Being the forum administrator I have to read every post each day, while doing this I have had the pleasure of reading a lot of very positive comments regarding the forum. The latest comment posted said - 'the best WW1 model site in the entire known universe' (thanks Gregory) really made me very proud. What started off as just a tiny little forum with half a dozen members has now blossomed out to be a thriving WW1 model aviation forum with nearly two and a half thousand excellent members. We as a community work together, share our ideas and are not afraid to take a little criticism, we are all very friendly and make any new member more than welcome. It would not be a forum without you guys as its members, you are all a great bunch of people and I thank you for making the forum what it is today.

A very happy forum owner.

Des.

Des, the "thank you" goes to you from us! Thank you for creating such a great place for us like minded individuals to come together and share our common interests. You have managed to keep the discourse positive and friendly, while still being constructive, and from the start you have made us feel welcome. Now it's time for a big group hug! :o ;D

I have to echo what George said above. Des without you and the support of your wife this forum could never have become what it has. Kept it welcoming to all levels of skill and interest to all and that in itself is an incredible task. It's attacted such a wide diverse group of members who are willing to share and advise and more, to actually care about each other in many ways.

Theres a whole wide web out there for people to hate mock and bitch on and I for ona am glad they know this isn't the place to do that and it won't be accepted. 

Long may what you have given us continue Des I enjoy reading posts every day even if I don't contibute as much as I once did.

Proud to be one of the family.

Hi Des,
 This is the first place I look in on after booting my Macbook and the last destination before powering the old girl down at night. No other forum or website receives that amount of attention!  ;)

Long may that continue!
Cheers,
Bob

Hello gentlemen and ladies,
I agree, It's always pleasure reading and writing here, respect, no useless polemic, quick answering and a lot of passionate people. I'm fond of it.
Thanks a lot for all of it Des.
Best regards.

Like Bob, this is my first port of call each day and last at night. But then there are many other visits in-between. A forum of this quality does happen by chance and for that we owe you and Adrienne a great debt of thanks, Des.

Long may it continue.

Best wishes
Nigel

As a relative newcomer and someone who has a lot to learn, thank you Des for this site!  It is both educational and inspirational, with none of the negativity I see on so many other sites.

Des, your efforts have made a very special forum...by far the
best I've seen.  I am sure it is exactly what you had envisioned,
and is very much appreciated by all of us!  Thank you, my friend. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

    As others have already said, first place to visit at the beginning of my day and a quick last look at the end of my day; doesn't get any better then that. Great atmosphere, greater people, and just plain enjoyable! Well done Des and Adrienne, and also you almost 2500 fellow Members! :)
Cheers,
