I wanted to take a a second and give a shout-out to two of our moderators of the Isle Royale Forums, johnhens and IncaRoads . These two gentlemen do 99% of the work to keep the forum spam-free and organized. Without them, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the clean and safe forum we use to discuss everyt...
