Takes traffic to make traffic...  Customs here, customs there, it's all good but the point of the FFURG FForums Customizing Community is to bring all customizers together at a site maintained and moderated by customizers with separate sections for separate areas of customizing...

Do other sites have that? 

The problem is, the other site you're hinting at mainly I think CHEWIE, is that the people there want more eyes on their stuff rather than to hear honest criticism...  They don't want to hear a critique, but just to get a "Very Nice!" with every reply...

The only way the community and customizing will grow is if customizers try to be a tighter-knit group.  It doesn't mean a site's forums like here at Jedi Defender aren't good for discussion or showing off one's wares, but it doesn't help customizing any if everyone flocks to one forum at a collecting site just to "show off" their stuff...

Hell, half the time anyone makes a criticism "over yonder", it degenerates into a fight between people, or it simply goes unnoticed and never responded to because half the people there don't want to be told they're not perfect.

Sad, but true state of the hobby that FFURG is/was trying to remedy.

That's why I love FFURG, everyone there is a customizer and you can really get some good feedback. I had made a custom ship a while back and I posted it there and I got some really great suggestions on how to make it better, I took those suggestions to heart and I like the ship soo much more now. I think it has made me a better customizer, I definitely have some room for improvement but that's what FFURG is for.

When I used to post my customs at RS, I would only get like 8 replies, and almost all of them would be "cool" or "nice custom". It was uselss many of the people there posted only for  their own post count, not to actually help the other customizers. Most of them didn't even do any customizing, they would just come in because it was an easy way to bost their post count. Of course there were always a few good replies, and those would be from people who were also at FFURG.

When fellow customizers help you on your customs it really does give a great sense of community; something I've noticed other custom boards seem to be lacking, except in a few core members, that also happen to belong to FFURG.  And no one seems to have trouble taking criticsm, it is so much more enjoyable when we can discuss our mutual craft and not have to argue about who is the better customizer. I actually heard someone call Phruby jealous because he made a critque of and already great figure, (that would have made it a perfect  custom) I'm glad thre is a site like FFURG leading the customizining revolution!

Viva la FFURG!

I won't post my who list here but Including a plane ticket to C3 and my C3 4 day pass, I'm up to $439 for the year. That number is going to double by the end of the month, and once I get another job this summer it'll grow pretty quickly.

Hi Lady Jaye, it's nice to see you over here and not just stuck in one place.   

I hope that nobody here is mad at me for getting reinstated there.  The only reason I wanted to be was to keep in touch with the customizers there.  I doubt I will ever post in another section there again.

JD.com is where it's at.  I hope we get some more members here.

 

Not at all. I was going to keep my account active for the same reason,  but I kinda burned that bridge   And then I didn't care anymore, the people I wanted to keep in touch with either came here, I already have their e-mail, or they are at FFURG. So it doesn't really matter.

The figure is decent. The chamber is kinda lame. It is way to small it looks like the POTF2 globe thingy with the figures. And it's be nice if it had a top, that part is fairly critical to the cahmber, but I guess that'd probably add another $5 to the price

As for it being the 500th I think they must not count repacks, which eliminates about a year of stuff and Perhaps they go by production # not release #.

I still can't believe everyone got the axe, why not only the people who supposedly broke a rule? Since when is being a member of any other forum a banible offense?

Sith_prop_lord, your thread over at the RS Customs about Chewie leaving has disappeared.

Actually it Sith Lord Chaos.....   But close enoguh.

Yeah my account is now gone too. I am officailly banned.

I used to always play as Chaos when I played lazer tag and since those days are long gone, I  use it in video games. '

The Sith are bad-ass so it just kinda came together like that and it has stuck.
