Jaye, I think Corran Horn sumed it up perfectly.  It really wasn't about the e-mail.  I made that fairly clear in my farewell post that was deleted.  If the thread were I said goodbye to my friends in there that are not members here or at GH turned in to a bunch of the newer members flaming me and others....why not just lock it as was done to coutnless other threads in the past???  The reason: it's the same reason why the e-mail, and the why the bannings threads were deleted.  A lot of the older members became critical of the way Philip Wise is running the site.  I may be wrong, but it's looking like he's got a real ego problem and it's coupled with TF.N and RS making him money, and this is the last year he's going to be able to make large sums of money with these sites.  Ask a lot of the people who have been collecting what happened 20 years ago to this hobby when the prospects of new movies was gone.

I don't care what happens to RS anymore.  I will not post there and I told Philip that I no longer want to be on the mailing list (banned) and I did not appreciate my farewell to my friends there being deleted after being a member of those boaards for 5 years.  I know I'm not the end all-be all of this hobby and I do not expect a mas exodus of the RS forums because I'm not there anymore (but wow that would be cool eh?).  I'm a fan, of the films and this hobby, and after contributing to those boards for as long as I had I think it's just wrong in how they're being run.

Very cool looking Coeli!  Can't wait to see more pics!

Welcome to the fold Aaron!!  Too bad your nice well-articulated post was deleted over at RS.

It's a Delta-7, but are they made bi Sienar systems?

And here I thought spinning was what my nephew likes to do in my desk chair.

The loud "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" is optional. 

Matt Fury posted a goodbye thread, and while some of us expressed our regret, some of the newbies went on the attack about him being childish.  I got into a heated argument with a couple of them.

I went to check to see who had posted into that thread today and was shocked that it was deleted, along with the one going on in the feedback thread.  I had put a lot of thought into that goodbye, since I had been in there for five years, and didn't want it to turn into some sort of flame war.

I replied to the banning e-mail and told Philip that I didn't appreciate it being deleted, he could've just had it locked.  Oh well, he can run his little fiefdom into the ground for all I care.

I have about 30 or so figures, ranging from POTF2 to ROTS.  I have no desire to be a 12" completeist....I just get the ones I find interesting, like just about anyone who holds a lightsaber!

Some of my favorite pieces:

- Biker Scout with Speeder Bike
- Darth Maul with Sith Speeder (although I have the original 12" Darth Maul on the Speeder)
- Electronic Darth Vader
- Medicom Luke

As funny as the story is...it has a bit of a sad ending.

Even MY cat, Bailey look a little upset about it.
