Wow, so hard to believe that it’s been 16 years. I am honored to have been a part of this, and sometimes I am humbled by what it’s become. For me, I have a ton of memories, from the day I joined, the first post I deleted as a moderator, mining the forums posts literally minutes before it crashed never to be brought up again.

 

Special times for me:

• The time I banned everyone in a topic about college football,
• hung Christmas lights on the top of the forum for the first time. 
• Had a logo contest and the awesome creativity everyone had
• providing awesome RedSquare hats where my whole family pitched in in packing and mailing each one
• My signed RedSquare banner prominently displayed in SteveBo’s amazing barn
• Realizing just how generous you people are, specifically with Max Nunn (rest in peace little guy)
• The friends I have met and friends I have not.

But the most enjoyment I get out of this place, is hearing YOUR stories about RedSquare, so please share them

21,108 Posts ago, I never imagined I’d be in this deep all these years later!  Thanks Mods, members, and supporters for making RedSquare part of everyday life!  I remember leaving Uncle Jim’s plow day or the Portage show maybe a few years back, and @stevasaurus told me “See you tomorrow”, knowing we’d both be checking in here the next day, no matter what state we were in.  I remember too, at Scott’s meet and greet, a fella loaned me his hitch so I could try my hand at plowing, and sorry guy I still don’t remember who it was now!  All the friendships, hospitality and knowledge gained here make it worth checking in every day!  As the Dino stated… “See ya tomorrow!”

As far as any type of social media, this is the only one I use!   Except for FB Marketplace for parts and tractors.  This seems to be about family and friends, and helping one another.  There's nothing like it in the world.  Thanks for providing this platform.

A welcome and treasured oasis. Well done, all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RED SQUARE !!   Been here for a long time. joined in October 2008.  I've seen a lot of come and go, and sometimes when I read old threads...I see that I posted in them.  Usually, I remember when I did that, but it is also cool to go back and see the members that have disappeared that I have met and started with in Red Square.  Some of those guys have come back.  Some have passed.  Some of us are still hanging in there.  Anyway, Red Square has been a large part of my life, and I would not change a thing.  Thank You and Happy Anniversary.

And then there's that fruitcake 🐻 ebinmaine....

 

Had to check.. I joined May 6th, 2017.  

30,193 posts later    this site still tolerates me. 

 

Having met @nylyon Karl in person I can honestly say he's/your a great guy and great to talk to.  I've also had the pleasure of meeting @stevebo and @Sparky a time or two each. Super cool peeps. 

 

 

I'm proud to be a Supporter here on

 

 

From the beginning I've been made to feel very welcome. 

I'm a huge fan of the generally positive aire of the site. 

Also appreciate the willingness to share information on tractors yes, and everything else. 

The mass of knowledge here is incredible.  

 

As stated by others  Redsquare is my ONLY social media site.  

Trina and I are very much DIY people. We'll try most things related to home and yard repair and maintenance except electric or plumbing. No need. We have great connections for both of those. 

@JCM "plunge" is a world class  plumbererer  ... thanks for the help you've given us there my friend. 

The BBT and I have posed many a question here about many a subject. Always gotten the right advice. 

 

 

I've been to a few Meet N Greets and even had a couple here. Bunches of fun.  It's very interesting to see the folks we know of as a handle or username. 

We've made quite a few good friends because of this site.  

 

 

Trina enjoys all you folks busting my chops because "she does all the work."

 

She also appreciates all the virtual camaraderie because I can pass all my thoughts and crazy ideas by you all instead of her.  🤪🤪🤪

 

And she wants you to know she really likes sharing all our "adventures" especially with folks that maybe can't get out to have those kinds of fun.  

 

 

Thank you. All of you.   

 

EB and BBT.

Thanks to all who make this such a wonderful (and useful) place.

Found Red Square in 2006 after a change in my marital status and finding myself back in my home alone in one small den with a light on stumbling with no direction on what to do. Not being a computer person I did find this site with under 30 members but had no clue about signing in nor did I want to complicate my life so I thought. So glad I finally signed up in June 3 2012 and never looked back. Can't believe what I have learned and the people I have met both on here and in person at the September Meet & Greet here in Maine. One of the best things I have ever done. Patti has even signed up too. Eric and Trina, what can I say but dedicated to RS for sure along with many others. Thank You all for taking me out of a dark place and heading me back on the straight and narrow road. Life is worth living when you are surrounded by so many talented individuals. God Bless You All.

Newbie speaking here 

 

I joined not even a year ago but hope to be around here for a loooong time.

I've joined other forums before this one but they all kinda bled out. Very few posts, not really wanting to share information, clashes between mods and users and what not.

How very different the vibe is on this place! Excellent content, new and useful information every day, very organised structure, incredible database and lots of fooling around 

 

Glad I joined and thank you to the ones who created this place and keep it running.

Also thank you to everyone i've communicated with over the past year, for all the tips and tricks i've learned and all the compliments received 

 

Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

  I joined in 2012 after getting my first Wheel Horse purely by chance. I knew nothing about them, found this site and know a bit more now. 

  Through Red Square I got to meet other owners here in the UK, who I now call friends.  Also have made others over in the States, who i've not met but am in regular contact with via Skype.

  So many thanks to Karl, mods and members. Thanks again.

After learning about Red Square at the big show, I joined in 2010. Honestly thinking it wouldn’t amount to much however I was totally wrong. I don’t do any social media other than this site, my wife calls it my Wheel Horse Facebook! I’ve met several nice and super knowledgeable people here. I remember back in the 80’s thinking “I wonder if anyone else loves these tractors as much as me?” Well, as it turns out yes! So many “Salt of the earth” kind of people here. I plan on sticking around here for a long time, thank you to the administration and moderators for keeping this site perfectly the way it is! God Bless ❤️
