its_urabus Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 TRC was my first rep board as well... its like losing an old friend, at least we can still visit and read over all the old times we all had there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Good old TRC, they saved me from buying a $1,000 Swiss A++++ Grade 1!!!!!!! rollie replica online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 TRC will always be a great memory! it was, like more members already said, the first really big forum that prevented so many of us of spening way too much of garbage or scamdeals. The last few years it was a calm oasis and it was always good to check it out, but i think this move was inevetable. RWG is more alive and kicking... but never forget the huge knowledgebase called TRC Thanx to T for starting that place and offering us all such an incredible place to share knowlege, experience and joy together ... Would it be possible to make a quiet corner here for the older members from there (the die hards who stayed for so long) to enjoy the passing of time?... Andy... you old fart... but honetsly... i would love to hang out with you in an oldtimers corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawo Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 TRC was also the first forum I joined. I peek in from time to time but have also noticed the declining member activity. Very sad but easy to understand why it has to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 The end of an era indeed. I think this is the best move however. We have definately moved into a new era and RWG is in the forefront. I will miss TRC as I was member #159 (I believe) and have had an incredible 5 years there. I like many, migrated to TRC from RWCC and eventually ended up here. I look forward to many more years here at RWG and appreciate all of the hard work the Admin team has put in over the years. It is truly a privledge to have been a part of THE original site that started it all and helped make this hobby what it is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 It is a sad day indeed for TRC. I spent many years on there and nowhere will ever be as good. Farewell my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHM Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 It's very sorry. It saved me from the hands of the ''swiss''watch scammers. Let's keep this forum alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 we must carry on the good name of trc here on rwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrooz Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 thanks Thomas for all your work as ever. I'm feeling rather nostalgic right now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 My first watch forum too. Fortunately for all of us, Thomas made the right decision at the right time, and RWG will carry on. TRC will be sadly missed, but here we all are. Lots of fond memories for many of us there. But...these, are the good old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) I had been collecting reps for 20+ years before I ever joined a forum. TRC was not my first one and I never really posted there. But I did use it as a resource and it will still be there for that. I am glad to see this forum will still be going strong. I don't really post here much either but I should. You guys really stepped up and kept the focus on the hobby after the original RWG fell apart. Keep up the good work. Oh and I do graphics work. So if there's an idea for a sig picture let me know. Edited June 28, 2008 by fakemaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Got T's mail, very sad to see one of my first homes on replicas leave the living status.... Hope a lot of the members will be alive here and dealers too, wouldn't want to miss Deltick as one of my supplyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hats off to TRC. That was the first rep forum I ever joined. Me too. I think it may even have been before this place existed, or around the time of its birth. Great place, but this place made it redundant in the end.

Chino Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVD Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi everyone. I started out in TRC way back in 2002 and never really left until now. I joined RWG a few days ago. Be kind and I look forward to many more good years in here. I'll always be grateful to Thomas and the admins out there for introducing me to this expensive hobby. RVD.

offshore Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi RVD, and welcome to our home. Great to see a few of the TRC team coming on board.
