Yes, it really can't be said often enough. UD is one of the web's most popular sites for a reason, and that reason is teh Luke. I, too, can speak from some experience in saying that operating a site like this takes a tremendous amount of work, much of which goes unrewarded, and Luke does far more than I do so I can only imagine. Much like Disney itself, UD goes beyond the call of your typical website and it's all for we, the readers/posters. So hooray for Luke, and a big thanks!

I appreciate Luke. :D

Do I need to say more than that? Well, Luke's one of the few who's so modest, he doesn't even put his name on his DVD reviews! Besides, anyone who takes a simple Angelfire site with a condom board and turns it into a rich website with its own domain and growing community deserves appreciation. Let's hear it for Luke! No, really, let's hear it! On the count of three.

1.......2......3......

"IT!"

You heard it right here, folks!

Thank You Luke for creating and making Ultimate Disney because without you I'll be lost.

I would be saying when did Lion King come out or what is a Disney sequel or better yet what is a bootleg....thanks Luke.

Luke is the "Main Man" making UD on his own with his own money.

Thank You Luke you are one cool guy.... :P

Wasn't here for all the excitement, so I've gotta post two days later than everyone else (don't ya love it when that happens?).

It isn't said nearly as often as it should be, but Luke truly rocks. The reviews on this site greatly surpass any other DVD reviews I've seen on the web. It's obvious that a ton of research, thought, and effort go into each one, and it's an honor to read them. The website is just as fantastic, and if it weren't for this wonderful forum, I wouldn't have met all of you, and I wouldn't know nearly as much as I do now.

Thanks for everything, Luke! Even though we don't always say it, your hard work is very much appreciated.

If I write too much, I'll be repeating other people's posts. You know what that means I'm going to say don't you...

Thanks Luke (and all the other powers that be) for such a good site.

Here's a song that could sum up UD (though we're not all alcoholics :lol:)

I heartily endorse this thread!

Pretty much all of my feeling have been said, so i'll just sing 'Hip Hip Hooray for Winnie the Pooh' substituting Luke's name in Winnie's place!

I missed this thread the first time around, so allow me to express my gratitude now. This site is one of the coolest places on the web, and I appreciate all the hard work that Luke and the UD Gang put into making it that way.

Here are some smilies just for you:

I didn't reply to this thread first time around, so I'll offer my thanks now. Thanks for keeping this site a fun and friendly place to come to, and thank you for all the reviews and new updates which feed my thirst for knowledge.

Thanks again :)


Also, thanks for everyone else who helps out on the site, and the forum members who are probably the friendliest and most welcoming on the net!

I don't think this thread gets updated enough (it's been four years since this was last posted in :o ). I would just like to, again, personally thank Luke for everything he does on this site. This is one of the first places I go to when I get on my computer (every single time I get on the computer). This is forum and website is just an awesome experience and I don't think Luke gets enough credit for what he has done. This is one of the most magnificent websites I've ever visited and I definitely would like to thank Luke for all of the amazing things he has contributed to this website. Everything you do is greatly appreciated and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so. THANKS LUKE!!!

I'll join in with the Luke appreciation, too, TSOD. Kudos for a good bump. :pink: Even though I last posted in here back in 2006, Lukey has done a lot since then worthy of merit. So, I'll sing this song:

WE LOVE YOU LUUUUKE!
(oo-oo-oo-ooh)
WE LOVE YOU LUUUUKE!
(oo-oo-oo-ooh)
WE LOVE YOU LUUUUKE!
(oo-oo-oo-ooh)
WE LOVE YOU LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!
