Exclamation New Recognized Members- Congrats!

Every now and then we upgrade regular members from their regular status to Recognized status.

We do this to honor them for their part in helping to create the existential synergistic proactive force of the TravelPUNK community.

Input in this decision was contributed by fellow Recognized members and Mods.

Some things we look at are the quality of their input, length of membership time, their involvement and interaction with other TPunks, if they genuinely help out other travelers, and of course their positive energetic vibes.

Most or all of those traits are consistent with the other Recognized members and Mods of our family.

So please help me welcome and honor these newly Recognized members:

freakypete
offhegoes03
mish99
mushroom22
zmsmith5
AKguacamole
Rebel1
epicballa
mollymore

Congratulations gang and welcome to the Batcave....

I just like saying "welcome to the Batcave," growing up watching the tv show and all.

Kinda like saying "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" (the Hulk)

And come to think of it, that would be a really cool idea if there was a Batcave like in the Batman movies, just for TPunks who have earned it.

Anyone got enough money to buy a hostel ?

Thanks guys, I'm honored to be a recognized member!

I'm at OR in Utah this weekend with work but now I'm really excited to get home and have some time to check out this new status. Anyone else work in the outdoors industry and here at OR?

cheers!
