Second bit. Forum problems.
I did ask the moderation team to consider the problems which are concerning many members.
The forum depends and is dedicated to model making that is the paramount reason for its existence and why it does so well as a leader in any forum model making or any other forum that I have seen.
Recently there have been times where we have had the first page littered with jokes and on the go. Look in and they are there. Every reply to these goes to the top off the leader board. You may say so what the problem is that and chat are dominating the forum. Tail wagging the dog.
Just yesterday by accident in looking for an article I came across on the third page an unanswered question on compressors from a member. So what must they have thought missed in this forest of jokes etc..
Visitors. What will they think visiting to find a lot of the first page jokes. Nice place they will think but I came here for model making.
Jokes and chat are fine but without model making this Forum will be dead.. Jokes are an off shoot not the main theme.
I have been here near four years so I know this forum I searched out as a beginner and arrived here. But in the last two months I have taken two intervals of two weeks away from this forum as I was sick and tired of what was going on. I even joined another forum but loyalty drove me back in hope.
So model making should be the priority that is not to say we sit on fun and daft remarks. So it seems to me we should have the model making main room. If members want to chat and joke they're should be a cosy room to visit. One that comes up on the main index page as The Chat Room which then leads to another index page showing chat and jokes separated from the Model Making Part.
This it seems to me will serve all purposes and keep all happy.
The main theme here is we are all Friends are we not ? We can argue the point kindly agree disagree but remain as is the British way friends.
