New Forum: WSO Success Stories

Since we've had so many of these lately, I thought we would start a forum dedicated to the success stories of WSO members to serve as a place where people can go to get inspired.

What I actually did was get rid of the Entrepreneurial Forum since it had the least # of posts and technically could fall under the "Other Road" forum anyways.

I will be periodically moving the "Thank you WSO" type threads to this new forum, but if you see any I missed feel free to throw a link in here.

Also, mods, if you stumble upon one that I miss and have time to move it, that help would be appreciated.

Thanks again guys - hearing these awesome stories is what makes my job fun.

Cool - did you move the threads in the entrepreneurship forum over to "The Other Road"?
