Many mahalos Hanford, for creating Tiki Central! I know it has changed my life over the last 11 years... from a hobby - to an addiction - to a lifestyle. Happy Birthday, and Congrats! |

Thanks, Hanford for being the model of what a chief moderator should be and playing Dad to all us rambunctious children. You've simultaneously created a board that has been one of the best social websites ever created, yet still somehow manages to fly under the radar of my company's social network filter, allowing me to browse and post at work. Enjoy your well-earned retirement. I have a feeling I'll still bump into you from time to time at some drunken room party at some tiki event. Good choice with Hakalugi - he'll make an excellent Dread Pirate Roberts. |

"As you wish" Sabu, Hakalugi will indeed make an excellent Dread Pirate Roberts, I would bet on the Iocane powder! [ Edited by: Chuck Tatum is Tiki 2012-01-13 04:21 ] |

It's been a pleasure getting to know you as a personal friend, Hanford. I've made some very close friends through the portal of Tiki Central and for that I say "mahalo." I've also made some formidable enemies. I'm glaring at you, Ruzic. |

Happy Belated Birthday, Tiki Central!!! And Mahalo Nui Loa to Hanford for creating such a great site... Also to those who populated it with such wonderful imagery, starting from Sven for the classic era tiki establishments and fatherly guidance as to what is and what ISN'T TIKI!! To the artists and hobbyists creating their own spaces to inspire us all, to the carvers trying to keep the historic images alive and just the friendly nature of everyone here. Thank you ALL!!! Aloha! Paul |

Have thoroughly enjoyed every moment consulting the Oracle of TikiCentral. All the friendly advice about carving, and genuinely nice people. Even got to meet some of the gang at the Relighting party at Kon Tiki in Tucson. Congratulations and thanks, Hanford. |

Happy Birthday Tiki Central and a huge thank you to Hanford for creating it. Here's to many more years! Oh, and thanks people for all the kind words! Okay... now listen up folks! Hanford has left the building. The party is over and there's going to be some major changes now that Hanford has handed me the keys. First off, there will be zero tolerance for surf music, sorry, it has to go (sorry Jeff). Additionally, from now on you will all refer to me as Lord Haka. Shortly I will be resetting the Tiki Central clock to year zero as I have deemed the Tiki Revival as officially over. We are entering a new era of Tiki, a dynasty..., the House of Haka. Instead of saying "Aloha", we will say "Haka". Once a week I will expect some sort of offering from everyone, this will of course...huh? Oh, hi Hanford... okay, never-mind. You can ignore this last paragraph. Sorry about that, carry on. Once again, thanks everyone! (except Unga Bunga). |

Mahalo Hanford for giving us a place to congregate and realize there were other people besides ourselves that were into tiki. I think because of Tiki Central, this whole thing of ours can be classified as a subculture! |

Well what....!!? You're away for a day, and all hell breaks loose! Well, now it's official, we are divorced... :wink: I just wish I would have reached my 10.000st post for this, but you couldn't wait :D No really, thank you for this amazing place of congregation! It has been invaluable for my research, and a great home port for feeling connected to the source while on foreign soil. Lots of water has flowed under the Tiki bridge, and lots more will. Thank you for building and maintaining it, and thanks to all those who crossed it with me. I was looking for that Tiki Central membership card that Jennifer Thompson made, I still have it somewhere.... |

Thank you Hanford for this incredible site. I've made many new friends, learned a boatload of tiki stuff and fanned the flames of my tiki passion. Not to mention, I've gone to some cool parties. I'm a relatively new member (2 years) but I wish I had found this site sooner. |

Happy birthday TC from me too. It's been nice discovering that I'm not the only one who likes Tiki. One of my favorite things to do with friends and family is to show them this site to prove I'm not the crazy loner they make me out to be. |
