    I got back into full time collecting at the end of 2001 and Transfandom was what I used for news and resources until the split. Been with TFW2005 ever since, though I lurked for most of 2002 and didn't make an actual account until December of that year. Memories...

    TOCAS.

    It's so weird to see it like this.
    Wayback Machine
    And to think Tony started this as a tiny little fan site.
    Edit: Wait, it had music when you visited it!?

    I found this site around... 2011 and have been visiting it daily/hourly, learned tons about my rekindled love for Transformers.

    As such, you've been one of my wife's most hated sites, I'd say more so than pornography :p 

    For that I thank you for all the hard work, the community (with all the arguments, all the positives and negatives) it created, some place I can let my inner child run amok and enjoy what I enjoy without feeling like it's weird, unacceptable or insane.

    I hope this site goes on for another 20 years, until we all grow senile and pass it to the next generation, biological or ideological.

    I owe my career to this site. Long story short I networked with people in my sightings thread which lead me to one job and then another. I don't think I would be where I am at if it weren't for this site. Thank you Orio and Tony B!

    Yep. Tony made some original songs that contained audio clips from various Transformers shows if I recall correctly. Kinda wished he still kept them up; I miss them a lot.

    Joined in 2010 when I was 15 years old (gosh I feel old now!!) And have gone here at least once a day since!!! I love these forums even if I'm not consistently posting. Made some cool interactions and a couple cool friends, and seen others drop off the face of the Earth. Wouldn't trade it in for the world. This place is great, I'm happy to have it around.

    Would roughly be 120 dollars a year if both for google play store and the app store, but hey! There is Patreon for that :D

    Happy birthday to TFW! Love this site, an absolutely wonderful place.

    As to the future, hopefully, it has a bright one! Maybe one day it will even get an app!

    (on the subject of brightness, dark mode when?:p )
