SfanGoch Posted Tuesday at 03:34 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:34 AM I ran across the post about https://modelcarmakers.com/ on Facebook. Is everything from this forum going to be migrated to the new site, including member logins?

Basically, we'll be renaming the forum and going forward, we'll be independent from the magazine. All the logins and content will remain, but will be at a new address. 4 1

Thank you for your efforts to provide a "seamless transition". It shows the respect you have for the modeling community. Long live Modelcarmakers.com! CT 1

Rather than stifle this amazing community, Model Cars Magazine has chosen to embrace it and allow the forum to grow into its own and best serve its current needs. This also allows the magazine to focus its energy into what it does best: bringing you great model car content in print. What’s going to change? The forum will be moving to a new web address, modelcarmakers.com. The forum leadership that you've grown to know and trust will remain the same but will now be the ones running the show. The forum may still do collaborations with Model Cars Magazine, but we'll have our own website with content crafted especially for Model Car Makers. Gregg Hutchings and his team will concentrate on bringing you top quality articles and show coverage. Dave Ambrose is leaving the magazine to head up Model Car Makers. For further information, please direct your inquiries to info@modelcarmakers.com or Gregg@modelcarsmag.com. Will are accounts transfer?

Assuming the green bar with the news of the announcement was there near the top of the forum pages, I didn't seen it because I mousewheeled immediately past it for a specific reason: the desktop computer I've long used for looking at this forum (with its killer Ad Block that completely wipes out ads here and at nearly every other website) is out for repair, so in order to see this forum for the last couple of weeks, I've been using my old computer with its minimally 5 year out-of-date web browser that doesn't have a functioning ad blocker. Being that ads are tailored for the latest computers/smartphones, what I'm seeing are many ads being displayed in malfunctioning ways with bizarrely distorted text / images, or I just see big blank areas. The video ads and/or utterly irrelevant photo ads at the top of this forum have been so obnoxious that I've resorted to quick mousewheel flips down in order to immediately get past them and into the main posts content. If other guys have newer computers but don't have ad blockers, they may be skipping down to the main content like I do and thus would also potentially miss the announcement.
