I left long ago. Good people and friends there, but far too many narrow trolls, and sycophants.
I read thread last PM about why people were leaving. Several said, basically, "screw'em". Those people are what infests that board. One of them is in particular the one who caused me to leave.
Many were disappointed great builders with lots to offer left. Those are the people who need to be here.
Making a living is one thing, but Ebay has likely hit business over there over last few years. Just like Wal-mart, people can find rare kits cheaper, so they go there, or find builders to restore. I buy less, since I already have much of what I want, only high-end resin and a few new kits interest me.
Posting IP addresses really is a security issue, and trolls can easily spoof them, or use AOL with variable IP's. Not a fix, but exposes good people to other problems.
Glad a couple friends steered me here.
Just my 2 million lira.
