Well you have to remember we all started they same way,asking questions that had been asked who knows how many times before.
It does get repetative but thats what keeps the forum going.I just looked at the members on-line here on the forum just before starting this reply.There was 27 members and 17 of which I see thier names almost on a daily bassis.Not many of those 17 have a current build going on,at least that they are posting.Starting about in December this forum has realy slowed down,I thought after Christmas it would realy pick up.NOT THE CASE at all.If it was not for some new guys coming on and looking for answers to questions there will be less and less guys on this forum.I have went on here several times at 10 oclock at night with only 5 or 6 members on the forum,thats not what you would expect to see for a forum that is free and open to anyone around the world.There is a certain amount of intimmadation by some members who complain about guys that are wanting to get into tanking and other builds and more or less stating that to be accepted on this forum they must build there tanks according to how they think they should be built.This falls in line with the old saying "bitting the hand that feeds you".We all need to incurrage more members,not run them off.The tone of some of the replys on here is not very conductive to a person wanting to ask a follow up question.This is a place to learn and have fun and a lot of people are buying tanks just for having fun with them.If it was just us small amount of people on this forum buying RC tanks, the tank industry would be broke and all of them out of business.We need to be gratefull we have this forum
and it is as active as it is.I have looked around somewhat at different forums,go look at some of the strictly Tamiya forums and see what you find.For me I even got a P.M. from one of the members on here(name will not be mentioned)who stated that my collection of tanks was all junk.This coming from a guy who only has probbly three tanks himself I found rather ammusing.But at least he did have enough sense to keep it more private in a P.M. where as a couple others have been more public with there unwanted opinions.
It is this kind of stuff that kills a forum,And a reply like this does not help either.But sometimes it needs to be said.
