A couple of weeks ago I saw some posts on ATF that were along the lines of 'why is there no site dedicated to Revell kits'. After thinking about it for a while I decided to do something about it. So if you're into Revell kits (any genre) then visit RevellAtions. I only opened up shop today so there's not a huge amount to look at as yet, but give it a look in and contribute if you can. I'm hoping to start up a 'History of Revell' sub-section, so if this is something where you might have any sort of resources available your input would be very welcome. peebeep |

I am somewhat confused .Why is it neccessary to invent another web site? Surely this site needs all the patronage it can get , one only has to look at the responses that you get on the threads here to see that not many bother to respond and appear only to be passing thru. Could you not have integrated this new aspect into this Site.If nothing else to give it more. Or are we to read between the lines and this site is to be discontinued.

Nothing of the sort El D. L & C has its own dynamic and it would be inappropriate to try and incorporate a manufacturer themed forum into it. L & C also caters for folks building kits from a variety of manufacturers and gives them the opportunity to exhibit their work at a variety of shows in the UK, primarily at Scale Model World. I started up the Revell forum because a number of people expressed surprise that there was no dedicated Revell website and it seemed like a reasonable idea. It was pretty much on a whim and I didn't expect much of a reaction, but it seems to have pressed all the right buttons with a number of modellers. peebeep |

Well Ive given it 24 hours and there are no responces to this thread. I find that perverse and non reassuring . A few observations for the moment the site you have chosen is better than this one ,for one it has a search feature. It has a better layout You seem to have a lot of activity compared to this one therefore your main interest is elsewhere than this site. No I dont understand any of it. |

El D I replied yesterday, but I obviously cannot speak for the other admins. I'm more committed to L & C than anywhere else and I'm a member on several forums. RevellAtions came about because a few people from elsewhere questioned why there was no Revell dedicated site and it seemed like a reasonable question. It took me about 20 seconds to register a new forum and about an hour to set it all up whilst I was listening to the cricket on Sunday afternoon. I did not 'choose' another forum, I created it and I am technically the owner. There is no conspiracy to undermine L & C! The software is that which was originally used to create L & C, because, to be perfectly honest, now that I've had the opportunity to look at and use InvisionFree and ZetaBoards I prefer InvisionFree. That is not to say ZetaBoards are without merit and there is a search facility, you should be able to see it on the menu bar below the logo. If you have any suggestions to improve the layout here, please PM me and I will look into it. There has been a lot of activity initially on RevellAtions because people were signing up and putting up initial posts. It has already died down, something that I would have expected. I will try and be a bit more pro-active here, but really, activity on the board is down to the members. We have nearly five hundred members and to be honest I'm puzzled why so few people join in. peebeep |

It would be nice like to see some responces from other admin people.Please. Pro or con. From the start Ive been running under Aquatica(my choice) when running under that one there is no search facility.(Just found that out) Switching to IPB 2.0 right now. Yes it is strange that more people do not contribute more.Which is why I have contributed a bit more to enspire a reply .You only have to look at the space shuttle thread ,for the last few weeks ive been typing to myself |

Thankyou for your loyalty Eldorado, it is nice that you feel happy to be that loyal to us here at L&C. I think you might well be in a cast of one though, because most people look at a lot more than one modelling d=site or forum. It is natural for any forum to wax and wane. Some die out altogether by themselves, some just have quiet periods, others don't seem to be affected at all and maintain a good level of activity year round. For what it's worth, I don't think L&C is going to die any time soon, but being a smaller forum, we do seem to suffer in the summer from a lack of posting. I have to agree with peebeep with reference to zetaboards vs invision pro, but it seemed like the way we needed to go when we did it, and we cannot undo the changes - so we must now make the best of it I'm afraid. Hope we have set your mind at ease somewhat, Jen. |

Thanks for a reply just to clear a point I do go on and read other sites but ALL my modelling activity has been directed here and I dont belong to any other for my own sanity.

Like you Eldorado, mine main focus is this site. Well it would be, being a founder, mod and branch chairman. However that doesn't stop me participating in other sites such as ARC and European Modeller. And whilst I have joined Revell-Attions, it won't distract me from this site. Plus Paul's new site concentrates only on Revell. So a lot of my builds won't be relevant there as they are by other manufacturers. This isnt a pre cursor to any sort of change for L&C either. We don't have a massive membership or hundreds of posts per day. But in our defence nearly all the registered members post and these post, are in the main, modelling related. Unlike a certain other site which brags about having 7,000 members but less than 100 post regulary and then not about modelling. We are also an IPMS chapter, therefore how this site is ran is dictated by you, the members. Not by some faceless mod. In fact if you put yourself forward and secure enough votes you could well end up running L&C one day. In fact with a loyalty like yours I would be very surprised if you didn't. I also think it's nice to see new forums popping up, just goes to prove the hobby isn't dead. Nige. |

Thanks for replying cop ,dirty Harry,Admin 3 ,Nige (cor more alliases than Jason Bourne .However my favourite film). I just thought at the time that if admin 2 declares that they are now going to be doing a lot of moonlighting ,It set the alarm bells ringing. Suppose you were on a coach trip to the south of Italy going to Rome (done that )and just before you enter the Brener pass the driver says ,hang a minute Im just going to drive this other coach to Berlin but dont worry I will be back to drive your coach.I just wondered how long anyone would sit there and wait and keep saying , OH the drivers coming back soon......Just a thought. But as already pointed out I'm a cast of one ,and will adopt a stand down roll and just observe. And save my ammo for the day I can use it to say ,"Told ya".

It ain't gonna happen, believe me. I've invested considerable time, effort and some of my own money in getting L & C up and running. So have the other admins. There is more to L & C than just this forum which I'll be demonstrating on Sunday when I haul my arse 70 odd miles to Milton Keynes to set up a table for Automodellismo. There's other things I could be doing on Sunday, but I made a commitment on behalf of L & C and I will be honouring it. The idea that I might be 'moonlighting' when I spend whole heaps of my time keeping an eye on this board, making sure it runs smoothly, responding to enquiries and keeping out spammers is frankly offensive to me personally. peebeep |

Disappointed that the Branch Chairman still feels the need to make totally gratuitous digs at "a certain other site". Is it not time to move on? |
