This forum is going to crap....

[djmr2]

Am I the only one sick of reading posts about the following?

-I'm going to a build a model. Heres what i'm getting. Pics below.
-I did XXXX to my model, what do you guys think? BTW no pics.
-Should i get this model? Should i paint it this color?

IMO it's a total waste of space! We're lucky we don't have to pay for subscription to this wonderful board yet we have people that treat is as there own personal ranting ground.

I love seeing what people are working on, final pics of their work and even discussions about technique etc. , but hereing the same old crap from people (especially newbies) is freaking boring.

YOU want a model, YOU GET IT.
You want us to judge your work, well POST SOME PICS.

[Jay!]

True!

This forum is only as good as you guys make it. If it sucks, it's your (note: collective) fault! Do something to make it better.

Pics > no pics. (:o)
No BS > BS.
Threads about models > Threads about *.

:huh: Ironic statement in a rant... j/k

[clatescivicr]

Yeah I agree. The only reason why I posted up abuot my HLJ order was that people were curious about it in the beginning. Also to show that nothing went wrong with my order when I guess people have been having a few problems with them shipping the wrong stuff.

I'm actually having trouble picking out a color because I just want more than blue cars lol But I do know there is a search function on this board and many search engines where I can find pics of the car I want to make and find out which look the best.

I do agree, having no pics is really worthless especially when talking about modeling. Even if it is a technique its a lot easier to show with pictures.

I also think some members here are trying to gain some of the more experience modelers respect, but in the end are just making it worse and flooding up the board. Also wouldn't you want to suprise the board on how it looks so you get more replies and also if you describe it too well and it doesn't come out aswell they will be expecting it to look a lot better.

As I do have a 2 big projects that i will be doing even though they will be my 3 and 4th model, but I will be taking my time with them so they come out right. I'm not posting them till I have started them to show progress... So look forward to seeing them in the next few weeks!

**Sorry for the rant, I just had to let this go and since I actually have the free time to type all of this!**

Well i know what u mean. sometimes i get excited and will post a picture of what i got from HLJ or whatever. I mean it's fine if u want to give praise and let people know that XXXX company is trustworthy or have speedy deliverys etc..

Opinions are good, that is when they're kept ON TOPIC. I don't really see the point in asking someone if I should get this or get that. In the end, what really counts is which you like the most. Or is everyone gone mad and buying kits because they're technically superior to other kits?

I think maybe there should be a better way of getting the rules clarified to newbies .. maybe a test? hehe, that would make them read it.

I did XXXX to my model, what do you guys think? BTW no pics

helloooooooooo some of us dont have digital cameras we have to describe our work as best as we can:bandit:

Gives Lownslow a clap, well at least someone knows what it is like when you don't have a digital camera. djmr2, if you have a creative enough mind you should be able to think of what people say when trying to describe their model in words, so what if they have no pics, you can't give them crap for it. Maybe they don't want a digital camera, maybe they can't afford it.
Personal ranting grounds? You just ranted about the obvious of what is happening on the board at the moment. Hell maybe some of us are too busy to post pics, maybe others post pics of their order so that people can look forward to what models that person will be building, even if they have no pics.
To the newbie fact, hell we were all newbies and we would of done the same thing, you always do when your new to a place on the internet, because you need info. If the FAQ don't have it you have all rights to ask about something in a thread. If it is in the FAQ but they ask about it anyway, don't whine and bitch to them about not reading the FAQ, tell them the answer is in there, case closed.
God damn it who cares! You mustn't be very supportive of the person building the kits with no pictures if you complain about not being able to see it. Use your imagination, be creative in thinking what it will look like, thats half of modelling anyway, those two words.

