I'm not sure whats going on, when was it decided that prefix is a solution, who created the problem and demanded change?
Who is complaining about the studio scale forum?
Yeah, this has the distinct smell of behind-the-scenes bull$#!+ to me too. Who, exactly, asked anybody that we start using prefixes around here? Or did the staff come up with this one entirely by themselves?
Either way, we don't need no stinking badges...
I was in the new Cosplay section today thinking it was the Studio Scale section, since that's kind of where this section used to be on the main menu. I walked in, the music stopped, everyone looked up at me, in the distance I heard a dog bark...that's when I slowly started edging towards the door.

PS - if I present a replica I made of a Kow Yokoyama design that is using the same materials/dimensions as the original scratch build, as featured in books and magazines, is it "studio scale"? I've been using the terms "Artist's Model" and "Kow-Scale" on the Ma.K. boards, to my great amusement, knowing how this place works!
I think we've all talked a little, proven that there's no real animosity where I was hoping there wasn't (whew), and hopefully we all can move past this morphed discussion and get back to making resin and scratch built Studio Scale Replicas?

Holy balls. The reason I started this thread is because I've had conversations with some fellow modelers who had asked me for feedback about the "lay of the land" here. They wanted my take on it, since I've been around a while/we're friends/they wanted another opinion. So I figured (however naively, granted) posting this thread might allay some of those "sensitive artist" fears we ALL get from time to time. Instead, it turned into a "let's remodel the kitchen by committee" buttfest™ and now we're seeing conspiracies, but let's all calm down a little.

I think there's ALWAYS been a contingent that has wanted to ride on the hard work of others... we can ride it out!
