I've recently had the honor of being interviewed by John J. McCallion for GAMES Magazine.
The article can be found starting on page 75 in the July 2012 issue: http://www.mwgames.com/?p=1293
I made sure to point out how influential BGDF was in how I've developed as a designer. The money quote is (bottom of the left column on p.75): "I really took off about 15 years ago when I discovered the Board Game Designers Forum (www.bgdf.com) which, with very helpful information and a great community of friendly and sharing designers, spurred me at last in the right direction."
I should note that sentence was Mr. McCallion's skillful summary of a paragraph's worth of commentary from me. ;-) But, as he/I put it: I'm happy ya'll were able to spur me at last in the right direction! ;-D
Cheers,
-Matt
