IMO its these members and others like them who make this place what it is.

Some of these members have 'put themselves out there' almost daily when members ask for help solving troubles. They offer thoughts and suggestions and they ask the questions that need to be asked to get at the info. Plus, its cool to see some of members start out asking for help and end-up with wrenches-in-hand successfully fixing their own bike for the first time!

Some of these members share their own hard-won details with posts and pictures of their own Warrior mods and repairs so others see a light in a tunnel and maybe also take-up wrenches for the first time!

Some of these members brave the world's terrain and traffic on chance-of-a-lifetime Warrior tours and international events and think enough about those who cannot attend to post awesome pictures so we can be there in spirit.

Some of these members take time to translate, and if they cannot then they track-down friends and neighbors and co-workers who speak the necessary language to help members around the world make a repair or complete a mod.

Plus very candidly I lost my list of members in 2012 who stepped-up and offered their take-off-parts free to members in-need, and I regret not having that list handy this year because it was far longer than ever before AND I only remember one member reporting the donated part ending up on eBay and imo that has to be some kind of record.

I do have one simple regret. Before I was asked to moderate I'd do a few fun give-aways each year and get other members involved in choosing who-what-when-and how. It wasn't until I started planning my Christmas give-away that it 'came to me' that some members might view a moderator give-away as a 'moderator playing favorites'. I think nearly everyone knows me better than that but in the end its not possible to do the thank-you give-away this Christmas.

So all I'm left with is the chance to say THANK YOU and to mean it in my heart. This is a great forum with great members and its hard to think of how things might 'be' without all you fuglies hanging around.

Happy Holidays my Friends and THANK YOU ALL.

You rock too Mike

And in the spirit of Christmas, I'll take any giveaways you had planned, AND I won't think you're playing favorites with me.

Very well said! I thank you as well. This is more to me than a bunch of dudes and a few women talking bikes. It's like family!

I'm not far from being fresh off the tree here, but I can say that this is, by far, the best, most active, accurate, and personable communities I've had the pleasure to be a part of.

I started off as a guy that liked the looks of the warrior, and wanted to see how you guys change them up so much...Now, Im being guided and advised on my own warrior, by just about everyone on Zona's list, and more. Iv learned 5 times more in half the time because of it.

This community is a good thing, because the people have passion... they care.

Thank you Zona and everyone on (and not on) that list for contributing.

The best in 2013 to "us" all.

ok... lets all bring it in for a group hug! HUG IT OUT!!

Thanks for.the kind words . The help this 4m has provided has been priceless.

The one thing I really liked about 2012 was how many new members that signed on!

Another thing I liked about 2012, is actually meeting members. Randy, Eric, Ali, Joey, Omar, Marty, Gazoo,
Kich, William, Rick, Matt, Bill and newwarorder. I know there is a few more.

Hope to see more of everyone next year.
