Treefrog Treasures Forum First Anniversary! (1 Viewer)

Happy Anniversary and a great big thank you for the forum.:)
This forum has brought together people from around the globe with the same interest. Most of us have not seen each other in person, a few at Toy
Soldier Shows. Yet we chat with each other like life long friends.

Think about this. People do care about a person they don't really know all that well. For me it gives me a place to chat with people that Like the the things I do.

Thank you Shannon & Pete
 
Happy anniversary! This forum has been, and continues to be, a highlight of my day. Forget starting the day with coffee, I check the forum instead. :D Thanks for everything!

Thanks for the very informative forum. I,ve learned alot here and in return I try to help out others with what I can. I think this forum is lots of fun and always keeps me on top of whats new and helps lead me to what i,ve been looking for. Too bad every one lives so far apart or we could have an anniversary party every year.
 
Thanks Pete & Shannon, I remember calling you a day or two before this forum started when you told me about it. It has been 1000 times better than I thought.
Best of all was meeting a big group of members at last years OTSN.
Every day when I check my favorite places on the computer I save this forum for last, as it is my favorite.
Thanks again,
Gary
 
Thanks again Treefrog. The forum, as many have already stated has allowed us a place to meet new collectors and talk toy soldiers. Life is good!!! Looking forward to another new year of interesting topics in our little world of toy soldier collecting.......
 
I remember when Shannon asked me if a toy soldier forum would be a cool idea. I was shocked and happy. Shocked because I had been thinking of creating one myself a month or two before and happy because now I didn't have to create one myself. Happy Anniversary!
 
Hello Shannon:

What a genius you were creating this site. Yeah, yeah, yeah there are all kinds of special interest forums on the Net but this one is cool and run by great people. Please keep the special gift because I've been experiencing it over the last 6 months since I've joined the forum.

I wish you continued best fortune to you and your family. Thank you and Happy Anniversary,

Carlos

Shannon and Pete,

Congratulations on a successful year for the forum! The opportunity to participate on the forum has meant a great deal to me. Let me briefly explain...

I live in an area in which no Toy Soldier Shops exist. It is a seven hour drive to the nearest brick and mortar store and it is a trip I very seldom make. Further, very few collectors exist near where I live, thereby making the internet my chief means of studying, discovering, learning, and purchasing toy soldiers.

The Treefrog Forum has allowed me to interact with other collectors around the country and around the world. As a result, I have learned loads and have made many new, good friends. Additionally, I know I have become better informed and a better collector. I genuinely and deeply appreciate the opportunity you have provided me and other collectors.

Best wishes for a long and productive experience with this remarkable forum!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Dear Pat,
You've summed up exactly why we started this forum--to connect collectors from all over, especially those in areas where they are far from hobby shops and other toy soldier enthusiasts. So many of you are incredibly knowledgeable and talented it would be a shame not to pool your collective resources to strengthen the hobby. Thank you all for joining the forum. A huge thanks to all the manufacturers for joining as well and making this a place where collectors can be heard and feedback and suggestions can be made.
Warm regards to all,

You forgot Belgium as well!!!!:mad: :rolleyes: Anyways happy birthday again.
 
And Malta. I forgot Malta. Sorry tora7770!
The way I checked for countries was by country code at the end of your email addresses. If you have an address that doesn't list your country code I probably missed you.
Anyone else?
