It is the starting a new topic every year so that 90% of the new posts are the same from the other topics. Are you kidding? When we repeat old threads, we get shamed. When we reopen old threads, we get this ☝! So it's a catch 22. Don't ask the same old question and don't reopen an old thread to bring in new information. Either gets lambasted by some. ? Personally, I don't care if it's new or old. If it's interesting to read, I'm glad it's available! ? Rant over and out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta shake my head when someone posts a question for which there's a whole thread already stickied at the top of the page, or another thread asking the same question right on the front page of the subforum at that very moment!

keyser Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 One sided endless loop implies continuity. One stop shopping adding to thread rather than many threads. Same with recycling. Adding and repurposing saving waste. So both imply old thread additions rather than new. Try it, you’ll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all the Power posturing goin on. It seems like there are many here that like to see and discuss different ideas , new or old. All of the old clichés seem to stand, If you don't like this thread, move on. No one is forcing you to stay. There are many here that do enjoy these discussions. Why keep berating those of us that do enjoy discussing old ideas and topics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 With Atlantis and Revell both coming out with old Molds of interesting new kits and Revell with new there is certainly room for discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Xingu, Casey, if you are really concerned about this, why not fix the Boards Search engine, instead of the constant nagging ?

SfanGoch Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The search engine is F.U.B.A.R. and beyond hope of repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm going to go back on topic....I'd love for the old Merit molds to be repopped. While their Grand Prix series isn't the most accurate, they also had the largest series of 1950's racers of any manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one of those that likes discussing old ideas and topics. It usually brings in new information from those that are reading these topics for the first time.

Rob Hall Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) <humor> Back to the original question, rumor has it a large stash of old Johan molds are being held by mold trolls in a cave beneath Lake Huron. </humor> Edited October 13, 2020 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
