Best overall manufacturer of any type or scale?

Hi;

    Not to be facetious but look in the Mirror. It's right between your ears! The ones to make the job easier came from there by other folks out there. You employ them to enable your mind to see the beginning, middle and finish of a project. A pair of pliars or tweezers just lays there if you don't pick them up.

Tojo I agree. Seems like trolling, although harmless.

And TB what you say was exactly my first thought.

well, it’s either that or he dredges up a bunch 16 year old threads like last week...

I didn't want to be a trouble causer and have been biting my tongue for months, if not longer on this.

I wonder how many controversial threads that have resulted in bans and member mass-exoduses have been started by the OP?

This has been so obvious for so long, no way it should have been allowed to go on, nor should it be allowed to continue.

Thanks for sounding off, Tojo, and for everyone else for chiming in.

...Thank you for noticing. I have seen that these forums have had little in the way of new postings and then very little participation. I have wanted to generate interest and participation for the overall enjoyment of all...

If you want to generate interest, in a scale modeling forum, build a model and post it.

Here's a question you could ask everyone, too, to gin up interest....

"Well, while you're trying to answer that question, I'm going to slip out of these wet things, and into a dry martini!"

WOW!

modelmaker66 you took that from idle to redline pretty quickly.

I'm out then! Let this forum rot. No matter what good somebody wants to do, there are always people to tear it down.

Exactly. Start a work in progress thread on some project of yours. If you feel really bold, organize and run a group build. Either one can generate plenty of new activity. But dredging up long dead threads, or posting simplistic questions, particularly on non modeling related and potentially contentious topics, will not garner much activity or support.

Granted, this place has been quite slow lately. Many old members do not post much at all, or have reduced their activity here. It is what it is. It usually passes. 

But build something, post your work, invite folks to look and comment as you do so, and you will generate conversation here. After all, the primary reason that we are all here is our shared love of this hobby. It’s not for sports, politics, gardening, jobs, etc. Yes, there are other long running discussions: books, movies, science, etc. but they often have tangential relation to at least our favored modeling subjects.

I'd estimate your ban will hit in about 8 hours.

These forums get slow around this time of year because it is Summer.  Most folks are out doing stuff, building models or on vacation.  It will pick back up.  I am pretty sure we dont need to generate interest in the forums.  

I would agree with previous posters.....Build something, Post it, Start a WIP thread (I have had 2 so far and only been a member since the beginning of this year).  Just keep building and it wont matter if there is interest on these forums.  Modeling will NEVER truly go away

Oh, fer cryin' out loud!

Kind of ironic that this is posted under the subject heading of "Tools"...
