Rebel Transport scratchbuild.

Re: A storm is coming! Please delete!

I'm bothered.

For the first time that I can remember, moderators have started locking research & build threads in the SSM forum, just because the scratch-builders who started these projects have decided somewhere along the way to make patterns and kit their creations. Happened to Steve's eight year old TIE thread, and Lee's Probe Droid Pod thread over the weekend.

Now apparently, as soon as you're actually generous enough to start sharing your work with the rest of the RPF, your reward is that all of your research and build progress threads have to be summarily closed down, apparently without consideration.

If this is how it works, I can promise you that even more real builders will do exactly like Lee is doing, take their builds, and all of their corresponding parts discoveries and reference, and kits off-board.

If that doesn't bother you too, then I'm afraid you don't really understand the original purpose of this forum.

Right you are Kevin, sadly, this is the course im forced to take, for aparently being such a bad RPF'er.
Have i not given to this board, have i not helped and shared finds, which to me, is one of the key elements of SS modeling, im fine going underground, and im fine staying, but the actions over the last day or so, kinda make you feel a bit sick you even bothered in the first place.

WTF? What memo did I miss; <edit misinterpretation>

OK up to speed now, still not happy.

Thanks. So right here it's not a kit/licensee/protectionist issue per se, it's more like a solidarity or protest move on Lee's part. Good man.

<edit again; comment out, have read the other threads and have the impression there's probably other risks here too.>

Things have changed around here, that's for sure. Will just say - Lee, I have that faint feeling of nausea now too.

I'm so sorry to see this. Is there somewhere else that I can follow your builds?
 
Re: A storm is coming! Please delete!

I'm sick of seeing this crap on this site, especially SS. All I'm interested in is building models, relishing others buildups and sharing info/opinions and praises for these outstanding models. Yay to politics!:angry
 
Re: A storm is coming! Please delete!

Well unless mods can see a wee bit of sense, unlock the threads that got kicked, and give a guy a tiny bit of a break, we can carry on?

All this is all rather silly, as if we really got techical, the Tydirium thread, and threads on the Nice N ATST's and all MR and eFX related threads need to go, oh and that could include Slave One too, so the front page of the SS forum, would get rather bleak wouldnt it?

They also need to delete a lot of the threads in the General area too.

It's good to see that things have cleared up a bit and I hope you'll keep on here Lee!
