Everything Rebelscum

[Ryan]

It's got a lot more traffic. There's pleny of good info and discussion to found amongst all the rubbish.

Personally, I'd rather not have to wade through rubbish to find decent discussion.  Traffic or not.

Seriously. Newbies are running the forums now with practically no moderation (with respect to the overwhelmed good mods over there.)

Like GNT?

[Matt_Fury]

How many times must we say it....GNT is not a real person!  "He" is actually a very sophisticated virus/worm/trojan horse created by some people at MIT.

Like the gypsy moth and the love bugs of Florida, "he" escaped from the lab and has been running amok on the internet ever since. 

It is a shame we can't get that vintage forum somewhere else (like here).  But alas, the hard core vintage folks are resistant to change.

A virus, a worm, or a condom I could agree with...  Sophisticated?  Hmmmm  I dunno about that.

The real problem is that he embraces that notion. 

Odd stuff...

I just checked in and was able to get on the forum. However, the front page anouncement has not been updated to reflect a properly working form. I'm afraid to log in, last time there was trouble when I was using it, I got erased.

I got erased.

Phil and Arnie - good buddies?

[Commander Cody]

I loathe Phillip wise for being a money hungry, egotistical jerkoff.

I forgot about that. It didn't happen to me, but this time my bookmarked threads disappeared. Looks like that happened to a lot of people.

This keeps up and the Vintage community may not have a choice but to relocate...

I can only hope.

Well, some of the customs people have moved here.  I've worked very hard at getting some of the "good" people from over there to head this way.

 We have developed an excellent customizing community here.  I don't know how much of a big deal that is to the admins here, but to me it's what Star Wars collecting has become.  I've tried to recruit good people and 99% of the time we have a lot of good discussions.

I wish more of the non-customizers here would join in more discussions with us there as well in the ever growing photonovel section.

And, I do post at Scum still some, but mostly only because of customs and there are a few good guys there that I like to keep in touch with.

It's still down when I try to go to it.

Well I'm sure the JD staff would love to see the vintage community hop on by here. I think it would be great to expand the vintage conversations here, and the big plus is no riff-raff!  Pretty much everyone I have seen post in the vintage section here has been collecting for quite some time and/or isn't looking for the quick payoff, but real insight into the toys of yesteryear.

[Jesse James]

Dale'd be on the "Riff Raff" so fast their head would spin.   That's his baby so he'd not let anything taint the vintage section here.

[TheBlackDog65]

I'll be honest. The only good thing about scum is the Look What I Found section which helps me and others here in Utah to know when product should arrive (roughly).
I am not into Vintage so I can't talk about that and as far as customizing, I have just started on that so I guess I can link up with Chewie and gang here.
I left RS for almost 2 years since we created our own forum for Utah collectors, and started posting for the hell of it. What I realize is that I feel sick, weird, etc because I'm a 40 year old man and forgive the term, but they are 90% kids over there, and not just in age.
Love this forum far better for reading even because at least it approaches the intellectual standards of an average human being. I just need to get more comfortable posting on the non-SW areas which is what I really love to discuss.
