Greg Myers Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51477 and, you gotta love Dr. Cranky's You Tube bit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uCDRZ2ahzfU
Dr. Cranky Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 LOL, I'm still getting over it. I traded it so I am waiting for the white plastic version to show up. I can't wait. In hind sight, I wish I would have known about this "collectors" edition because the price bump at the LHS should have been a warning. The regular kit costs 19.99 or something like that and I paid 26.99. I should have known something was up.
Harry P. Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 You're posting a thread that's nothing more than a link to another thread? Is that really necessary?
Darin Bastedo Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 You're posting a thread that's nothing more than a link to another thread? Is that really necessary? So me posting a thread which is a link to this thread would be a no-no?
Greg Myers Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 You're posting a thread that's nothing more than a link to another thread? Is that really necessary? I think so. That's why I posted it. It's in a part of the board that many people may not look at and I thought it was worthy of a look, especially after the negative postings about "nothing' being posted on the board lately. I think this is one of the hottest post to come down the pike in quite a while. I found it very interesting and informative as well as enjoyable to read.Very civel I might add, also no lame attempts at humor, just plain model talk in many interesting directions by many board members.
Harry P. Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Ok... I see your point. I just don't want to start seeing threads popping up that are nothing else but "look at this thread" threads.
Casey Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Ok... I see your point. I just don't want to start seeing threads popping up that are nothing else but "look at this thread" threads. Which is exactly what this thread is. Topics which are worthy of continued discussion will get bumped when a new reply is posted, and those which are not will fade away. You can always bump an existing thread which has slipped off the front page if you feel it needs more attention, too, but that always seems to come off as self aggrandizing and implies the specific topic in question is more important than others.

Kind of agreed with that
Harry P. Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Which is exactly what this thread is. Topics which are worthy of continued discussion will get bumped when a new reply is posted, and those which are not will fade away. Exactly! Topics that have interest will sustain themselves, topics where the interest has dropped off will gradually drop down the page and disappear. That's how a forum is supposed to work. There's no need to "resurrect" topics that you think are important by posting another topic that's nothing but a link to the previous topic! That's crazy. If you want to "bump" a topic that you find interesting, just post a reply in the original topic... don't start a whole new topic talking about where to find the old topic!
Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I nominate this thread for most redundant thread in a while. LOL Shake, Shake and Bake
Darin Bastedo Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 This reminds me of the TV shows about TV shows. I mean jeez there are actually TV shows that talk about what happened on TV shows the previous day! Do we really need a tread that talks about another thread? Why not just post in that thread how cool it is. It bumps that thread, and makes your point.
Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Bump Bump. LOL LOL S&B S&B!! I fully agree with you Darin!
Jairus Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 And now for something completely different...
