In memory of our fallen comrade TonyStark who gave up so much for the benefit of XDA, the community and his teammates!
On March 20th, 2016 we lost a great contributor and moderator to this great site! He was a comrade, teammate, and friend!
He succumbed to respiratory failure after a long time battling this off and on.
R.I.P. buddy! You will be missed and remembered!
For those wishing to help the family they have requested all donations go towards his children's college fund https://www.paypal.me/TonyStarkKids
For those of you that are unable to send funds to that address, please send a PayPal money transfer as "friends and family" to the following gmail address: [email protected]

How are they coping with it? As someone who lost two relatives, just two years apart, I imagine it must be hard for them. (I'm just 17, so it was a huge blow for me)

It will be seen here, this is why we put the thread here, for the public to see and his family. Thank you for your words.
Tom was one of the best moderators we had. Always very approachable and went out of his way to help both fellow moderators and users. He will be greatly missed.
I'll share one of my first encounters with Tom personally .
I was a RC. Already had my Mod application moving forward. Then as I recall, I may have overstepped my bounds posting where I shouldn't have silly He gave me a scolding that day. Lol
Then I became a Mod. And there's TonyStark. Crap I thought, he hates me. Lol. But far from it, I found he was inviting, encouraging and helped learn me the ropes, along with others.
He was a class act and devoted himself to this site. His presence will be missed here, and everywhere.
You are missed Tom, but never to be forgotten. :highfive:
thank you tom for helping with various threads here. thank you for your reply a week ago.. i hate someone leave but if thats the will of the almighty then let it be. may you enjoy the journey you are in now. you will be missed. may your family stand strong after you departed. they shall be blessed

Well deserved as well. Best site for technical advice on HTC & Winmo and progressing greatly on Android front to
Would be nice to get the active count up though
This is one of the best online communities I've been to
hats off to us all i say
Couple of Questions
This is very good news but I have some questions:
- How are the XDA servers bearing up under the weight of all these members? Getting error 502-bad gateway is a routine occurrence when I log on at night in Europe (daytime in the US) and find all our American cousins logged on, hogging our servers. How dare they (lol)
- Given that this site is probably singularly responsible for a whole load of people sticking with the HTC brand, has anyone from XDA actually approached HTC for financial support and/or technical collaboration? We seem to be solving all their problems for them and keeping them in business without so much as a Corporate thank you in sight
- Moderation, with this number of members, must be an absolute nightmare. How does one nominate oneself to carry on this good work (hint hint)?

1 & 2: the 502 errors are software errors, the only system level workaround is to build an entire resilient failover system, and this will be more that just new hardware .
We (well the admins) are still working on the software issues that are causing the problems.
As for moderators, we are 60 strong, but not all active at once, some of the others have real lives to live.

Dave,
Thanks for the answers to my questions.
As for moderators leading real lives, are you telling me XDA is not the REAL world? I feel like Truman off the Truman Show. Has it all been an illusion, a figment of someone else's turgid imagination (gets his coat)?
WB
Wow!!
Yes we are huge!
I think the real interesting number is the active users one as the 2 mill sure includes a lot of one time only enter members, spammers, etc.
Very funny Mike (ROFL).
WB
Somehow we need to get a "number of images posted by Mike" count. It must be near the 10,000 mark by now!
3 members moderating 2,206 users??? wow!
first time ive been on a site thats even gone pass 100k
good job
that IS huge.

Cause it's utter nonsense would be my primary reason, but I got a bag of good reasons too
Thank you XDA's moderators for keeping this group focused on the phones and development rather than a place for bigots to throw insults around and use hateful, prejudiced language.
I was searching on the web for a new ROM for my Galaxy Note when I came across one here on the XDA site that looked interesting. After getting into its thread, I noticed it was closed. So, being the curious person that I am, I copied the dev's name and did a search on it. Sure enough, the dev was still using that name on aR new forum. On this new forum, someone asked him why he was banned from XDA. He responded that he had been suspended once before for calling someone a "fag" and then set up a new account to get around it, was caught, then banned for a year. Recently, he was in a "fight" with a moderator one night and the next morning discovered he was banned for life and all of his threads were shut down and his links/files were removed. He feels he was treated poorly and this was too harsh because all of his "hard work" was now for nothing. He was looking for others to commiserate with him, and of course, there were those that did and welcomed him to the new forum.
Well, I say good riddance. I will not be going to that other forum while he is there. I have no interest supporting bigots. He obviously saw nothing wrong with calling someone a "fag" since he so proudly mentioned it in his response, trivializing it as though it was nothing. I can only imagine what hateful language he was using with that moderator recently.
So again, thank you to XDA's moderators for keeping this a place for everyone to feel comfortable and not supporting bigotry, YOU ROCK!
Seriously, why can't everyone's first post on this forum be like this?
Thank you for not being like a lot of the new users, who just post rubbish across the forums.
Also for what it's worth, I agree with you 100% about the great job that the moderators and admins do.
Finally, welcome to XDA and I hope you continue to visit and enjoy your time here

List of themers and designers
Update November 5, 2018: This list is no longer being maintained.
Here on xda there are plenty of good developers out there. However, I have seen many developers who are very good at programming but not at designing and theming. Many great apps work perfectly but do not look very pleasing. In my opinion this is a very sad condition.
On the other hand there are also many great themers and designers here on xda. They create appealing themes for third party apps and share their modified versions with the online community. :good:
Hence I asked myself why both developers and themers as well as icon or graphic designers do not work together.
Developers need people who are good at theming and designing just as the themers and designers need developers to work with.
The best part: Both will benefit from this cooperation.
For that reason I created this thread. If you are a themer or designer, send me a PM with a link to your profile. I will add you to the list.

By the way: We have already got great lists for app testers, translators, developers and marketing experts.
This was featured on the XDA portal on May 17, 2013.
Just one change which came to my mind:
To help the developers decide who to choose, you can create a post here in which you give links to examples of your work. That is your possibility to show why you are the perfect person for the job.
Such a relief for people like us!

My apps suck to look at lol so someone helping me would be awesome.
So to get someones help for designing the app, we just pm them? or do we post here for their help?

Mods are also regular members!
Honestly, I am a bit tired to follow the rules... I mean Mods are the ones who should show the example and it's sometimes frustrating, we need to be careful anytime... This is why I've bought the HOTHEAD pass.
Well that means I won't have the hot pink... Hmm... not a big deal, this is a minor issue. Thanks anyway man!
Now I can profit!! After 5 years being a mod, all those constraints are gone!
Well, there's market for everyone...
Well, April Fool !
Ugh I had to shell out for Hothead version. Pls don't ban me!
