I don't know what to add, so I only say: Thank you for all, Brian!

I want to second that. Thanks for all the work and am looking forward to the next version of VP

[Joe]

Yes, guys

No Destruk, no VP or VPM tables as we know them!

Many thanks for your hard work thru the years, Brian.

Cheers

Ken

Yes without Him and few others VP / VPM would be dead or no where near where it is now.

When I first found VP in 2002, and was baffled by the VP/VPM interlink, two people came to my rescue and helped get me going. Destruk was one of them. He's been good for bouncing ideas off, and his level-headed approach to the whole scene has been a constant influx of fresh air. Thanks for that!

Destruk,

Hello!

ClickerSnapper here.

I'm coming from FP forums.

First let me say thank you for all you done and accomplished in this pinball arena!

Second:
I started with and supported FP and now I am supporting VP with some $ hope this helps.

and will give even more $ as I get more into this VP...as long as it is around!

Third:
I'm very familar with the area you come from! I spent several years of my young life in the Phillippines as well.( i'm 50 )

Clark AFB-Angelese City=which is no longer there of course=covered by volcano eruption!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and other members here more.

I already have had contact with some members here as they visited FP...hi everyone!

I really do not have time to make this comment as long as I want, but wanted to say Hi in English and in Tagalog...the prominate language when

i was in the Phillippines.

but have forgotten how.

So a big hello in english and If I could I would but you a lifetime supply of San Miguel or coca-cola and hamburgers! ( my way of saying thanks )

Thanks a million Destruk!

Gota go for now!

Best Regards,

Thanks Destruk. Thumbing around VP, Destuk
is the first name you remember. I have only
been here foe a couple of months and have
seen huge progress with VP. This is why it is
so fun to be involved cause I cant wait to see
what's next.

[Jeff19]

I'm back after 8 years or so missing. My first memory of Destruk was when he helped me put a magnet on my first (and only) table, ZapTrap.
He was more than helpful then and from the looks of this post, he has not changed one bit. Thanks buddy.

I'm a little late on this but i also want to tell Destruk what a great job he has done for the vp community, like TheMcD said Destruk, Randy and i have to add Steve Ellenoff to the list of people who worked very hard on vp and we wouldn't be playing real pinball machines on the computer if it weren't for them. Thank you very much guys and especially to you Destruk because you've been here the longest. David Pannozzo

[KevinDee]

I'm new to VP/VPM and I already have an idea of how much work this man has done, thanks for all the hard work!

[faralos]

In the past on the old site I saw his name also on PN he is mentioned, but here he IS a god! one of many but nevertheless one of the most important people ever to grace this site (aside from Noah of course) he answers my questions quickly and politely and he has been most influential in most of my pins getting finished too. Although I am a beginner coder alot of what I've learned recently is because of him There are others but he tops the list,( I didn't forget you Bob, or Wizards Hat or theguyoverthere or Scapino and the rest who've helped me) but he stands out, so my hat's off to you, kind sir for being patient and understanding with my many assinine questions

[tiltjlp]

It's great to return after more than 4 years away from VP, and see that Brian is still going strong. Add my name to the never ending list who have been helped by the heart and soul of VP.

[Itchigo]

He's always taken the time to help me! Thanks!

[druadic]

This man deserves many thanks from me!

Brian, if you didn't help me with many things via VP I never could have gotten many of the problems I had done.

Thank you very much for your kindness and your friendship.

Most of all, thanks for being you and all the help you've given to everyone; including me.

Much appreciated Destruk. You're one in a million pal.

Will aka druadic

[DarthSidious]

grtz

[toxie]

Indeed. Hopefully he'll pop up in the scene again at some point.

[DarthSidious]

Indeed. Hopefully he'll pop up in the scene again at some point.

i reget that i never stayed in contact with him, but even i kept an eye on the vpforums the past years and i'm back so i do hope he gets the same itch to return as i had

[Carny_Priest]

Cool story! And very well told!
