Second anniversary

I joined the forum on Dec 1st 2004 but could not post on my anniversary date due to the closure. In those two years I've seen the forum go from obscurity to greatness to implosion. I'm still confused and shocked at what happened and I'm now in two minds as to what to do. I think I'll just sit this one out for a while and see how things pan out.

Congrats on your second Anniversary on TRF, Adrian!!

I've been on this morning and right now it's 5:30 pm Sunday evening. As far as I can see, everything seems as normal as it was a few days ago. Post with confidence and post away to glory. Now get clicking on those gorgeous birds.....non-feathered variety preferable!!

Congratulations Adrian on your long forum membership and all your great posts and pictures.Quality is better than quantity so they say, but don't let JJ know this he might slow down on posting.

Happy Anniversary, Adrian. I consider you an icon on this forum. You would be perfect in every way, if you just had a blue Sub!

Congratulations!!!

X2. And ditto.

Don't stay away my friend. You are a mainstay here. Just think of the past week as a little case of the hiccups that have now passed. We can all breathe regularly now.

Get back to your sheep and stop bothering the people or I will accede to your request.

Adrian, every place has ups and downs. Part of being a good team player is to hang around during the bad times. You guys had a big hiccup last week but is up to people like you to really put it in the past.

Congrats on the big day.
I wonder who the first 10 were? ( Okay I know #10, but what about the other 9)
Curious to see if they are still posting or is AJ the "elder" now.
