MAKE BELIEVE
Master Member
This matter has been debated before and sadly will go on. Forum member Roland just to name one, is one of the "victims".
Totally understandable that people decide not to make the work they make available however who will be "harmed" by that are some of the honest members of this forum that just want the paper props for their collections and not to sell. It always comes the the bottom line : how were you brought up and what are your values in life?
I always get a bit uncomfortable when i'm browsing a thread and see: "people viewing this thread: members: 5, guests: 25..."
Not exactly sure how to stop this. Making the forum payable reduces it but does not solve it. The last decision is always from the maker and whatever the decision is it will be understandable.
Because of that and lack of comments on the threads (the "like" button is less work than writing) some forums eventually "loose" members and members and interaction is what makes a forum feel alive...
