Thanks Bill.

All of your efforts and hard work have made such a difference in so many peoples lives allowing them to be part of your dream here at TDF.

You are one of a kind. Stay that way and be happy.

Happy Retirement to you, Bill!

Sure the way how you have run this forum, being able to calm down the waves when things go messy, making hard decisions when it must be, and still keeping your unique sense of humor, sets the mark high to those who follow.
Thanks for making TDF such a nice place to be!

I am looking forward to read your witty posts, now coming in from a more relaxed position

Happy Retirement, Bill! May the years ahead be as good or better than the years behind!

The Doll Forum has been the major driving force in the advancement of the doll hobby. TDF has brought manufacturers and end users closer together, and has made us all accountable for our part in improving the hobby.

The Doll Forum is to the doll community what WebMD is to modern medicine, explaining complex ideas in a way that ordinary people can understand.

Thank you for all your hard work, your patience, and your wisdom!

I still remember when Snuggles introduced me to TDF. He wasn't sure how I would react to him liking the dolls here. It was sorta funny. He talked me into making an account here and since then I have not only gained appreciation for the dolls beauty, but I have made so many friends here that I otherwise would not have. Thanks so very much for creating an awesome place such as this.

You deserve a break! Back in 1999 I was emailing you, Jerry, and Marianne almost daily to learn about realdolls. Hard to believe that its been 10 years.
I could NEVER repay what the three of you did for me by answering all my questions.

Hi Bill, I just wasnted to thank you for making the doll forum. And all the time you have invested in it. You have over 30000 members that know more about the doll hobby, thats very cool. So now your stepping down from running the day to day business here. Iam sure Kharn will do a fine job in your place. I will be looking forward to your post as always. Take care Bill.

When I first posted in 2003 it was the only internet forum I had ever been a member of. I was a little scared being one of the only female members but the members immediately put me at ease. Thank you Bill for helping create and maintain this forum.
