Its the members that made TRF what it is today, plus the patience firm if needed but always fair help from the admin and mods.Now most of the mods have been here since almost day one when forum was first started. To think back a few years ago now late 2004 early 2005 TRF was first started by the original founder Mark.Then we had then just a few loyal members around 35 total most of those from another well known forum but thats now water under the bridge. Now look how we have grown over just a few years, so as a forum we must be very proud of what TRF has achieved today, the best Rolex and other watch forum on the net.So thank you guys its nice to see some appreciation from the members as many time the mods have quite a thankless job.

There are 2 basic, yet important reasons why TRF is what it is.

1-The owner and hard working admin that work tirelessly to maintain a very high quality forum that serves it's members worldwide.

2-Ouality membership, the OP, Alcan, being the perfect example. Al has contributed his expertise, time, and money out of his own pocket to help other members pursue their passion. Many others on TRF, too many to mention in one thread, have done the same and it aways amazes me the generosity and goodwill exhibited toward others.

Well done, TRF!

I'm on SEVERAL forums (not just watches) and this one amazes me the most out of any of them. While I like Rolex, it is not my favorite watch brand, but this place makes me want to stay. We get to discuss "taboo" topics that almost every other forum disallows (costs, places to buy, ebay, etc). We get to link out to other places on the web for information. These links are not edit'ed when they point to another forum. Its members self police this place pretty good and with class. For a forum of this size to not have the BS and politics I've seen on sooooo many other forums, it is truly amazing.

Correct, it shows 98 if you mouse over.
However, if you look at the member list you will see that I chose to not count test accounts.

If you remove the test accounts, I am number 87.

Regardless... I am an old timer lol.
