gizmola Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Our resident SQL guru Barry "Barand" Andrews, who recently surpassed the 1k "like" mark -- a first for any member of phpfreaks. The "like" mechanism is a relatively recent addition to the site, making it that much more impressive. Phpfreaks has always been a 100% volunteer effort. People like Barand are what makes this site the amazing place it is, and they do so to help others learn and achieve their goals. A number of our members have been visiting the site on a weekly basis for over a decade. Barry is one of those incredible people, and I feel proud to be associated with the site thanks to regulars like Barry who have kept the community alive through its many ups and downs over the years. I hope you'll join me in congratulating Barry on this milestone, and in thanking him for sharing his expertise with so many people over the years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 With the effort he puts into his responses and the depth of knowledge he shows on a regular basis, I'm somewhat surprised he only has 1000. Congrats Barand! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm somewhat surprised he only has 1000. Agreed, I thought he'd be well over that mark already. Congrats Barand, every one is well deserved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 What happens if I go back to pages I "liked" for him previously and remove the like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Go Barand! Your SQL kung fu has always amazed me, motivated me, and also intimidated me I've actually "liked" several of your posts as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalecosp Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Barand's a great guy ... first "met" him at another site many years ago. Always a class act --- a decent fellow with a good handle on many subjects. Congrats, man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapeGun007 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I love Barand. He has helped me out of a bind so many times while I'm trying to learn mySQL and sometimes even php. I've probably been on this site for 10+ years now, but off and on as I have not always been actively coding. What I really like about Barand is that often times when asking for help, some people will say, "Why are you doing it this way?" where Barand just gives you the answer. He's always very helpful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques1 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 What I really like about Barand is that often times when asking for help, some people will say, "Why are you doing it this way?" where Barand just gives you the answer. Exactly. Thinking is overrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberRobot Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Anyway anybody have a looked at this profile? I miss Philip! For what it's worth, Barand's "Like" tab has 62 pages and Philip has 9. I imagine there was some "like" testing going on in Philip's case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
