STOP WHINING , STOP COMPLAINING.

We are still here and we are still one.

Need I remind each and everyone of you that in april of 2005 when I joined there were only 3 or 4 of us active posters.. plus Bob's alleged ghost posters..LOL (got to be an old timer to remember the accusations thrown at Bob and his fledgling site) We didn't grow because Bob built it, we grew because we enjoyed each others company about numerous topics, from sports, to tv shows, movies, and of course the dreaded political forum. And the Hobby.

Are there still Hobbyist out here everyday? OF course there is!

Trouble is we have NO CONTENT!

Let me give you a few suggestions

1. somebody start spearheading a new release topic every week. Easy to research.. goto dave ad adams and copy their product blurbs with a suggested retail price and date

AND EXPRESS YOUR OWN OPINION! THAT ALWAYS RATTLED SOME CAGES.

2. start talking about sports again. The draft, hockey playoffs, basketball playoffs, ring tossing, baseball, Frisbee golf cow chip tossing, competitive beer drinking..

IT DOENT MATTER WHAT THE TOPIC IS, OTHERS MIGHT JOIN IN!

3. Lets have a showoff showcase showdown thread, here Ill start one!
Check out my Non sport showcase showdown topic in show and tell!

NOT NOW YOU GOTTA LET ME FINISH THIS FIRST!

4. Go post your favorite movie topic and lets have a poll and let people nominate and post movies to vote on!

OK SOUND LAME BUT...

5. Write a movie review. Gosh knows I don't want to spend $11 to be the first to see Iron Man 3.. however Star Trek into darkness looks like a bad robot!

6. start a hobby talk article about an old set you liked or a set your assembling!

7. Post a wantlist for gosh sakes!
MINE IS IN MY SIG!

8. Post a political topic that will stir up debate and good clean healthy discussion with a little name calling on the side smile.gif

COME ON RICHARD YOU PROMISED!


and Im on a roll and my brain is smoking
We got to reboot this site just like a few of us booted it the first time.

It takes a team! We have a team, we just need to bring them home.

AND IN MY BEST BELUSHI IMPERSONATION..."WHO'S WITH ME?!!!"

I am not giving up till the germans bomb pearl harbor by the way! laugh.gif

I kinda do kinda don't want to be a member of the team. But if it would help out and give use a chance at getting kick started again I would take on a little bit. Maybe if I could help approve new people? I don't really want to be one that polices the site. I am not sure how exactly the sign up process even works as its been a long time, but could we maybe do something to it to make sure it kinda weeds out the spam? But let me know if I can be of some help, I don't want to take on a full load but I would be glad to pitch in a little here and there as I can! cool.gif

In order to approve members you have to have access to the whole administrative control panel (something I don't have, but never wanted it as Transactions were my baby and kept me busy enough), which usually goes only to certain veteran members on the Team as quite the responsibility. Back in the day Bob did all the approval stuff and nobody was taught any tricks to making it easier, as we had no warning of him going "poof" nor any communication from him about it either, so we was flying blind so to speak. So needless to say it is an arduous process from what I have heard, it is a huge list now to go thru as nobody has done anything with it in months (again so I have heard as I don't have access to it nor do I want it).
Sometimes you can tell by nic or email, others you can't wink.gif

That is just from the 28 members that were onsite at the time I looked, all have zero posts and from what I know are probably waiting approval. So over 1/6th of the folks online at this time when I"m on are spamming, and 3/4's of them have zero posts here. So like 6 real people or active members online with me right at this moment out of 28 (if you go thru all the nics that have been online today you will get similar results).


TCC's Cousin Itt

Looking for former Oregon State players in NFL, Steven Jackson top priority:



PC Want list for Modano, Have list for my FB PC and Trade lists for FB and HK
