This thread is dedicated to the honor of CampKohler, GBO's founder, or CK as so many referred to him.
In March 2017, when the GasBuddy Organization decided rather abruptly to close their forum, CK created GBO as a place where GasBuddies could continue their interactions. GBO's format in many ways mirrors the old GasBuddy forum. CK chose the ProBoards platform for GBO because he recognized that it offered many features that GasBuddy's forum lacked.
CK's last post in the GBO forum was made on November 18, 2018. He has been absent from GBO since March 2019. Attempts have been made to reach out to him but no replies have been received. His GasBuddy affiliation was with the Sacramento, California site and he posted frequently about using computers at a local library. It's believed that's where CK set up the GBO Forum. No explanation is known for his nearly 4 year absence from GBO and we may never get one.
CampKohler's pet project during his tenure at GasBuddy was the creation of an ever-expanding Suggestion Tracking List. He summarized and cataloged numerous posts on GasBuddy's Suggest A Website Improvement and Talk Back To Us boards. Derided by some at times, CK seemed ever hopeful that one day GasBuddy management might avail themselves of the fruits of his efforts. Those hopes were ultimately dashed by the closure of their forum.
While we're hopeful that CampKohler may return to GBO some day, it's time that we recognize him for his efforts in setting up GBO. This thread can be used to memorialize our interactions with him.
