3 years of membership

#1

Post by Butterfly Maiden »

At exactly 9.32pm (GMT) I will have been a member of this Forum for 3 years :o

Where has all that time gone.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Admin TEAM and our members for helping to make my membership a fun and enjoyable experience.

I have been treated with great respect and friendship, and that means a lot to me :romance-grouphug:

That's too funny Vanessa, today was my four years milestone! Glad to have you here, and we are unique on the net in my opinion. I've tried other forums. Nothing against them, but this is "home".

Congratulations on that and thank you for all that you do :D
