Hey Jing! Welcome! :text-welcomewave: :happy-cheerleaderkid:
I see you posted here twice. Were you worried you hadn't done it right the first time? Don't worry. On this board one of the ways we keep spam free is subjecting people's first 5 posts to approval before they go on the threads. So basically your posts were in a kind of limbo till I approved and liberated them earlier today.
It's great to see you. Do post more. :text-welcomeconfetti:

Hello,
Sadly we'll say good bye to Bones tonight but when one door closes, another opens so the best is yet to come! Here's to friendship, happiness and love.
I'll for sure miss seeing the KING OF THE LAB!

Hello everyone,

my name is Daniela from Cologne/Germany. After visiting the site for a while already, I finally registered here. (Amazing site btw, I love all the details and the content).
Past weekend I had the chance to see T.J. for the very first time at the ComicCon in Frankfurt, which was "the impossible dream" for about 12 years to me. I can´t believe his kindhearted personality that made each Fan very welcome and appreciated.

It´s really cool to meet other Fans here. :) If you´d like to know something, feel free to ask :)

Hello everyone,

this is Daniela from Cologne, Germany. For some reason the post didn´t work for me yesterday, so I try again. I visit the site already for a longer time and love all the stuff and Details about T.J.! Past weekend I had the opportunity to meet him at the ComicCon Frankfurt for the very first time, something I never dared to hope in the past 12 years. Honestly, I can´t believe his kindhearted, open minded personality to strangers that made me and everyone else welcome and appreciated. I will treasure this day in best memory for good!

I hope to meet more Fans here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Hi Daniela, and a huge Willkommen! It's so great to see a new member posting.
The reason your first post didn't appear instantly is because it has to be approved by me as moderator (that's the case with the first five, it's a security arrangement which has always worked well). If you have a quick glance at the rules at the top of the page it will reassure you.
Everyone is absolutely lovely here, it's one of the best forums I've seen, and the rest of the site is fantastic. Really hope you enjoy exploring it all - see you soon!

:text-welcomewave: Welcome, Daniela! So glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience at the convention and with meeting TJ. (Of course, we expect no less. TJ is such a good guy, always so positive.)

If you'd like to share, what was your day like at the convention? What types of things did you get to do? Did TJ speak publicly to a room full of people, or was it just a signing and photograph sort of experience?

Thank you both for the nice welcome. I´ve seen the notification about the post approval after my second try, Steph. The first time my browser shut down right after posting for whatever reason. Sorry for any inconvinience. It´s totally fine and a senseful rule.

Yes, sure Sherry, I´d love to share a little summary about the day. :) Shall I post it under the ComicCon Frankfurt thread?

Hi Daniela! So so pleased to see you again. At this rate you'll be through your 'probationary' period in no time! Let me stress that you are not, and never could, cause or be an 'inconvenience'. New arrivals and another chance to talk about all things TJ-related are a delight to us.
Please do write a summary of your meeting with TJ in the German ComicCon thread. I'll be desperately jealous, as I had to miss the chance to see him a few miles away from where I am, but it would be lovely to read another account. And feel free to post anywhere else you like. Or we could talk on the ChatBox if you arrange a particular time to be around. I'm in awe of your English, but all our European friends here seem to have a mastery of our language which remains frustratingly unreciprocated and in many cases unappreciated elsewhere (hier bestimmt nicht, bin doch Deutschlehrerin!).

Alright, I will post my summary in the ComicCon area then. I am sorry to hear that you wasn´t able to see him but I am sure there will be another opportunity. Patience is always the worst enemy in that case! Don´t give up on it, I always called it the "impossible dream" myself until past saturday.
Du bist Deutsch Lehrerin? Das ist cool! :) Thanks for your compliment about my english but I still struggle with grammar often enough. It´s just easier to correct it when you write instead of when you speak. ;)
What exactly is the chat box? I am still trying to become familiar with the board. Is it a Thread? I am mostly online during the evening between 9-10 german time or even a bit earlier if you want me to. During the day it´s sadly not often possible.

Hello Daniela, I am not sure if a "welcome" from me is the right word, as I haven't posted anything in years and haven't been much around at all - just read some things sometimes.But I remember that is really a nice community with lovely people. I think you will love it here.
I am way behind with Bones (season 9 was the last I saw). But I see it positive. I really have plenty of things to look forward to.
The chatbox is the frist "Thread" - ganz oben, bevor das TJ Forum mit Bones, Welcome etc. beginnt. When more people are online at the same time, you can have a little "live" Chat if I remember it right :)

Genau!
Thank you Lonia, I was just about to tell Daniela that myself. Can I say how great it is that you are back posting?
You are very lucky still to be watching earlier seasons. I will miss regular Bones a great deal.
