I gotta say this place ROCKS! I'm so glad for the turn of events that led us all here. It really is a VERY friendly place full of fun, diverse and entertaining guys who all have a crazy affliction for horologie.

And the management team has to be one of the best on the internet!!

It's nice to be among friends.

Okay, but only for you (I'm safe in my metrosexuality). Don't tell Daren though, he's the jealous type.

padi56 · 14 October 2005, 03:40 AM

Yes John and thats the way we want to keep it,thanks for the kind remarks.All the best to you all,after all the forum is only as good as its members.

14 October 2005, 05:20 AM

Great thread John. You are certainly right, the events that made us all come together were certainly a blessing in disguise (well, not well disguised, but you get my point

).

This place rocks!

baseballduck · 14 October 2005, 07:17 AM

This place is a great forum. Awesome people too.

Well, that turn of events passed me by a 1000 miles but I'm equally glad to have found this terrific place.

It is so addictive. Warm and friendly people from all walks of life. It reminds me of another great forum.

My contributions in the horological field are a bit meager, I do realize. I have owned a great number of watches but I’m no Walt Odets. So my contributions up to now have been confined to goofing around and selling pot to a growing number of forum members. (JJ, you didn’t think you were the only one, did you?).

No, seriously, this is a great place with great people. I love you all.

Frans.

Oh well, OK. It's the least I could do for you seeing how you introduced me to this wonderful place.

This place ROCKS

TOOT-TOOT!! Is that what your own horn sounds like? JK!!

This place is great and if you want credit or not Mark, most of it goes to you.

Mark · 14 October 2005, 10:48 AM

Funny to think when I started the forum, I didn't even own a Rolex. I was just a dreamer, never knowing it would oneday take off like it has.

welcome back Peter.

Uncle-AJ · 14 October 2005, 06:28 PM

Yes this is a great forum with a definite lack of megalomania.

Earl · 14 October 2005, 10:26 PM

Daren thats a good quote "If you build it they will come" loved that movie but, back to the thread.

Thank you Mark for your putting up with us and your trust in us. I like to think, yes you built this place and we invaded it and took it over all because some kiwi (not to mention names abut his int's are J) said hey all come to rolexforums no one there we can make it into some thing. Well we did come, and JJ disappeared on us onto bigger and better things (in his mind) until someone put a knot in his tail and brought him back to the reality of his friends were here building while he was off playing. The rest is history as you can see that kiwi has a few posts under his belt now and seems to be a permanent fixture here.

Thanks again Mark, and thank you all for your trust in rolexforums :o)

Rockrolex · 14 October 2005, 11:20 PM

Sheesh. I go away for one day, and you people go all mushy on me. Good grief, Charlie Brown!!

But seriously, you are all 100% correct. If Mark hadn't had the accidental foresight to start this place, and JJ hadn't been fortunate enough to find it (even though he deserted it for a minute), the rest of us wouldn't have come along to build it into the world class forum it is rapidly becoming.

And it is all due to the quality of the people who are members here. Most of us have come from other places (whether voluntarily or forced to is immaterial) and have taken from those places the things we liked about them and left behind those things that caused us to leave. From that we have melded a wonderful, warm, friendly place to hang out, where people actually care for each other and respect each other. It is the latter that I think is the most telling aspect of TRF. As long as we continue to maintain that respect for one another, we will continue to have a place where people will want to come and participate.

So three cheers to ALL of US. Because WE are ALL TRF. We all make it what it is.

15 October 2005, 12:26 AM

Well said Earl and Ed!!

dman · 15 October 2005, 12:28 AM

Okay, it has been established that we all like each other, can we please get back to making fun of one another now?
