* We're Back... And Some Special Thanks Are In Order..

[nikhsub1]

TRF is a VERY special place indeed. The things that we do for this place we do out of our love of this amazing community. I don't post all that much, (I'm usually too busy fending off ddos attacks ) but I do hang around and see what goes on here, it is like no other that I've seen anywhere online. That is why I don't mind doing what needs to be done to keep this place running, along with Steve and the Mods. Really, it is not us that deserve the kudos, it is YOU who keep this place so endearing and so welcoming. To you I say, cheers!

Thanks to all the guys who make this happen, JJ's signature says it all

If I want friends, I need look no further than TRF!!

I believe that many of us feel the same way

Thanks for the postscript Larry.

I would like to add my thanks to all those who contributed in getting things back up.

[blackjacker2]

I can only echo what others have said - thanks, you guys are the best!

[Deep Sea]

Glad everybody was able to get it back up and running. Special thanks to all those behind the scenes! And to the other forums that provided public service announcements.

[Warnsboy]

Thanks All

[ersnyder]

You really do come to fully appreciate what you take for granted when it's taken away. Thanks to all for getting TRF back on line!

[2th Dr]

Thanks to all who were instrumental in getting things back up and running, and those who came to the aid of TRF while it was down! Good to be back!

Scott,Steve and all the Mods

I would be more than happy to contribute to a fighting fund to keep this great forum "Online"

I was pleasantly surprised at the level of camaraderie shown by other forums during the attack. I've seen forums in other hobbies try to take advantage of outages involving dominant forums to recruit new members, but for the most part, that didn't happen here. I assume measures can be taken to prevent a similar attack in the future?

[SLS]

It is certainly nice to be back online, thanks to all who helped out!

SUGGESTION: Do we have a group on Facebook already? If so please let me know the group name; if not, can the moderator please create one and we will all go join...

[mkmk]

It has all been said above. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.

I agree. There is something about this community that makes it so special. The fact that other forums were willing to help out and provide a place for us to meet and share our concerns during the outage shows that we are not competitors. Rather we are compatriots; we've shown that there is room for more than one home for watch enthusiasts and we can go back and forth visiting each others homes at will.

Kudos to this great community (not only TRF, but also WUS, TKF, and Uncle AJs). Well done, everyone.
