would be good to say them when we are very well, right? Of course, Tony Tieuli, my respects also goes to you ... I have in mind several that I respect very much as colleagues in SW.
Deepak Gupta and Dave Bear are the ones that I have the most respect for, one shared their advanced knowledge and the other as a good partner calm down to me several times, to say. They are a lot of people here, most of them are excellent people, my respects to all fellas.

So many great threads & posts, and some great examples have already been mentioned.

The funny thing is that some of my "Most Remembered Moments" are when the forum crosses into everyday life and becomes even more "real."
A good example of this is getting a call from John Stoltzfus when he wanted to plan a surprise for Alin Vargatu at SOLIDWORKS World this year, and then Alin & I calling John after the surprise.

Getting to meet Dennis Dohogne and Rick Becker at SOLIDWORKS World this year was fantastic.
There are so many people that I "know" from the forums, but it takes it to an entirely different level when I get to meet them in person.

There have been a number of threads that I have shared with Jade - What my doctor said..... was definitely one of her favorites, but she was also following the "Helen Chronicles" - Phishing with Private Messages in this Forum... very closely.

Starting some of the "off-topic" threads has been great - Kitty Dump - The "Kitty Dump" - SWIFT - A lot of LOVE either Real or Sarcastic - Bring it, Trash it, Rant it, Poop it ;) , Quotes - Non-technical Thread: Favorite Quotes , Music - What do you listen to at work? are all lots of fun.

As far as learning is concerned, the SWPUC - SWPUC - SOLIDWORKS Power User Challenges , Shared Tips - Have you ever been given a SW tip that you didn't know existed? , and everything that Glenn Schroeder has done for FAQs - FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) is priceless!
t
I think this one probably hit me the hardest - Some News About Wayne Tiffany - Wayne helped me get my UG up and running, and was always willing to drive up and give a presentation. I still have a tendency to ask myself "How would Wayne do this?" I really miss Wayne.

I had never read that thread you linked Glenn until just now. Truly heart-wrenching!
A supreme example of this community and it's spirit as you so rightly said.

SWW was awesome! Todd got the UGL of the year award, and not because of his looks! It was a delight to meet Todd, Deepak, and a few others from this forum, but mostly a lot of folks from all over the world. Wayne Tiffany is still actively mentioned at SWW, now THAT's a legacy.

I would like if this post was also on the list of most memorable: How do I do this SOLIDWORKS Forum thing? It would be nice if this could be in the greeting to new forum users along with the references Dan cites.

==>Edit: Updated the comment to refer to the FAQ now that it exists.
