No. Maybe you should try using the 'view recent posts' feature. Or post something your working on.

I check the site almost daily. Right now, I am trying to put together a truck to fit a show theme so I haven't been posting very much. Summertime seems to take its toll on most model building forums. Between yardwork, gardening, fishing, and maintaining the house my bench time is quite limited.
-
I have curtailed my post/responses due to forum etiquette, or should I say the lack there of......
No particular order of relevance.
1) Had a forum member who also sells aftermarket, who shall remain anonymous, blind side me on the forums saying that if I didn't like his products (resin, some 3-D) to go buy from some one else. I still have no idea where he came up with this as I had purchased from him and used his products on a build that was for contest only. I had went so far as posting a picture with his business card next to the build and its awards. An apology of any sort has yet to come forth from this member and I seriously doubt it ever will at this point.
2) I finally had enough of posting a W.I.P with very few responses yet thousands of views here and views thru the roof on my Fotki acct.
3) Took time out from from other things to help a member find pictures and information on a particular car and its driver from the mid 60's .....not even a simple thanks....sound familar O.P?
I've become disenfranchised with building dirt track cars for display or shows. I have moved on to building commercial trucks and fire fighting apparatus 1949 and newer. Saved this thread to my Fotki acct. just in case some ones feelings got hurt and it gets edited or deleted.

:) Seems to be little going on anymore. I am not so active right now, but I still check it every day.
I am 83, so I am old and tired, and my main focus is on watercolor painting, with a little time and energy left now and then for the Salvino's modified and 3 axle trailer to carry it.
Anne and I have forgotten how to post pictures, but if someone will tell us the steps, we will try to post what I have so far.
I have 10 kits/scratch projects left besides the modified, that I now doubt I'll ever get to, but I still love models and short track racing.
And, I do hope that this forum does not die out.

I check everyday to see what's going on. I don't post pictures because I don't know how. Been working on various models that don't really fit the main stream here. I rarely look at WIP progress pics.
Summer demands more yardwork and longer dog walks so there's that.
-
I check in on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. Like @TonyK, I don't post pics as I don't know how. Technologically deficient I guess. I keep a build going but during the spring, summer and fall I fall victim to my other passion......bass fishing.
-
I check it a couple times a day. I too don't post photos ca use I don't know how. My bench time is diminished due to growing grass! I mow yards for extra $$.
-
:) :) MAYBE SOMEONE WILL TEACH ALL OF US AS TO HOW TO POST PICTURES.

I've not posted in a while due to health issues with tremors in my hands plus other stuff 5

Sad to say, but almost everyone has moved to Facebook.
Model building is very big on Facebook.

Sadly, you're correct. Speaking just for myself, I will never have zuckbook.

Me personally, all my modeling has been put on hold due to a house fire in January. The house is finally being redone. All models and modelling supplies are
boxed up and in storage. Been going into withdrawals and boredom not being able to build anything. if and when I get able to build I'll be posting again

Your loss. I enjoy this forum but you could see more builds, tips, tricks, and new items in an hour on Facebook than you would see on this forum or any other forum in a year.

Like I've said, I check in at least twice daily. As for "my loss" concerning not having farcebook. Friend, I've not "lost" a thing. I don't have to have farcebook, any other social media nor the Internet to enjoy this hobby or my other passion, bass fishing. If you want to have it, cool. Don't assume that those of us that don't are at at "loss". To each his own, but never ever think that I'm at a disadvantage.

I have never missed a thing not being a part of farcebook myself.....the only loser here is anyone who has to come on here and defend facebook and its antics....

AND so why is the beloved facebook site that you defend so much to be viewed by its members only and not the public at large? So much for seeing anything on that site.
Saving this to my fotki acct. since this is probably going to be deleted to protect the presumed innocent.
-
Brian, If we had a "like" button, I would hit it. I agree with you completely. Everyone that I know that has/had farcebook have either deleted it or are contemplating deleting it.

I am guilty of not frequenting this site as much as I should or could. I definitely hope it doesn't shut down. Just finished a model and will soon post some "under construction" photos along with the final product. Hope you can keep this up and alive Tom!
-
I check this site almost every day and enjoy looking at models when they appear. I don't post pictures as I don't belong to any hosting sites.

Tony, If you're interested in posting pictures of your work, check out the "Posting Pictures" thread. You don't have to be a member of the recommended site, just use it to post pictures. I'm not a member and Lord knows, if I can do it anyone can! I'd really like to up the activity here.
