And anyone else I may be forgetting. Come on Fella's

With a baby coming in February, my wife and I aren't even getting each other presents this year.  I would feel bad getting someone here something (no offense to anyone!) and not anything for her.  Also, the last two times I did this, I had to get presents for people who literally only participated in the forums on the Secret Santa thread.  Glad to see that most of the names on the list this year seem to be regulars.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Couple of hours left to sign up for this years Secret Santa.  I will close the Secret Santa at noon today (Pacific Standard Time).  That is roughly in 2 hours.  WKC PM's will be going out this afternoon with your Secret Santa random assignments.

ok all you procrastinators get on this, it's a lot of fun !!

This is the best part of WKC.
Where is everyone?

Colin,  Have you looked at the stats on this site?  There are many factors as to why this site is not what it used to be, but there is not doubt about it, the WKC forum is not what is once was.

Wow, with all due respect seeing as you have been here much longer than me or most here, your lack of support and participation could be a reason.  There are some here that participate, drive interest with new ideas and welcome others.  If welcoming new members and engaging in the fun is not your cup of tea, then maybe it's time to move on.  It's the way of the world.....
Happy Holidays, noticed that you didn't participate in last year's gift exchange either.

And with all due respect back, you have no idea and no context for my statement.  I spoke no ill will of anyone or situation only to state there are many factors.  While I have my personal reasons for being less engaged(which is no ones business but mine), there are other factors at play as to why Forums such as this are a dying medium(Facebook groups, less people use PC's and forums are not mobile device friendly).  I will always be on the board so long as I am a collector of kettles, but I assure you my participation is the least of the issues as to why overall participation is waning.

@LightningBoldtz Understood.....my apologies for overstepping here.  Being a regular contributor here for the past couple years I took your comment personally and I should not have - my bad.  You have some very valid points in your response. 

I wish you and yours a happy holiday season!

Yeah forums were a dying breed in 2012 when we started
all the "good ol days" saltiness doesn't fit the spirit of WKC IMO, especially in a Secret Santa thread

Merry Christmas everyone, thank you for keeping a positive environment

I missed the signup.  This is my favorite WKC tradition so I'll organize a second pool for anyone else that still wants to join! Sign up here by Sunday December 5, all other rules will remain the same. Kudos to @Cellar2ful Jim for setting this up again this year.

@1spacemanspiff thanks, I reactivated the form since it was just a copy of an old one. Give it a try now.
