Today Is a Historical Day In TRF History..............................

...........as the membership base turned 100,000.

To Steve, the mods and all you 99,999 members I raise my morning Bloody Mary in proudness (is that a word) to be one of the 100,000.

Well Mon, I guess it means that none of us is special enough to be one in a million, but we're getting there!

Very cool.

I also join in thanking the moderators, who make TRF a great place to be. I'm sure it is a time-consuming, and often thankless, job.

Many a true word is spoken in jest, and yes we have grown from around 35 or so members back in 2005 to what TRF is today.And most of the original forum members and many of the mods are still here today when the forum was first started.And now the total the monthly bandwidth download consumption just running the forum is well over a 1200 gig of data.,.
