Thanks, admin for establishing the Refupea board. You handled the new site so well, and opened the doors to several lurkers like me who finally felt free to join the conversations.

There is nowhere, absolutely nowhere else on the internet that is anything like this place. I belong to a couple of other forums, and they pale by comparison. I think the intelligence level on this board is high, the humour wonderful, and the compassion outstanding. I don't visit the other forums anymore. This is my home and the first place I look every time I go online. When I talk to people IRL about things that have been discussed here, I don't say I read about it online, I say my friends were talking about it. And that is truly how I feel. I do think of (most of) you as friends. So, happy anniversary friends, and here's to many more years of friendship, fun, serious discussion, and WTF moments! And admin, thank you so much for the setting up, the maintenance, and the gentle touch. Were it not for you, we might still be wandering in the wilderness!

Happy Anniversary everyone! I'm so glad we have this place and that we have already come so far in just a year. Add my HUGE thanks to The Fairy Podmother for creating this fun little place we call home on the interwebs! Long live the Peas!

It's been a great year! Thanks to the administrator for stepping up so quickly to set up this message board, if not for that action a year ago I doubt the peas would have been able to regroup. I agree, there would have been loose peas all over the place!! Thank you admin for all you do!! Happy Anniversary RPs!!

While I don't post every day, I do read here every day. And I have a much greater post count in one year here, than I did in 4 years at the old place. I'm happy we have this place to call 'home', and all these members to call 'friends'! Happy Anniversary, everybody! And I add my thanks to admin, too!

Ditto to everything that has been said. I would have been lost without y'all. That said, I probably would have saved a whole lotta money had I not found this place. Not that I haven't bought some amazing stuff, I'm just a sucker to buy anything you guys recommend....whether I need it or not.

That was such a horrible feeling when we realized our message boards, and all the history and connections there, were really gone. Bereft is a good description. I'm also grateful this board was put up so quickly and we had a place to gather. It truly did feel like a virtual refugee camp for the first few weeks, but now I believe it's a better board than Two Peas ever was .

Thank you Fairypodmother and thank you to each and every Pea for making such an amazing, informative, fun, creative, supportive home for us all! I remember the complete shock of seeing that Two Peas had closed and the sinking feeling I got thinking that we had lost our community, but here we are one year later still going strong! I miss the peas who aren't here, but I am thankful for the new members who joined us and the lurkers who post more! Long live the RefuPeas! (And seriosuly, that has to be the best name ever!) Happy anniversary everyone!!!!!! Now, who has the cake??L

Happy Anniversary everyone! I found the board early on by looking for familiar names on other scrap forums, luckily someone there was talking about it! I too, felt a huge loss even though I wasn't a prolific poster. So glad to be among you all, I love this place! Thanks so much admin !

Sometimes there just is no one else who you know who will listen and understand the way the Peas do...we're all freaking awesome
