Thank you Rosie, and thank you for all your contributions here and for taking on the mantle of DMF moderator in the forum's more recent history!

Great idea with top 4 DMF moments! I may have to ponder a little..

Here are my 'top 4 fave DMF moments' !
But in 4 years I couldn't possibly choose just 4! So is it ok if I cheat a little? (webmistress privileges ).

 

1. The DMF fundraisers 

Both the 'Suspects' one fundraising for EMBRACE Child Victims Of Crime, and the more recent 'Clean Break' one fundraising for Make A Wish Ireland are faves because with Damien's help in personalising DVDs, we managed to channel fandom power into making a positive difference to the lives of young people.

2. Damien's blood donation campaign 

Damien's donating blood and raising awareness about its importance since 2012 has been a hugely inspiring thing for the whole fandom, with some fans making their own donations and saving lives as a direct result! Here on the forum it has been a humbling honour to support that.

3. Fans meeting from all over the world!

There is Twitter, and there is FB and there is Instagram and there is everything else... but then there is the Damien Molony Forum, and there is nowhere quite like it, anywhere else ! Here fans have met and found a connection via Damien's work but also become part of a wonderful, friendly, warm online family. Many have gone on to become real, good, lifelong friends in real life. I'm truly grateful to every single one of you, whether it has been briefest of moments or if you have stayed with us for the duration, and I am especiaily grateful for the genuine and much valued friends I have personally made here at DMF.

 grouphug

and finally...

4. All of Damien's work !!!! 

From the news breaking to the enjoyment of watching (or soon to be watched!), everything that I've written hundreds of posts and articles on, none of this would be here at all if it was not for a certain talent continuing share and to inspire! Stage, screen, radio and more... what a journey... and what a joy it has all been!

I'm having a hard time coming up with my top 4 faves.  I'm going to go with:

The excitement of S5 Being Human starting up, in particular the flurry and speculation from the Hal meets Lady Catherine clip:

 

The Homage to Hal competition, seeing all the fabulously creative entries and Damien tweeting when he received it:

The Twinterview Damien did for Ripper Street.  I know that was on Twitter, but the forum and fan support had a hand in making that happen.

And last but not least, the combined Gif power accumulated here.  I've laughed and drooled and joined in the fun of making them, and it's nice to find them all in one place.

So thank you domino for all you've given us and bringing us all together. grouphug

Aw.. thank you too whimsy, for being part of the journey for so long, for all your contributions and support and for being a fab mod! (and professonal thud-er!!)

I'd forgotten about the Homage to Hal book - another epic DMF memory!

Happy Birthday Forum!  My how the time flies!party.gif

Top four favorite things about the forum (no idea about the moments)

1. Interacting with so many wonderful people from all over the world. 

2. Having people to commiserate with about the loss of Being Human UK and Hal in particular.

3. Hal Chats

4. All things Damien.

Thank you for being here.  It really has meant a lot to me.

A rather belated Happy 4th Birthday to the forum!  Can't believe it's been a whole year since we celebrated turning 3...although it almost feels like the forum has been part of my life for ever!

Top 4 DMF moments?....hmmm - that's tricky!  No thats impossible....

First off has to be the moment that I actually plucked up the courage to join!!  I had been lurking here for months and really wanted to join in, but - quite frankly - the thought terrified me.  The first time I posted something I had to pace the house for ages to calm myself down.....but the response that I recieved - especially from domino - was so warm and welcoming that I came back - and it very quickly became my second home.  It's kinda hard to imagine life without the forum now....

Which leads me on to the friends I've made, people I've met and places I've been! (moments, rather than moment!)  The DM forum has to be the friendliest place on the internet and I love meeting people here to chat about Damien....and more...grouphug   It has also been responsible for me going out and meeting people in real life!  Seeing Damien live for the first time only came about through the friends I'd made here on the forum.  I've now seen Damien live a number of times (even mumbled incoherently to him once!) and have met up with those people (and the other BH bloggers) regularly ever since - in London, Northampton, Manchester and most of South Wales!  Hopefully this summer I'll be able to add Bristol to the list...  Amazingly I've even met whimsy in most of these places, and spent a day with jozie seeing the sights in Barry!  How very cosmopolitan!! 

The homage to hal has to be in this list - it was fun/agonising to do my own, and great seeing everybody else's....and I've got a lovely signed DVD..... smile

So....I've only got one left!  Before I started this list I was trying to think of specific DMF moments - but it's completely impossible to just come up with 4!  There have been so many....so much news, so many photos, so many interviews which I saw first here.  So my last one is everything else!!  ......finding Making Rosebud and Hurly Burly back when there was nothing else to watch....all the posts about BH filming and pics/stories from stage doors....Damien talking to domino on the phone.  'That' pic of uniformed Hal or the rough and tumble/putting on the ritz clips in the lead up to s5 BH.  The speculation and confirmation about Ripper Street and those first Albert Flight pics (repeat for Suspects/Kill your Friends/Tiger Raid/Clean Break/Crashing....)  The triathlon.  The pics from King Lear....the pic from A Cure for a Cuckold....etc, etc.  All the Christmas/Birthday cards.....Damien's tweets and signed goodies......

How has this all happened in 4 years?!!??

Thanks domino! smileyflowers

Yep!! THAT uniformed Hal pic.....

It still puts a smile on my face and butterflies in my stomach!  The first time I saw it was actually on twitter - but it was a forum tweet so it totally counts as a DMF moment.  Not that I can remember exactly where I was at the time....no....that would be weird..... wink

 I remember the day well fifi - Twitter exploded! There could not have been a better first photo for series 5 (but then again I'm biased)
