Title: DTF community appreciation thread
Post by: DarkLord_Lalinc on April 27, 2009, 09:37:52 AM
This time without a forum and a home to visit frequently, I came to realize what an amazing community we are. These years have been incredible and now, cheers for the ones to come. Thanks Jen and bosk (and all of those involved) for all the hard job in restoring DTF and the amazing new look.

I'd hug you all but it's forbidden due to the swine flu epidemy in Mexico :tard

Yes, for the 10th time a sincere thank you to everyone involved!

The interwebs would not have been the same without this place. This has been a community I've been a part of for 5 or 6 years now and hope to put in many more.

Yeah, thanks for the forum and friendships.

Remember that time I first signed up at DT.net and no one liked me 'cause I just started talking to people without introducing myself? Good times.

Definitely agree on the bolded part. Coming from German speaking message boards where the rules are quite a bit stricter, I like the fact that it's a bit more loose, relatively speaking. But the regime is still strict enough to not derail from any seriousness, and that's what makes this forum so good imo.

I've posted this several times but still I'm glad this place is back. I registered over at 5/8 thinking I would like it more than here (immaturity is fun :angel:) but I really didn't. Everyone over here has always been so welcoming and supportive, and the community here is fantastic.

tl;dr *appreciates*

Yay!  Thanks to everyone involved.

"appreciates"

at least a couple times a day during the shutdown, some thought would pop into my head and I would0 think, "ooh I need to post that" and then realized I couldn't.  funny how the mind works

Great to be back up and running again, this community really is the only place I ever, and would ever, post regularly. So I'm very glad it's back :)

Thank you to Bosk, Jen, and whoever else helped out for getting this up and running again. Like I said somewhere else, not having this place definitely created a void in my life.
Title: Re: DTF community appreciation thread
Post by: JoeBob on April 27, 2009, 01:33:41 PM
I LOVE YOU GUYS! (bursts into uncontrollable crying)

Seriously though, the time when DTF was down were some of the worst days of my life, I missed everyone.

I echo DL's opening post. This DTF community has been together since the official board went down and then through a couple of splits. We can't be killed.

Thanks to Bosk and whoever else is responsible. A place I look forward to each day.

Last week really sucked without my DTF fix. It got so bad for me that I started making JP bear jokes at school, and people would look at me like, WTF? You never know how good something is until it's gone.

Well, glad it came back, although MP.com will always be mine no.1 forum (since I designed the freakin' website  ;D)
I like this place very much.

I missed this place.  There are other boards I frequent, including one named for one of my favorite time signatures, but this place provided the balance by having the highest signal-to-noise ratio, which I didn't really realize until it wasn't there.  Without DTF, I was all out of balance.  Seriously.  Like, I was bumping into walls and shit.  It was annoying.

How did I miss the relaunch??? Glad we're back! Thanks everyone for fixing all this!  Though the time off did help me remember how much I liked the 5/8 community too.

Everyday, I went to my Favorites and clicked on DTFForums and let out a profanity.  I missed this site and thank for the time everybody put in to get it going again.. But, next time get Al Gore involved.  He created the Internet you know!

I appreciate everything about this place. I didn't realize how much time I really spend here until the forums went down. I can't remember being so bored, this place is my safe haven.

We've come a long way from the days of PapaJimH. I haven't heard from him in YEARS....I wonder what he's up to.
I thought about him the other day when I was listening to a band he got me into. Hmm.

Anyways... as I checked the forum everyday and it was down...all I could think about was the forum that I run and what would happen if it went down.  I'd freak and probably lose my real job because I wouldnt be able to do anything until it was up again.

So thanks.

Donna

This forum is full of some of the greatest, funniest and most amazing people I ever sorta internet met lol.  except nick of course (jk dear) and though I may not always post all the time when i do get a chance to be an active poster it is such a welcoming community to be in.  Thanx a lot to Bosk for running a site with such integrity and putting in hours of man mind muscle and money into getting this place back up!!! :)

all of this...

I find myself laughing harder on this forum than any other I visit, and I regularly post on 6 or 7 boards. I spend more time on this one than all the others combined.... easily.
