I think that you all fell for this guy's bait and are doing exactly what he wanted.

Hardly.

A forum freshman has his feelings hurt because no one replied to his three posts, so he decides to pout, adds this post to say, "Hey, everyone!  You're all rude for not replying to me, and I'm leaving!  Look, here I go!", and departs.

Unless he's still secretly popping back in and looking, he's not getting any real attention. 

Now we're just having fun with the thread.

Didnt the 229 develop from some guy trying to explain the purchase of a $229 model to his wife

 

 

 

 

That was it, thanks for the correction.

I just remembered how that the Ho 229 came into it, including a spin off GB if i remember right.

 

 

 

 

I believe his name was Rob. No idea how the whole thing spun out of control. The Field Marshal Who Is Not To Be Named was a real pot-stirrer. I understand why he was banned but things are a lot quieter now (good thing or bad I dunno). 

 

 

 

 

His name was jeffw and the following may or may not be a tribute to the $229 kit...

That is probably my favorite episode. Funny because I had just watched that about three weeks ago, and by accident. I was flipping channels. 

I never noticed that about "City on the Edge of Forever", either!  That is cool!

By the way, I wonder if kiowhatta knows that his leaving-in-a-huff post now has so many replies that the website's paging control can't display the page numbers correctly.

Okay, you have to check this out. It is a web site dedicated to the 40 acre backlot for Desilu Studios. The backlot was used for exterior camera shots for Gone With The Wind, The Andy Griffith Show, Adventures of Superman, Star Trek, The Real McCoys, My Three Sons, Gomer Pyle, USMC, Hogan's Heroes, Miami Undercover, Batman, Bonanza, Land of the Giants, That Girl, Mayberry R.F.D, The Green Hornet.

I was fully capable of multi-tasking.

Arlene Martel...Marj Dusay...and the exquisite Leslie Parrish...that show had some of the finest of '60s TV 'babe-dom' as guest stars!

 

I'm impressed. Closest I can come to multi-tasking is walking and breathing at the same time.

To my fellow modeler,

   I had first joined, (I’m only a new modeler (2 years, possibly 3 years), I had no reply’s as well in the beginning, after my 5th post or so, I have thousands of followers.  But recently, due to medical issues with my wife (Brain Tumor, Brain Infection, and a recent brain swelling), and myself (seizures and bitting my tongue seriously of where I could not speak, eat nor sleep) I,ve also had a work related injury in 5/5/2010  I’ve had to stop all reply’s as well as posts.  I currently suffer major TBI Traumatic Brain Injury and issues with post traumatic brain and body injuries that I suffered from 5/5/2010, wow that was almost 9 years ago!

Due to this fact that I just stopped replying/posting since November, many FSM Forum Members have emailed me, sent me Models, and have sent get well cards-and Christmas cards I’ve been ecstatic about the personal care and love from my fellow FSM Forum Members.  These members are now my family!  “Do Not Give Up“ nor be disheartened by the lack of reply’s, just look at the reply’s here.  

I’ve just returned from my medical absence today, 1/17/2019, and will contribute on my last post, you’ll see what will happen.  A handfull of post and starting a new post with a new modeler, my 2 year old grandson, let’s see what will happen?  Lol!  Please have some patience, due to FSM changing their posting/replying company (I’ve had to create a screen name and a new password)!  Oh boy, I thought what a disaster.  

But with patience and perserverence, during the Christmas and New Year 2018 to 2019, celebration I knew it would be a while before I could post again.  But here I am, with my resolution now after my wait, I am as Tosh!  I was Toshi but Tosh is good enough.  See and wait is my.  I tell you once again, these members are my “Family”.  

Your Friend, From Your Family,

Tosh

Inquireing mind's , want to know......

I too would like an "In-Depth" explanation of this 229 thread ......

 

 

( just how far "Off-Topic" will this put us ?)

 

I can't recall the exact detailks and i can't find the thread. maybe someone else can, thats if it wasn't deleated. But from what i remember, someoneposted a thread related to the German Ho 229 aircraft. He got some resonses he didn't like and sort of got upset by them. This of course caused a counter reaction which lead to the thread ending up a bit like this one and 229 becoming a running joke.

Thats my memory of it anyway, but it must have been 6 years ago at least.

Ain't TV great?

As a young teenager watching Hogan and his boys I had the hots for agent Tiger played by Arlene Martel. She was one foxy lady.

I love both.