I just want to say that this is the best modeling board that i have found on the net and if the current status is crap then damn i really would have liked to see this board when it was good! I dont think many people apprecate this board and the skill and knowlage contained within.
There thats my rant on the issue

[primera man]

This forum is only as good as you guys want to make it. I've said it before, no one forces you to come here or read the posts.
I get really pissed off with people that want to moan about the site....were you all not a newbie once and posted the same stuff.
We have a whole bunch of new people coming here which only goes to show how popular it has become.
One thing i'd like to see better is the thread title. Make it clear so people know what it is about before you open it.
Posting a thread called Has anybody got........ is a waste of time. Dont waste peoples time opening it up....IMO. Ask what you want...that way people see the thread, they know it has nothing to do with them and they can move on.
Another idea i've been think about is maybe breaking the threads down into different section. Have a look at the G20 FORUM . We broke this into different sections when it started to get to big.
If we do it(which i'd have to talk about with Jay) we need to find out what sections we would need.
Example......
Intro for newbies
Painting/priming
Progress pics
Finished pics
General Questions
????????
???????

[djmr2]

yes, as we are all so creative, we will all imagine the same thing, when in REALITY we will not. Get real. Who really wants to read a forum where u have to imagine everything that everyone else is doing.
How do u expect people to respond to things like that? WOW YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB (but thats only what i imagined you did)...

all your arguments are WHAT IF this.. WHAT IF that... do you have any solid arguments?

I am supportive of people that ACTUALLY build model kits, not people that say they're going to do this and that, going to get this and that, or asking questions such as do you think it's cool if i did this.

If you want someone to support your work, GIVE them something to SUPPORT.

Posts like this make this Forum lame so please the general rule is if you don't like what some has to post them simply IGNORE THE THREAD!!AND MOVE ON!!
It's simple man this topic is getting overworked and by me posting this doesn't make it better just take a pill and relax and enjoy the friendships we have on this board. You never know what's gonna happen tomorrow or when you wake up the morning, considering there might by a major war happening.
So really is your life sooo menial that you have to bring this up and cause shit?
I'm not trying to be a dick to you but come on and grow up and enjoy this while you can. There's alot going on in the world or in your life that you should be worried about.

I think everyone is taking this board for granted and are posting nonsense. Do you remember when you'd get busy servers everytime you'd try to get to this board? We should appreciate the fact that Igor has paid big bucks to get us on a nice server without us having to pay a subscription fee. Some of the more popular forums are charging subscriptions now. Wouldn't you rather save that money to buy a new kit? I know I do.

i don't think there's anything meaninful as to what your trying to say, especially in personal attacks. The point of this thread is to really point out that there is so much junk on this forum, it's making it boring, as well it's a waste of space. It's not me that has turned it into lame thread, but it's with replies like yours. I don't think i'm the one thats taking this as emotionally as some others do.

[primera man]

This thread will stay open if the personal attacks are left out. I'd like to get as many ppls veiws as we can.
As soon as it turns to personal attacks etc, that person will be warned then banned if it continues

I think I made my point but then again please read my last sentence......I don't think you did.

Only thing in here that is annoying to me is the people who post the "Does someone make a" threads, they piss me off because being on a 56k I don't want to waste my damn time opening something only to find it pointless & boring & as something that doesn't concern or interest me.

Originally posted by djmr2 WOW YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB

I didn't say you had to say that, you could be supportive of the work they have put into doing somthing

I'm not going to say any more because 1) This is pointless anyway, all its doing is causing arguments and 2) I got better things to do. Mr Mario got it right with what he just said.
You want to stress about not being able to see some pictures of other peoples models then you go along and do that.

You just summarized the points i am arguging. Meaningless and Pointless threads is whats going to cause this board to shut down eventually or at least turn into some sort of subscription board. Maybe u don't realize it, but not everyone has the money to give away to every website they visit.

I didn't say you had to say that, you could be supportive of the work they have put into doing somthing

I said already that i do support people that make MODELS, not pointless saying they're going to do this and that with no progress. You should have actually read what i wrote.

i think your not going to discuss like civilized people discuss things, is because really, you've got no convincing arguments.
