Thanks very much Fred! It took longer than expected, but we're very excited with the end result. We hope trimmers from all over the world will join and help us to unite the industry.

Thank you for making this. Could you make a section or post for newbies. I'm learning as I go but sometimes it's great to touch back on the simple things that got us all started and confused us in the beginning. Thanks again I can't wait to read as much as I can and learn from some great trimmers on here.

Great idea Dan. I just created a new category called "Beginner Questions."

Congratulations guys! This is a great accomplishment. The Hog Ring has become an increasingly important tool for our industry, and this revised forum is a very important moment. I'm really proud of you and your dedication, and I am here to help if I can. Thank you so much! --Jim

Thanks very much Jim! We appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Nadeem, I've been missing the inside scoop about our profession that used to be had through print (Auto Trim News) but I have really enjoyed this site since you brought it online. As an Instructor, I don't get to be involved in the day to day of dealing with trim shop issues so this gives me a chance to stay up to date with some of the issues fellow trimmers run across so that I can share them with students. Thanks again!

Thanks for doing this! I admit I haven't been around the forum much lately. I will use it more now that its industry private and mobile friendly!

I am so glad that the forum is back. It offers us such great opportunities to learn from each other and to help each other. I love so kind of networking - unfortunately, my English is not so good. Therefore, I always need some time, but will help where I can

Thanks everyone! We're really excited to have it back too

Thanks Charles, Natalie and Jens! We're glad you're members of The Hog Ring!

Naseem and Nadeem thanks for all the hard work and time you two put in this site. Y'all are great ambassadors for this industry!

The ease of inserting links and images and the way they look when they're published is a great improvement. Good job!

Well done Naseem and Nadeem you guys have smashed it out the park with the new website and new forum you can really be proud of what you have accomplished, you do so much for the industry i hope one day i can repay you in some way.

If you ever visit my neck of the woods over in the UK let me know i will do what i can to show you around.

I agree. Great work and I love the new forum format. Thank you for providing us with such a great resource to network with other trimmers and industry professionals. 8-)