Green Acres was a good show, but I was always a Hogan's Heros fan. .

When I was a kid, one of the neighbor kids down the street dressed up for Halloween one year wearing a three-piece suit and carrying a pitchfork.

Everybody knew who he was supposed to be!

BTW--there is something about Green Acres that reminds me of my cousins and their farm. The parents were not the cleanest people. A few trips up there we were met with chickens running around the house--some even on the kitchen table. The table was stacked with dirty dishes, as was the sink. If she needed a pot for cooking--which was seldom that she cooked--she'd run to the store and buy a new one rather than clean the ones she already has. Doing wash? Good luck with that. My Dad used to joke to me about my Uncle and the pants he wore to and from the milk house. They were black--and that is not the color of the fabric. My Dad joked-- when he takes his pants off at night that he can stand them in the corner. I near soiled myself when he said that.

And scammers? Oh yes. Sadly--they scammed a few people and they were known for it. 

Yeah-- they were all great charactors. I also really enjoyed MR. Haney. That man is the best scammer in the world!

Arnold is on the right. The guy on the far left thought that he was Oliver's son.

And who could forget the Monroe brothers. Alf and Ralph. I would love to have met the witers of that show.

How about Lisa reporting to Oliver (Olivaaah) that  the refrigerator light is not working properly cause is goes off as you close the door. 

 

That's a classic, forgot about that one, Ernie.

Do you guys have any links to that story?  I've been searching but any search that includes "hobby lobby", or "hobbylobby" returns page after page of political stories.  I also searched on "hobby town", since you mentioned that chain, but still couldn't find anything.

Baron! I feel so bad! My story didn't make the news. This is just a story relayed to me from a HobbyTown employee.

This poor guy talked about getting dental implants to fix things. That won't be cheap, and we have to remember where he is working. I doubt HobbyTown has insurance. I had asked him if the Police were involved, and he said no. They both left the scene without getting the authorties involved. So, getting his mouth fixed is on his dime. It is ugly business that he'll be paying on for a long time to come.

I don't believe that the incident happened at a Hobby Town, Bakster was just refering to the gentleman as "Hobby Town guy". He said it happened in a public place, not naming anything specific location.

      Wonder how he would feel if he was the last person to post on a thread, and have no one reply after. This happens to me, I call myself "a thread killer" but I also understand that maybe my comment finished the topic or was so far out that no one new how to reply.

    I try to respect everyone here, we all have active, busy lives so looking for someone to give you feedback on as stated ambiguous at best questions well.... sounds kinda immature to me.

   No hard feelings OP, hate me if it makes you feel better, I personally will continue to enjoy the forums and contribute if I can,  or hijack a thread for fun.

Me too! I can't believe you said that. I've been calling myself a "thread killer" for at least a decade, and I thought I invented the term.

Cool to hear you and Steve have thought the same. Small world.

And yes, Stevie, I am an old grump. Scary story from Hobby Lobby. And in civilized Wisconsin no less. Geez.

 

Well gentlemen, all three of you failed to kill this thread! LOL!

Sorry, I woke up grumpy today.

You old Grump!  LOL.

To quote Rambo that quoted Von Mensteins Revenge..., " All you mugs need to get back to building." Ha!

Sorry--I woke up feisty! I was at the bench until 12:30 last night. I finally dozed off at around 2:00am. Work is really getting in the way of my fun.

Since the OP went bye bye-- here is a story that has nothing to do with this thread: 

Over lunch yesterday I went into my local Hobbytown to get some paint. I asked one of the employees for some advice, and inevitably the conversation turned to how his day was going, cuz I asked that. He tells me a ghastly story.

The short of it is that he was in a public location where he heard a guy talking smack to a girl. HobbyTown guy mumbled some comment about how he was treating her, turns to face the offender, gets coldcocked square in the mouth. At this, HobbyTown guy shows me a big grin revealing mostly gums. He lost at min 6 teeth. All the front upper and lower teeth are gone. I was stunned.

And how is your day...

No. As Strother Martin said in 'Cool Hand Luke,' "You need to get your mind right..

"What we've got here... is a failure to communicate." 

:)

The real irony here to me is that while the OP complains about recieving no or inadequate responses and everyone (including me) is commenting on that, nobody is commenting on the fact that 3 of us DID respond and WE got no reply from the OP.

Sorry, I woke up grumpy today.

What I like about this forum is we have no postwhores, no one posts on a thread to just increase their thread count. 

