[robindee36]

It is a nice community Heather. So happy you make it to the 10 post finish line. Things pick up considerably beyond that milestone.

Yes, the admins are great, even if they dock me periodically for oopsies in the rules. Heck, no one's perfect. Well, with the exception of the trolls here.

Have fun.

Hugs, Robin

It was started by the site owner Jay (he's in the forum leaders list), he's my boss and we had the first admin join 02-18-2004. I joined May 2004 and took over as an admin in Sept 2005. Now I'm a senior admin and basically run the whole thing, which means I get to crack the haha I couldn't do it without my co-admin Sandra and all the wonderful staff

When I took over, we had just over 5 thousand members, we've actually had over 100,000 people register, but we do delete accounts after a year that aren't used I think we're doing pretty well 8 years I've been an admin now, time flies!!

I joined this site in early 2009, then discovered myself along the way, annoyed a few people, and became what I am now.....half this/half that. Yeah, I wear dresses in public, so what?
peace & love.

I'll add my thanks as well. (Deep sigh.) I found I wasn't alone. And thank-you-thank-you-thank-you for keeping it, um, family friendly.

[Sarah Beth]

I want to add my thanks to list for having this site and having it run the way it is. I found this site not all that long ago and have been ever so greatful that I did. It's so refreshing to come here and have place that is "clean" and honest and not like nearly all the sites you get when you a search for "crossdresser" on the net. I was so tied fo all the sexually explicit sites and the ones wanting to sell me something I didn't need.

What I found here was a place filled with freindly helpful people who are supportive and not judgemental. Reading the posts on this site have made me so much more comfortable with who I am and made it clear that there are places I can go and be open with who I am.

[Marleena]

A big thank you from me as well! I enjoyed the wayback link posted there.

Since I've retired this has been home away from home for me. I joined after seeing it was a clean site without people looking for sex and hookups. I was just interested in people like myself.

[kelliehusker]

When ever I'm down and think I just can't go on, I come here and read the wonderful experiences and advice. It always picks me up!!!

[Beth-Lock]

I would also say a big thanks to those that box our ears when we step out of line.
This makes the site what it is for us.

I would like to join the others adding my own Thanks! and expressing my gratutude for this site and those who make it work, moderators, administrators, and thoughtful contributors. Hugs all, Beth

[GeorgeA]

I would like to add my appreciation for this site. It's well run and organised and the moderators are doing a great job in keeping it that way.

Even though I'm in a minority here (I don't try to pass as a woman) I fell quite at home here.

I really enjoy reading the stories even though most of them do not concern my lifestyle and preferences. It's an eye-opener on the variety of crossdressers and their behaviour. If a post is completely out of range of my even perfunctory interests, I skip it and move on to the next.

Before I joined this forum I was aware of many differences in crossdressing (I read a lot on the subject) but this forum opened my eyes to the immense diversification of crossdressers. Just about everyone is different. Some have common traits, bur not the others. I found several people who seem like me, but again not exactly. Many are just the opposite of what I am and like things that I do not. etc.etc. In a nutshell, It's a great meeting place for people, who may be varied but have one common underlining interest: Crosdressing.

Have a nice autumn and keep posting!

[jentou]

I really enjoy coming here and thank all involved

[Michelle789]

I found several people who seem like me, but again not exactly. Many are just the opposite of what I am and like things that I do not. etc.etc.

No two people are going to be exactly alike. It's very normal to find people who are similar in some ways, completely opposite in others, and something else in yet others. Enjoy your stay!!!

[mykell]

[Ellie Bunter]

Definitely the best forum and it seems to have drawn a lot of people away from the others

[Abbey11]

I agree with all that has been said about what a great site this is, and it's that way because of all the great supportive ladies that are here and the great admin team that keep it clean but fun, a big thanks to all!
