RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Got a mysterious message from friend two days ago. Says that RCSCALEBUILDER will be no more soon. Lack of visitors and lack of funding were mentioned.

I have not been able to tune in there in more than one year, but anyone else know of what is going on?

I was there a few days ago reading a forum and remember seeing something to the effect that they were going strong as ever, and a huge amount of money had been raised. I certaainly hope it does not go away, it is a great resource for scale builders.

Yeah they made their 2008 funding targets just after christmas so they should be cashed up for the year. in fact, they are about to release a new look website!

Think the email might have been a bum steer.

Thanks

I visit there daily and haven't noticed any signs of closing down. I hope they never do, it would be a great loss to the scale community.

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Totally and utterly wrong. They are well funded already for 2008, in fact they had the money they needed for 2008 before December.

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Wow, you might want to update your links;)

I check in daily, its not going anywhere but getting better and better thanks to Mikes hard work.... Even
with Toddski's help:D

Do you build a lot of arfs? If so that may be locking you out of the website..............Just kidding. I agree with everybodys posts works well for me! Great site and great info.

William, shoot me an email. you know how rumors can be.
as one of the Admin's there, this is this is the silliest thing I
ever heard.

normally you send me emails with questions or problems, send me
one again. also you phone number so I can call you this weekend.

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

thanks Chuck, I wont ban you now:)

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Todd Doesn't do crap. Kidding. Well kinda, not really, well maybe. no/yes. And yes this is rumor is all wrong.[8D]

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

I'm here for ya buddy:D

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

I don't visit there as much as I should but its such a great resourse for building, I was sure to make a donation and get a build CD,for the scale builder there's just so much reference material,I will keep my support coming in the future.

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

William,

Don't know where you friend got their information but it's not even close to being true. I have no idea how someone could come to this conclusion. RCSB is stronger than ever. We have over 6000 ACTIVE members (we have a algorithm that purges inactive members based on time and/or number of posts), financially stable, and are actually making plans to grow.

I looked up your profile and notice you have not visited the site since Sunday, May 06, 2007. If you were having problems all you have to do is contact one of the administrators or use the “Contact Us” page to get some help. From experience I can tell you 99% of the time it's a browser configuration problem, corrupt cookie or a firewall blocking the cookie.

Anyway, all is well at RCSB. Look for bigger and better things in the near future!

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Why do you all think I dont bother to post here much anymore! RCScalebuilder is the best scale website out there Period!

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Amen to that Evan. People there still want to build and don't settle with ARF's that only superfically resemble a wardbird!

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

It would be nice if you didn't have to register to view there...

Don't see much point in registering 'till I'm ready to post something, and I'm already on more forums than I can keep track of (3 car, 2 truck, 7 motorcycle and 6 RC forums:))

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Ya don't have a couple of minutes to register??? What the FBI after you?:)

You must have registered here;)

Chuck

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

I'd rather it stays that way, it very much reduces the signal to noise ratio. Besides there is no other place on the wibbly Web you can get the information that RC Scale Builder has. Its full of the best scale builders, (as in Master's champtions, Top Gun champions etc) that share their abilities, skills, secrets and whatnot, all for your reading pleasure.

Most of the FBI guys I've met couldn't find their hindquarters with both hands and a roadmap...:)

Yes, I did register here, but I have had things to post. Honestly, I do way more reading than I do posting. On one particular heli forum, I read there for about a year before joining, and I joined mostly to be able to search. My main interest is scale helis, but I do have a couple of warbird projects in mind. When I get around to starting them, I'll sign up over there. It would just be nice to be able to read some of the threads without having to register on a forum that you'll rarely, if ever, post on. How annoying is it when someone posts a link to something that you want to look at once, but you have to register to do so?


You're right, it's not a big deal, it's just one more forum to add to the list...and I'll get around to it at some point...;)

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Rcscalebuilder is the best and its very alive and well. I read there daily. I read here monthly arf arf arf. Just so many great builders, wonderful subjects, incredible skills and top notch info.

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

RodanAZ-If your into scale helis we would love to have you on our site. We promote scale RC building-no matter what the venue. It would be nice to have a few scale helis going together there.

It actually only does take a couple minutes to register so you can view the posts. When you stop and think of it, registering is really not to much to ask. I'll bet you would like people to identify themself to you before you let them into your house.:D

One other little statistic about RCSCALEBUILDER. We have 1.2 to 1.8 million hits a month on the site. Pretty busy place. If you are inetrested in building scale R/C models-pure and simple-RCSCALEBUILDER is the place to be.

what am i doing wrong? i get on the home page and all i see are the last 6 posts. where are the forums? jeff

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
 

Maybe try Forums on the menu on the left side of the page? :)

RE: RCSCALEBUILDER down the tubes?
