But do you think that they would do something like that.

Thats a superb idea GSV. Thank you for the idea.

I know I do like the forums and have made many a good friend here, helped a few and expressed my days frustrations in a jockular fassion. I have used this forum on occasion as an escape from stress. And it worked. Why, I've been graced with the best there is on the net! You may not know it, but you all have helped. Just by being here.

We all have stress to vent off to some degree. A place to do that here, as long as it's kept civil of course, would be excellent!! And one heck of a christmas present Amanda (hint wink, knudge knudge)

 And the "Ready Room" is a good idea, GSV. Hopefully that and the proposed "Scratchbuild" forums will take off. I have been venturing more and more into scratchbuilding. It's always free to ask, right?

The way i look at it is  that all of us on this forum enjoy building models and talking about them .We also participate in seriouse discussions on other threads .  That last thread that Amanda (or whoever ) deleted actually was back on the topic of models the last time i posted on it . It is fun to have some "friendly bantering " on this forum with friends as long as its good clean fun . I made these statements before and several other members felt the same way in that deleted thread titled "forum friends ". That thread lasted 23 or so pages and when two people complained it was deleted . Is that all it takes ? If these two people complain thats the end off a thread ?

 It would be nice to have somewhere to post and not have to worry about being deleted or locked out just because one or two complain.
 And what do they have to complain about? If I read a thread or post I don't like, I leave it and don't come back to it. Why call someones enjoyment "jibber-jabber" or anything? You don't like it, ignore it. Don't read it.
 We love FSM and these are the best forums I have ever visited. And because of someones opinion that a thread is not to their liking gets it closed down, is beyond me.
 I may be on shaky ground. I hope I don't get kicked off the forums, but come on. There are many threads and postings not having a thing to do with models. David Voss himself has posted some recently. Amanda Bothe has posted in some. Such as? In "Odds and Ends" the post about Heavy Metal Music. I got that by clicking on her name, not by visiting that thread. Why? Because I don't like Heavy Metal music. But I haven't griped and screamed OFF TOPIC!!! Jibber-Jabber!!!
 People want to post about that kind of music? Fine. I don't care. I won't read or post about it. Some of us members want to post about "corn" or say hello, or just kid each other? No. Shut it down. XXXXX and XXXXXXX complained.....
 If I get kicked off the forums, I apologize for offending anyone. I will miss my friends terribly. I only hope this post will remain so they can see why it happened.
 From where the sun now stands, I will gripe no more. For now. All my best wishes to all.

I agree.  I feel as if i'm hijacking a thread if i ask or state somthing off-topic.  This would be a great thing

 Please? So we don't get our fun threads deleted or locked? They are not intended as anything but fun and relaxation. That's not a bad thing...
