discussion 'Never in the field of human model making have so many been invaded by so few.'

Colin.
It does seem a lot, I would think about 30 regulars. The majority of whom have turned up here. Just a happy bunch of modelers, joining another like mined group .
We will all settle in seamlessly.

Absolutely John. As I posted somewhere else, I'm looking forward to it all. The Sainsbury's / Asda merger have nothing on us.

As John says, the active element on Mil Mod was very small compared to the total membership. There were lots of lurkers, who never posted, but that core of around 30 kept the thing going and they seem to be the ones who have migrated here. A lot of members on the Mil Mod site joined years ago and had not been active for a very long time, so don't worry.

Hi , I've just been back and counted the replies to my "moving to" post approx 34 plus's those like you , Jim, Pete and Ron who were already here.
People would join, then do a couple of posts and disappear. Just managed to contact a new member who had only posted a couple of times and saw yesterday that Ron Glass had turned up here. Another who likes a respectful site .

Martyn mentioned 17000 more than 10 times Lol. Active members is another story. The site is still up by the way.

I was active on the MilMod forums several years ago, then left, and decided to take a look there again not long ago. Just as I’d kind of settled in again, they announced it’ll close …

now, too. perhaps a hoax to clean house?

 

[Guest]

hahaha! maybe! 30 active, 70 occasional, 100 spy's from missing lynx, 800 deceased, 16000 2nd, 3rd and 4th sign up's from existing members because they forgot their password.

Spot on Ev. Just noticed that the 'Latest Threads' list has now gone from Mil Mod - too many adverse comments? Anyway, the real beginning of the end it seems.

 

[Guest]

It's been very upsetting. I guess the only way to get through it is to have a laugh.

 

[Wouter]

Yeah...the end is near...still, leaves me with a sour feeling. Wasn't too active last couple of months (but at least I managed to finish something finally - for the magazine even!) but was coming back and than suddenly...nothing anymore...

Indeed members and even the active core renewed from time to time but the general sentiment and way of treating fellow modellers remained. All those old interest threads and bookmarks will be lost. (which makes it even more difficult for me, because when I write an article in general I re-read my threads to remember how I did things). Oh well, nothing lasts forever.

Well, hopefully this forum does

Cheers

Yes I heard something about that in the hall ways. That would be jolly good news!

Does anyone know if Ron Lebert has made the jump across, I'd like see the Henschel finished?

 

[Jim R]

Good question Brad. I have always enjoyed his amazing work. He would enjoy things here I'm sure.
Jim

 

[Guest]

Jim, :thumb2:
He would be missed, hope someone can contact him and ask if he would consider it.

 

[scottie3158]

I did send Ron an email saying where we were going so hopefully we will see him on here. I know he does post on ML as well.