 

 

 

 

 

At least not anymore... there have been in the past.

 

Yes

Hi Y'all !

 I read this with some interest . I feel for the guy in that he's so frustrated .I read posts .If I don't know the product or whatever , I don't reply . This is because I know where my interests lie and my comments may come across as officious .

 Other than that if the post covers an area in any of the modeling Genre that I have done , or been involved in I will comment IF I think it will help .Otherwise I shut up and read only . T.B.

I gotta agree with you all, you can't move into a new neighborhood and expect to make friends your first week there. These things do take time and if you don't have the patience or time to invest in that, then i kind of wonder why you are in this hobby.

Stephen

My attitude changed when some say that they did reply to his posts. That, along with the nature of his posts left many compelled not to respond. They had no knowledge to impart. Then you throw in a broken website... I don't see a different outcome.

I don't know... maybe he was having a really bad day. It happens. It's too bad, mostly for him. He is losing out on a great resource on many levels.

Hello!

I don't mean to be mean here, but what the OP actually wrote, after some fact checking reads to me this way:

"People I quit because I don't like every single one of you. I posted two new threads on here and I got absolutely no answers that I read. Good bye!"

Somehow I can't get myself to feel sorry here. Have a nice day!

OK, your other two threads were started on January 3 and 4, respectively.  Four days later, you add this, your third thread, to annouce you're quitting the forum for lack of responses.

Dude, it's a hobby.  Let it help you relax.

The irony is that in this thread that is announcing he's quitting for lack of responses, is the one that's received 35 responses!!  

Yep!

Three posts total, including this one, and this one being, “I’m outta here!”... well posts one and two were: an ambiguous question, and a “warning” about a bum product that he purchased. There were responses to the warning, but its not like all active members here have something to say on that. Several looked, a few replied. That’s normal.

The question post, as I read it, was poorly phrased, and ambiguous in point. No wonder there were no replies there.

For any new guys reading this, you have to make an effort to establish yourself here. Ask questions, answere questions (please not ones that are years old), give feedback on others work, share your work, etc. So many new folks sign on, make a post or two more, then never are heard from again. There are others here, who I can’t honestly say that I have seen any of their work in ages, but they are still active helpful participants in one way or another. All I can say is that it took many posts on here myself before I felt to be an accepted part of the forum. Far more than two.

Hi, Ki

I have started only one thread in my time on the forums. It was in the General Modeling section and was titled Autism and Modeling. I got about 7 replies (a total of 15 but the other 8 replies to my thread were from me) All the replies were very helpful and inspiring.

I know that doesn't help but look at the looks to your posts. The one had over 100 looks. There are a lot of armor modelers, I for one, who might look at a Zimm post but won't reply because we're still on the fence about trying it or are dead set against trying. My Autism post had well over 650 looks but Autism is appearing more often and people see it more than Zimm. I would have liked more replies but I took strength from the fact that my post was getting so many looks and people were being exposed to that post. Sometime in the future there may be someone who will search the forums for something related to Autism and find my post. The replies may help them as it helped me or maybe it won't answer their question but they'll feel empowered to start their own thread. Also i was one of those that was locked out for a time so don't give up too soon.

Stay involved and start becoming a part of the community. Join a group build (they're a blast) or post some of your work in some of the different subject forums. Don't be afraid to comment on someone's post in General Modeling or Ready Room forums. We're all different but we all share a love for this hobby and our fellow builders.

 

 

 

 

 

I read your thread a few times but didn't comment here either. My advice was the same thing several people had already posted. Just didn't see much point in repeating it or saying 'what he said'... 

 

Gamera,

That's cool. I totally understand. I do that alot myself. Thanks for reading it.

I have a thread on here that has had 584 views and 0 replies. It happens, but, to me, it's not something to get upset over. 

What I like about this forum is we have no postwhores, no one posts on a thread to just increase their thread count. 

I recall reading the thread too but didn’t comment cause I never heard of the company so what could I have posted being a helpful response to the op? Maybe I should have posted anyway so the op didn’t feel he was being ignored? Either way I hope you stick around this forum, we have a bunch of very talented modelers willingb to help out even sometimes by offering extra decals or parts that someone may be in need of them.

This is the most helpful and friendly forum I've found though I do wish they had a "like" or even a "This was helpful" button then if you find a post you get good info from but don't really have anything to add, you can at least let the op know it was helpful to you. That would negate a persons disappointment in not getting actual responses.  

