hi there
TRC was my home, it was the shade in the desert... the hut in the beach where you could see the rep world move a little slower compared to the city of the newer rep fora... It's good to come here and see a huge number of oldtimers which were missed in a daily basis over there.
TRC was, as we like to do, repped into a number of boards of different quality, A, A+, A++, AAA+... letting the old guy die slowly, while the new ones grew rapidly into these great boards.
This place looks really very much like TRC in its boiling times, from 2002 to 2005 and part of 2006, so it doesn't look too different. The only ugly part is that some guys like me just lost our jobs with the TRC closing... at least we have good friends that were already here. I won't deny I'm very sad for this, as I see the old gentlemans' club is no longer there... the rep WIS has no more plan B when this huge beast goes offline.
As part of the TRC admin team I apreciate all the support we've had this days and looking forward into the future I hope that being altogether reunited into one bigger, faster and louder 2.0 board will be lots of fun and full of new watches to be aware of... Probably I'll be quieter as of now, but still very present in the background.
We're changing the place but not the interest or our friends.
thanks to all who made TRC possible, Thomas, my fellow co-admins and all the community.
Cheers!
Chino.
PS: an oldtimer club would be encouraging.
