Site Forum

thank you for your contributions to this site, and for being "one of the good ones," to quote Hamilton2, 

happy ventures in diecast NASCAR to you.

as my personal quote says:  this is a hobby, when it's not fun, I'll quit

the same goes for the site.  if the site isn't fun, I'll stop.  But, unlike Billy, for me personally, the site is still a ton of fun.

I'm not sure what the issue is, and it doesn't matter. Sorry to Billy that he's got an issue

Thanks for the update, Billy

and thanks for your kindness in the couple of trades we have done in past years....maybe another one after your break

You're just a good guy, Billy. Follow your passions. If they bring you back here, all the better. 
I'll miss you.

Billy, you are one of the guys on here I consider a friend, If you ever need me brother I am here for you.But I totally understand. mental health is more important. Take care buddy. Have fun with your cars and see you when you come back.

Glad to hear you are doing ok Billy. I hope you find the fun in cards and this site that got you into it in the first place. I for one will be forever grateful to you for proposing my first trade here. You my friend got me hook on trading even if I don't do it as much as I want. You take care of yourself and do you and what you like.

Billy, wish you the best and hope changing things up bring you much joy.  When I first came on the site 5 years ago, you were one of the first names I noticed consistently came up. I always saw you welcoming new members and thought you were just one of the better people out there.  The first time I reached out to anyone on the site, it was to you asking about scanning.  You were always positive and helpful.

Selfishly, I hope absence makes the heart grow fonder and soon you will find a new energy for the site and cards again.  The website is better with your presence and if there was a TCDB member hall of fame, you would definitely be a member.  Thanks for all your efforts, insights and positivity.  I look forward to the day the cards and the site work their way back up on the list of the desires!

Very articulate ans well "spoken". Not much more I can add other than I always read your posts regardless of content and even though there are different "personalities on the site I always thought of you in a positive way. Come back when you're ready. Taking care of yourself is most important, everything else is a distant second.

Wish the best for you sir! Hope your path leads you back here whenever your are ready. Open arms await you!

Thanks guys. I do appreciate the sentiment. I'm having more fun in my diecast hobby then I have since at least 2009 or 10, getting things I've always wanted but never prioritized, and finding things I would have been chasing if I had known they existed. I'm expanding my skill set in my model building as well. 

I'm still a card collector, always will be, even if it's low priority right now. Still haven't opened the trades I've gotten but one showed up a couple days ago and I had to mark it as recieved, finally got the chance to do so. 

Not gone forever, just for now.
