When the site goes down...

Like everyone else, I was AFless yesterday and it depressed the crap out of me. I took the extra time to finish my Civic and do some things around the house, but then I had an aweful thought.

What if the site never comes back online?

Needless to say we would all survive, but where would you go? What other forums do you guys visit? I'd love to be able to track this group down in the event of an emergency and we all got scattered through cyberspace.

:hehehe: HAHAHAHA me too. I was really looking forward to checking out AF after a hard days work. I was so pissed off when I found out it was offline. Are there any other modelling forums you guys go to in case of an emergency?

...I go pissed.

I wasn't depressed , but it sure was not very nice to be without it, see it as something missing out of my daily routine!
I surfed through the Briansmodelcars (http://www.briansmodelcars.com) web page, but hey, nothing beats AF, besides I hate the fact that the BMC page is so axed on modelers only doing American cars.

there is also worldofpacrim.com
I think there is just imports in there

Don't joke about the American cars, sometimes I think on BMC, if you're not building a muscle car, you may as well not exist.....

As far as how I spent my day.......at my model table....got a load of long overdue stuff done too :)

when AF went down i got super pissed:mad: they soulh at least let us know ahead of time.

but when AF is down i chill out at the Hobby Heaven Board(www.modelcarkits.com)
or
have fun at newgrounds.com or read some fark.com

i dont like the BMC format so i rarely attend it

i just bitch and moan till it comes back.................







:flipa: :finger: :D not
i just try to keep myself busy, but it never really works ou:(

Yeah I was super mad that it was offline, and to make matters worse it was offline for longer than they said it would take! :confused:
Anyway I was so confused by not having AF, I started on a 1/35 scale tank model!! :finger:

Scott

worked on my site. :cool:

Like always. Should go back behind my bench though and finish that SLK now.

I was thinking the exact same thing!:bloated:

Go back to the old stomping grounds at the cartalk.cars.com forums, most members here would be eaten alive over there though...

I got some rest without AF and finally worked on a model again!:eek: Most of my projects are stalled indefinitely due to lack of enthusiasm:( I sometimes check out Hobby Heaven's message board but I don't post there due to the way import models are treated there:mad: . Without AF, modelling just ain't the same! I search through other modellers' sites and get my fix that way. I check out Automotomover and a few others but that's about it. I'll shut up now:)

I managed to catch up with alot of other work around the place.
Got the lawns done, some garderns cleaned up and washed both cars.

The next day i thought id clean up my collection (bad move !!)
I spent 7 hours cleaning and waxing my models.
They still manage to get dust on them, but after yesterday i have sealed the doors up in my display cabnet.
Got around 50 cleaned, stil what i still have around 50 left to do plus 4 others on my display turn tables.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :(

i rarely post an import there(got bashed last time), but they wont bash my chopper these both sites are like

Ying and Yang the cant combine but they work togheter

When the site goes down ..... I work :D

I browse AF at work ( I haven't the web at home ) and when I saw it offline on monday I was mega-pissed :( . I had to justify my salary and to work a bit.

The only other forum I visit is www.flat4ever.com but there aren't so much threads.

:D Now theres an idea when AF's down!!!

Man, I've gotten so used to my daily dose of AF - its terrible when its down!!

Maybe I missed something, but why does AF go down every now and then? Sometimes it says it'll be right back, and other times it's just plain gone.

Looks like this was a timely topic of interest. Glad to know I wasn't the only one Jonesing for some AF! :smoka:

I was most interested in other sites you visited while AF was down. Like I said, if AF were to ever "shut its doors" I would love to be able to track some of you down. Just me and my doomsday paranoia I guess! :D
