Happy Birthday TokuNation! You're out of your diapers and starting kindergarten this year! Your Mother and I are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday and congratulations on your 5 years. If it wasn't for this community, basically just reading the forums and articles, I wouldn't know about anything. I've grown to appreciate a lot about this fandom while also seeing the ugly side. Thanks for not being a part of that ugly side. Here's to many more years.

Happy 5th Anniversary, Toku Nation. :)

Here's hoping for more news, galleries, reviews, info and fun Toku-related topics in the future.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS.

I'm so grateful for this forum, it's was the port in the storm so many years ago when I was looking for a toku forum to join after I found myself not enjoying myself at other places. It's got the articles, the toy photos, the actual discussions, it's such a great place. With that said, MUCHO thanks to everyone for their hard work over the past five years. You da best!

Ah, five long years.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times since this began...



Who are you again? :P

Congrats on 5 big ones, you crazy Toku dame, you!

Happy birthday, TN, here is to another five years

I'd like to take a brief moment to reflect on my time here as well.

A little over 5 years ago, I heard the rumblings that Kickback was looking into making a site like this. He was slowly looking for volunteers in TFW2005's then current Power Rangers General Discussion thread. I thought I had missed my chance at being part of things but I guess I snuck in just at the end, and PM'd him with what little knowledge I had to offer at the time. I told him I had general knowledge of Power Rangers but especially Kamen Rider from the last decade, and could easily inform myself better as time went on. I remember it like it was yesterday. And just like that he said I was in. In the beginning we had to choose our staff names, and I just vividly recall thinking, yeah of course, it's Den-O. What better name then that of my favorite rider.

I remember when I started out here as a normal moderator. Just doing the usual stuff, checking for spam, breaking up arguments. Then Kickback started putting together a Photo & Content staff. I knew I didn't have the skills for it, not yet. But I wanted to do my best. So I took on that responsibility. Somewhere along the way I was tracking down leads for news, posting things every couple of days in the News & Rumors forum too. Then I became an official Newsie. At some point, while he was probably drunk with power, Kickback was even foolish enough to make me a Super Mod. And then using the poorest of judgment he made me a site Administrator as well. Little did he know I would secretly usurp his power and forever be known as the Secret Owner of TokuNation.

The last 5 years have flown by really. I remember when this place began, my wife (at the time girlfriend) and I were living in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment with a new dog and new jobs. 5 Years later, I own my own home and have a beautiful 2 year old girl running around my house. I've kind of grown up with this site & it's community. My life has been irrevocably shaped by my interactions with the staff and users here. I even have the two best friends of my life life to show for it with Kickback & Sentai Tamashii. I owe TokuNation everything. I love this place, and no matter what the future holds I will always be a part of it.

Jeez, has it really been five years? Man, time flies.

I feel like I should celebrate by slagging off Goseiger like I used to do in every third post back when the site launched. :lol

In any case, here's to many more!

5 years and I've been been a member of staff for 3 of those years.

I remember Kickback approached me on TFW asking me to be part of staff, which I agreed to. Even after I had registered it took him almost a month before he finally gave me the credentials needed:lol

Three years, and in that time I've published close to 600 articles for the site...
