May 4th will mark a year since we started making this life raft our home.
I'm reminded of all the hard work DB put into setting up all the forums. I'm also reminded of Tom's generosity in providing this space and his work keeping it running. Thanks guys.
I applaud those of you (http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0) that didn't let the bad guys keep us down.
Huzzah!!
This May 4th a contingent of people will be waking up in Tennessee after attending QuartETTE and the M'Crack gathering at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. Some will be headed home and some will be exploring the Nashville area that day. All of us will have been brought together because of this place. Guess we got saved from pirates of another sort from the Rennie SEALS who gave us this lifeboat. Happy Anniversary!
I was just thinking about this yesterday too before I saw this post. I'm trying to remember the year I signed up on the board, it was like July of 2004 I think. Maybe August 2004. It doesn't seem like I've been around that long, maybe because I've been in and out for awhile, or maybe because time flys when your having fun! I dunno. Either way I love this place! Just interesting I thought of it on the one year anniversary without knowing it :)
HUZZAH!!!
Many thanks to DB, John, and everyone else who's hard work went into keeping us afloat!
I'm very glad to have a home away from Faire, and thankful beyond measure for all the Fairmily and friends I've not yet met here ;D
It's a great home. And it makes faire all the more fun. Thanks John, DB, and Tom.
I am so grateful for this site. Before this, we felt isolated because we didn't know anybody else who enjoyed faire like we do. In fact, most people around here look at us like we're crazy. Since finding RF, we've found a whole new family. Yes, we regard our friends here as our family - and are honored to call such wonderful people our friends.
And thanks to John, DB, and all the others who make this forum the best on the net. I'm so glad we've been saved!
Thank you, Gentlemen -
You are our heroes!
Huzzah!
Love what you've done with the place. :D

I agree, Renee! For years renaissance festivals were something I pretty much did on my own, until I joined the forum. I'm now blessed with a wonderful second family, and have traveled to faires I never thought I'd see. Thanks to John, DB, & Tom for all the work they put into the site. Long live R/F!

My sentiments exactly.
Thank you to everyone who braved the rough waters when it appeared the ship was sinking. We're still sailing strong. :)

Lot's of sparkly faerie hugs for all!!!

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention TheChuck made the faire directory! Talk about being out of the loop. Geesh. Sorry dude.
Just goes to show you can't keep a good group of people down. And let's face it, with this group, there ain't no body better.
Also looking at the list of post's for individual posters, show of hands...who here is NOT surprised by DB's numbers of 1718 posts????? Hmm Hmm??? Yes this includes you in the back.

Hey now, I've slowed
waaaaay down since the last site. I was past 20,000 posts over there. I decided I should probably slow down so everyone can keep up with me... ;D
Happy Anniversary everyone.
Hard to believe it's been a year so quickly...
Doesn't seem like it's been a whole yer already since the move. I think we did pretty good. ;)

And a big THANKS to all who keep this place running! ;D
HUZZAH!!!
I think you did an incredible job, and we all thank you very much.
late as always but it is good to have a home and you all did a wonderful job too.
I am so glad to have found you again, thanks to the posts of "Sterling Renaissance Friends" on MySpace!
I have missed you guys so much during this *very* busy year...what with graduating from one college and starting another,
getting an apartment of my own (with a closet just for garb!) and a series of SCA arts awards, and looking for a new job...
I wanted to talk "Faire" and had very few to do so with... :-*
Counting the days now....exactly one month until opening gun at Sterling! ;D
