I had intended for there to be a little more fanfare for this event, but it kinda snuck up on me.
So… I’ll just keep it brief.
I am really pleased that so many of you have been enjoying my happy little hunter haven on the web.
So, here’s to keeping the lights on at The Lodge for three more years, or until Blizzard shuts off the WoW servers..! *raises mug of ale*
Thank you all for making this site what it is today. If I didn’t think I was providing something valuable to all of you, I doubt I’d have had the steam to keep plugging away at it for three years.
I’m not gonna lie… this site has been a ton of ‘work’, but knowing that I’ve been able to help so many of you to further enjoy the hunter class – and the game of WoW – has made this a rewarding and worthwhile endeavor.
Of course, to those of you who’ve made the additional effort to throw a few bucks in my tip jar… Thank You! Believe it or not, it costs me over $1k per year out-of-pocket just to keep The Lodge open and operating smoothly.
Much love goes out to all the folks who’ve helped make the Forums here such a welcome little Hunter community. Hugs and high-fives to… in no particular order: Niika, Takaas, Drach, Anj, Agio, Abbytini, Lawman, Oz, Darrwyn, Windolicker, Celika, Gryzor, Crim, Bigah and whoever else I forgot to mention. Extra special thanks to my sexy officers for keeping the forums friendly and spam free. Niika, Takaas, Drach and Anj… thank you so much! 😀
I’d also like to thank Akismet for all of its hard work since October, 2008.
Greetings…
I’ve been following the site for some time, without the habit of leaving comments, but couldn’t let this moment pass unnoticed: happy birthday! Live long and prosper! ;-]

Gar,
First of all : Awesome work and I rly hope you keep this thing going on.
I recently discovered the website after starting back on my hunter.
I have to admit, your website, the content, the interview with Garxz game me the full joy to focus on my hunter again for a 200%.
I’ve learned and improved a lot allready in the past few days only.
Thx again and keep up the great work !!!!!!

Happy Birthday Lodge! The lodge wouldn’t be the lodge without you Gar – thanks for everything you do.
A heartfelt thank you to you, Gar, for all the hard work you do providing us with such a great community!
Gar,
A simple heartfelt thanks for running your forums and site the way I believe the game should be enjoyed. A true home, filled with tall tales and sudsy laughter.
Hugs,
Niika
Great job Gar! All your effort is greatly appreciated.
Happy Birthday Huntsmanslodge!
Thanks for 3 years of great posts about huntering.
Many happy returns and thanks so much for all the effort you have put in.
Wouldn’t be the same without you Gar!
Happy Birthday, Lodge
CHEERS
Rarely do I get serious or philisophical about this game but on this occasion I wish the Lodge a happy three and am most happy I stumbled across this place year and change ago. The people who frequent this site are some of the best around.
I’d truly like to thank Garwulf for all of his help, from his great guides to showing this old Dwarf a great deal about huntering-none of which I’ve absorbed but still damn fine attempts on his part and because of that on a more personal note I can’t thank Gar enough for the endless hours of my life he’s cost me, carpel tunnel syndrome, my divorce, the loss of my business and subsequent bankruptcy. Words cannot express my appreciation for all he has done for me……;)
Happy Birthday, Huntsmanslodge!
Slainte!!
I love everything about this place! Thank you, Gar and friends!
