Well, we’ve come to the end of another year and so it is time for me to thank the Fifteensquared blogging team for the time and effort they have put in during the last twelve months. I’m sure it has been much appreciated by those who visit this site.
My thanks also to those who contribute by posting comments because, by and large, this has been done in a polite and friendly manner and so I have not had much to do in the way of moderation (which I hope will continue to be the case next year).
Finally, I would like to thank all the setters, and their editors, for the challenges and enjoyment they have provided throughout the year. I, for one, would be lost without my daily cruciverbal fix.
All the best to everyone for 2020.
Dear Gaufrid,
Many thanks for all you and your colleagues do to keep the crossword world turning on its axis. Very best wishes to all for a happy new year.
This site is my first port of call every day. Many, many thanks to Gaufrid and all contributors.
Thank you to Gaufrid, the bloggers and all in the commentariat.
Best wishes for 2020, and let’s hope tomorrow morning’s puzzles don’t make the headache worse.
Many thanks to all. My one wish for 2020 would be that the editor spends a little more time proof-reading and avoiding gaffes of all sorts.
… I mean the Guardian editor, naturally.
I enjoy this site very much – well,I’ve been contributing for about five years- so may I wish all involved with it a very happy New year!
I use the site far more than my occasional postings might suggest.
Long may it continue.
Best wishes to all for the new year.
My thanks to Gaufrid and all the bloggers. Love the site and reading all the various takes on any given crossword. Let’s all now look forward with 20 20 vision. Happy New Year to all.
Many thanks to all. Happy New Year!
A special thanks to you too, Gaufrid, for all the behind the scenes work. On which note, I thought I’d just bring up the fact that running Fifteensquared is not cost-free – there are hosting fees to be paid every year. If I remember well, it was around three or four years ago now that we had an electronic whip-round where many of us willingly parted with a little petty cash to make sure that you personally didn’t have to cover all the costs. Is it time for another one? I’m sure you’ll let us know.
All best wishes for 2020 to everyone associated with the site. It’s been a lot of fun, and long may it continue next year.
Many thanks to Gaufrid and to all who contribute.
All the best for the New Year.
Gaufrid…Mate, you’re a legend! All the best for 2020!
Best wishes for the New Year to all the Fifteensquared community and thank you for all your work Gaufrid.
Long may this site continue to thrive.
As an ex-blogger, I can only say that the quality of the blogging team continues to amaze me (since I left obviously :). Happy to contribute to any operating costs as needed!
Thank you, everyone, very much, for daily assistance, enlightenment, entertainment, all-round education and thereby letting me get on with the chores without the distraction of an unfinished puzzle. Happy New Year to all
Thank you for the excellent site and best wishes for 2020
Thank you, Gaufrid, for all that you do – and thank you Kathryn’s Dad @10 for pointing out that there are costs to running Fifteensquared. I would be honoured to have the opportunity to contribute towards these.
I get less time for crosswords these days, and am therefore more of an occasional than a regular contributor, but I visit this site often, and I appreciate greatly its ethos and general tone. Thanks especially to you, Gaufrid, and to the team of bloggers. And all the best for 2020 to all who contribute to Fifteensquared.
Our heartfelt thanks to Gaufrid for all that you do. Thanks also to the setters, bloggers and commenters.
We would also like to reinforce Kathryn’s Dad comment about a contribution to enable the site to keep going. We would miss our contact with the crossword fraternity and realise there is a cost to this.
Thanks for everything you do Gaufrid, and thanks to all the bloggers and commenters. This is still a wonderful community.
It’s all been said, really. Such a help to us all.
Apart from the quality of blogging and posting, this site is also the epitome of how discourse on-line should be conducted. Many thanks and best wishes to all.
All of the above condoned, endorsed & amplified by my personal dealings with The Great Man Without Whom.
To Gaufrid: heartfelt thanks for this great and continuing pleasure and a very happy new year.
Many thanks to all the contributors, but particularly Gaufrid. It is a superb site.
Many thanks to all involved in maintaining this super online resource, and repository of (generally) very modest and good humoured debate.
Thanks, Gaufrid, thanks to the bloggers … and everyone who’s part of this site
Many thanks to Gaufrid for his tireless efforts on behalf of our community. Thanks also to the blogging team and everyone else who contributes to this wonderful site.
I too appreciate this site and thank all involved . I share in the sentiments expressed here
I’m mostly a lurker here, but here’s a new year’s thanks to all setters, bloggers, commenters and discussers. Cheers!
Many thanks to all the commenters, bloggers and especially Gaufrid for keeping the ball in the air. Best wishes to all for 2020.
I’m still new to this online crossword game, and I LOVE this site! Thank you so much for running it Gaufrid: that’s news to me. And huge thanks all the bloggers and btl community, from whom I’m learning so much. HNY to you all!
Nothing to add to what all the others have said. Well done all,thanks, and long may you continue,
Just to add my thanks to Gaufrid for the behind the scenes, and occasional on stage, work and everyone else for their contributions.
I’m also a less frequent commenter these days but I still visit often. Many thanks for an enlightening and civilised site. 225 is a beacon in these troubled times. Happy New Year to all.
