AF is just going through a quiet patch at the moment. As chrismcgee said, just wait until the colder weather comes and more people will leave the sunbeds and pub beer gardens and return to the hobby.
Here in the UK we don't get enough good weather, so when it comes we have to make the most of it As a result modeling tends to come second best. Just be patient, I'm sure normal service will be resumed shortly.

Instead of waiting for somebody else to build something I want to see, I build it myself. As stated earlier, "Nothing is exciting 100% of the time."
I myself have about 15 different projects going right now so when the server does return to normal, I will have plenty of stuff to post. I think I've proven that I build in a variety of styles. I'm even going to attempt a rally car! :22yikes:

Yeah, AF has been a bit low on the activity scale, but I think it's mostly because of the server issue. And during the summer people take their vacations and whatnot, so modeling time is sparse for most. I'm sure things will pick up soon. New server, hopefully. And there's quite a few new kit releases in the coming months, so that should provide lots of upcoming discussions.
AF has got good variety. Sure some cars or types of cars get built more, but that's what the members want to build, more power to them. And in terms of tips, FAQ's, and overall helpfulness, AF is unmatched. AF is completely responsible for my getting pulled back completely in the hobby. I've gone from having 2-3 kits in waiting to nearly 20, and I have stacks of wheels, other add-ons, PE's, etc, stuff which I never bought before. Oh, and the new airbrush and compressor. So I say, long live AF. It'll never be boring for me. |

Re: AF - A little Bit boring?
Quote:
I build different things, a Camaro with an Oldsmobile engine etc etc with new style rims and things like that is different to the things that are commonly built on here. I try to provide a few models that are completely different to what 'everyone' has like a boring R34 Skyline. I'm not as stupid as you think but I am smart enough to state an opinion that is widely felt in different ways by different people, boring people like being bored, so they keep building the same as everyone else. Anyway I hope I haven't caused any means of harm Pman. Again I also state that I provided the Lay it low link so that people can see some different models, we don't get stuff like that on here, come on use your head On a different note I never said AF was boring just seeign the same thing over and over and over again is boring. The whole idea of modeling to me is to be creative, the same bloody model with the same SAS bodykit and huge spoiler is the same as all the others. Hiroboy builds his models very different to other peoples and that is great, why can't we get some individuality on here? Not another red Enzo Or blue Skyline Or silver S2000 or Silverado with a lift kit Once again, |

I have to agree with Purpura...almost everyone has built a Skyline (well, I haven't. at least not yet!! ) and posted it!! You have to admit that it gets a little boring .. But on the other hand, people build kits for their own pleasure, at least that's what I do. And I have to say that AF is the one and only responsible for bringing me to this hobby! Oh, and another thing...That LIL site you showed us...I don't mean to be rude or mean or anything like that, but THAT is a boring site...

I got the same opinion as Purpura... AFs been gettin reeeaaaalll boring and reeeaaaalll slow lately... all people build is skylines, and civics, and wrxs. It's all ricers and racers. I'm on Lay it Low as well.. and it keeps me interested for a lot longer than this site. Maybe its just because I like lowriders, (and am just starting to build one), or i dont know. Ah well, I'ma probably stay on both of these sites... Lay it Lows my favorite though
But that's just my two cent.

You have not looked very far. There are threads here on race cars, hot rods, muscle cars................. |

All I be saying is that I personally don't find AF very very interesting any more, seen too many bloody skylines and shit like that. Women are screwed up to! I got to go I am too high for this shit

Well, if it's not good enough for you - feel free to click this.. No one is forcing you to be here. Instead of whigning how boring this forum is why don't you show off more of your models.
As for individuality - I'll build a red Enzo because i don't have a red Enzo in my collection, I'll build a blue Skyline because i don't have a blue Skyine in my collection. There's a [point when trying to be individual becomes too conventional. I enjoy looking at all models that are well executed. You don't like building Civics and Skylines? Who's making you to? Build something else and show it here. Most of you whigning in this thread haven't been here long enough, and I'm yet to see a single model by some of you.

To me, AF seems fine. I don't post as much (but still read) since school has started, and my models aren't top priority for me either, it always seems to end up being school work... ugh... A good bunch of the builders here goes to school, so this is probably one of the things that's slowing the activity of the Modeling forum, but I'm sure once everyone gets buckeled down with their classes, I'm sure there will be more posts.

Reckon somebody should head over to LIL and post a "This Forum is Boring" thread there too. And please to the guys who keep using the phrase "ricers and racers", cut it out! The two do not belong in the same sentence.

You've never liked any of my opinions have you? I thought you looked like a pretty cool guy when I first got on AF but you are turning out the complete opposite to me. This thread has turned into a damn warzone because some of you can't seem to get over how great you think AF is, I wasn't asking for a bloody text based war. I was just stating my opinion, didn't think so many people would be so negative. Holy crap, I've only stayed on here for the past few months because I've met some really nice people which aren't stuck up (Thankyou Antonio for being such a bloody champion!) I thought that you were encouraged to share your opinions, but with hostility like this it's no wonder that people don't do it alot. |