That's what the stars below the topic heading are for (below the "views" counter). People can rate the thread 1-5 stars.

Marcus, Clint, and I all responded to your post below:

http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/3/t/180868.aspx

I've been waiting to hear back from you.

Edit: Dad-blasted hotlink button.....grrr

Another edit: FSM, this thread is a perfect example why I miss the search member's posts feature. This is the only forum I've ever participated on that doesn't have it. It's a big moderator time-saver too. Hint hint.

 

I looked at that thread. I did not respond. 

Why? I've bought Royal Model figures and found them to be of excellent quality but never any of their resin ammo. I couldn't tell if his comments on the square resin blocks on the shells were the pour stubs you see on all resin products or something else. So I didn't comment. 

Hint to any new members who want responses. POST SOMETHING. It doesn't have to a great model, it doesn't even have to be finished. Many people will comment on liking it, or give constructive advice. Or just comment on someone else's build, aka 'I'm building a Monogram P-51 like yours'. Or ask simple questions like  'How did you do the NM finish?' 

Just logged on before my first tea break today; and straight away was drawn to your post. I've been reading this forum for a long time and have always been pleased when I have left after reading a number of comments, at how friendly and helpful the responses are. You couldn't ask for a warmer welcome when joining in with the guys here; it's the reason I started posting not just reading. Some of the answers you received have had me laughing out loud at the start of a day no easy thing. Stick with us you may change your mind and I will also add I couldn't login over Christmas and feel I have missed the boat on some interesting posts.

you can still find your own conversations all the way back,it’s under your discussions,if thats what you are looking for.

 

 

Once upon a time one could find all of any member's posts by clicking on the post counter below their username. This disappeared some years ago in one of the many "upgrades" (I use that term loosely)

On another note, is anyone enjoying the irony of a thread complaining about lack of responses being the most replied to for this member?

 

I saw the reply count as i just logged on this morning and already knowing the content of the thread, i thought exactly that.

I to don't recall seeing the original threads. And i am not sure how you can start several threads when you only have 3 posts, of which the opening one here is one.

Though of course, we are all adding to this thread, and chances are the starter will never see them.

Adios!

I have now replied.

I liked it because I could find my own replies to things where I'd linked something but had since lost the reference. OK, I admit, to plug holes in my own memory.

I had no useful response to offer on either count. (Incidentally, both had several replies....)

I too will often refrain from replying to a thread if I have nothing helpful to add.

There is a difference between "no replies" and "no replies that are helpful to the OP"

If you ask if anyone's used a specific product for a specific purpose, if no-one's used it then you're likely to no responses. Otherwise "I haven't used it but good luck anyway" is a complete waste of space and time.

GMorrison

Never saw any of them, Ki.

I actually saw several of them at the time they were posted. One asked for tips about a very specific product I had never used; the other was an advisory about an aftermarket resin product I had never heard of or contemplated using.

I had no useful response to offer on either count.

(Incidentally, both had at least one reply....)

Never saw any of them, Ki.

Any forum is a form of intellectual marketplace. And like any marketplace, it isn't enough simply to show up with something of value; you need to be lucky, or resourceful and persistent enough, to attract the attention of those whom you wish to reach.

Polite reponses are a fine thing...but we all lead busy lives. Sometimes inertia wins out.

As others have said, I would advise you to 'hang in there,' and contribute. It gets better.

Really sorry you feel that way but as was mentioned....you've gotta post more than 3 times kiowhatta. Hang around, post some more and see what happens. Lookin' forward to seeing you around.

kiowhatta

...I have posted several new discussion topics over the past several weeks, in fact, one was some months ago, yet I received no replies...

Unless I have read it incorrectly, your profile indicates that you've posted exactly 3 times since you joined in this past September.

kiowhatta

...What can I say? I won't be bothering with this forum anymore and will take myself to a myriad of other choices where people are polite enough to offer at least a short formal reply...

I can sympathize if you're disappointed by a lack of response.  But I can't quite agree with considering the membership rude if they haven't replied to your posts.

Sorry I missed your posts,I still couldnt locate them.I usually try to respond to posts with no answers if I can.

Oh well,I guess we will miss you and your 3 total posts

NucMedTech

Well, that kind of suxs. I am sorry that your experience on here was not what you expected.

I am sorry to hear this too. I am surprised that not even one person responded. if you want to bother--I'd be interested in knowing what it was you posted that got no responce.
