      I am signing up for the gold plan and I notice it is asking for a "Username". Will this be just for the portal or is it for the forum as well?

        The forum username is different from the pfSense Gold portal username.
        (and from Github, and RedMine - I think I have 4 logins related to pfSense)

          Thanks Phil you answered all my questions without asking.

          Good job on your contributions as well, I was browsing git hub and your jamming this year.

          Are you well versed in FreeBSD and just started contributing or are you a work-in-progress?

            Not a FreeBSD guy at all until I came across pfSense. Actually a long-time OpenVMS guy.

            I seem to learn a new language every year - Cobol, Fortran, Pascal, MUMPS (look that up!), C, C++ and nowadays I have to do HTML, PHP, JavaScript… and now Python is coming.

            Actually it is all the same. If you make useful subroutines with proper parameters and don't just make everything a global variable then code "just works". OO forces you to do it a bit more, but actually you could write good code in those old languages also.
