Since our our friend and forum founder Jeff aka Crip passed.
Gone but not forgotten............... Jeff was an inspiration to me and I think of him often.
This site is here as a dedication to Jeff and to ensure he gets credit for all the wonderful themes he created.
Many thanks to Maxx for keeping this site running smoothly and offering support for those who need theme help.
Thank You friend!
And Jim and I, We also remember all the Good times, We had communicating with Jeff on daily based, Sharing our thoughts and ideas and all the SMF Themes and related subjects, Jeff had always given his best to the SMF Community, as well as, The TP Team, He had never forgotten what they have done to help and assist Him, when needed the most. Jim and I were very close to Jeff and He was like Family to us, and was treated as such.
Jeff had Very hard road to travel, but he never gave in or up on any of the SMF user's they crossed his path.

One year ago today, we lost a great friend and team member here at the Cripzone.
Crip, AKA Jeffrey P Rodefer, left this world on January 2, 2014. He was my mentor, my great friend, and my confidante for several years. Today has been a tough day for me because I still miss him very much. Obviosly, I will never forget him, or even to forget to honor him on the anniversary of his passing. Please feel free to think about Crip for a few minutes and about what a great friend he was to all of us.
Please feel free to stop by his site at http://www.jpr62.com/theme/index.php and say "Hi" to us, if you are still a member and so inclined.

Rest in Peace Jeff.
We miss you here and across the web, in all the sites where you shared your friendship and talent.
The highlight of my experiences with Jeff stemmed from a conversation with him back in 2010, A Conversation With Crip~ (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=2604.0).
That conversation sparked an idea Jeff had that led to a Skype chat that included many of the TinyPortal support team of that time.
Great fun for all of us... and typical Jeff, he wanted to have us all be happy.
Ken,
I vividly remember that attempt to get us all on Skype (I think it was all audio only since I don't think Skype would allow video for that many people) and remember it all starting with Jeff. Even though I spoke with Jeff quite a few times, I can't recall us ever being able to actually get him into a chat because of his early to bed schedule. It was fun to relive those times though, if only briefly.
:gp:
Agreed ZP.
Like you, I talked with Jeff many times through the written (typed) word in forums, PM's and the like, but that one time that he and I spoke live and in person on the phone was my favorite interaction with Jeff.
He was a very special friend in the truest sense of the word and like everyone else I miss him.
Yes, he was an awesome man! :)
