notch...
I'm only there to watch the chaos and observe as Austin discovers he's suddenly captain of a ghost ship. My threads are still there but useless. Interesting to see if he figures out there's not much profit to be made in an investment that can migrate overnight. I can't be blamed if maybe temptation overwhelms me and I poke the the new guy a few times with a pointy stick. Teflon doesn't stand up to abrasives for very long...(grin) BTW.. did anyone remember to grab the Elvis on velvet from the moderator area?

Yep, got it. And the stuffed moose head.

Whose still over there? If some of the "heavy hitters" (George, Steve, Brian, Chuck, etc.) are still there, the new site will slog along. Those guys are the "anchors". Their threads are the ones that everybody follows. I hope Keith posts his V8 somewhere else. I want to see it when he finishes it. Hopefully, those guys work their way over here.

A number of expat HMEM members are already assembled there. Wander over and join us.

I don't like the way the moderators were treated. Seems to me they put more of their time and effort into making HMEM what it was than most of us did and in the end it looks like they were treated like they didn't exist. Sorry, that is inexcusable.

-Trout

Yeah, Trout, we're not feverishly happy about how we were treated. We were told a few days before that it would happen but details were withheld, purportedly because of a non-disclosure agreement that Rick has signed. However, we had no voice in the decision. Rick presented it to us as a fait accompli.

I'm not the only one who has a sour taste in his mouth.

Cedge- I hope it's lots of chaos.

Marv- Thanks. Signing up now.

I will also be an active member here at MadModder. This has been a great refuge since the shipwreck.

I signed up for Model Engine Machinist.

I am not sure Bogs will let me in.
He is none too keen on me.

I signed up for Model Engine Machinists a few minutes ago, am awaiting the e-mail that says "come aboard mate".

I'm waiting for the second e-mail now.

Damn Pat... There are time Bogs isn't too keen on Bogs....LOL I'm not even sure he'll want me there, as much as I give him hell.

Steve

PatJ · « **Reply #137 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:32:16 PM »

If Bogs does not let me in, I will bribe him with model engine drawings and casting kits.
Every man has a price.

ksouers · « **Reply #138 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:42:27 PM »

You might want to try listing who HASN'T butted heads with Bogs at one time or another!

The list will be shorter

PatJ · « **Reply #139 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:44:49 PM »

Bogs is too much like me, that is what his problem is.

PatJ · « **Reply #140 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:49:37 PM »

I have been perma-banned from the old site.
That should be sufficient credentials to get into the new site.

chuck foster · « **Reply #141 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:50:38 PM »

as we all know bogs is a great old sole who has so much to offer and he shares all his ideas so freely, i for one wish he lived closer so i could look over his shoulder and watch the master at work.
ok john did i lay it on thick enough

.............thick enough to get some cool prize

seriously we all know john is a great guy i know i didn't have to tell any of you guys that

chuck

PatJ · « **Reply #142 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:53:24 PM »

If John is starting a new forum for the old guys, he has my unconditional support.

Like John or not, at least you can trust what he will do with a forum.

90LX_Notch · « **Reply #143 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:57:32 PM »

I'm guessing at this point he's the only admin. It's been over an hour since I received the first e-mail. The latest member over there has been SandCam for the same duration. I assume John went to bed. But that's okay. He stepped up and formed a new model engine building site.

He deserves a good night's sleep for all the approvals he'll have to okay tomorrow.

chuck foster · « **Reply #144 on:** July 19, 2012, 09:08:44 PM »

there are 2 admin. on the new group john and one other person.

I'll come over Marv...if you'll have me.
Trout....the way mods were treated ....shameful. I walked.

Well I signed up for Bogs as well (no disrespect Eric) as I like the crowd that was HMEM. I was hopeless there but since just now deleting that forum signed up for Bog's site under this name. Guess I'm not that hopeless anymore

. Having said that I like this site and has always been a goto for me usually right after the other one that is now dead to me

gmac · « **Reply #147 on:** July 20, 2012, 12:39:33 AM »

Thanks Marv for the heads up on Bog's new site. I've signed up, for what little a noob can offer! HMEM was my "experience reservoir" and the atmosphere was always helpful and friendly. I hope we can all find a new tree to roost in.

Cheers Garry

No disrespect taken. We (madmodder) are not a dedicated model engine site. Yes, we have people building them and there is a section for them. We are a "makers" type of site. More project based for the person who wants to tinker, build and create.

Model engines? Check.
3D Printers? Check.
Modding Yo-Yos? Check. (yes, I said Yo-Yos)
A V8 Dry Sump from Billet?!?(amazing and done on a manual mill)... yup. Got one of those.
Amazing 6x26 CNC conversion Yeah... that guy hangs out here too.

Once I get back on track, I have some projects to post up. Some robotics stuff, CNC, really cool LED projects...

MEM has the real possibility of becoming huge... and I hope it does. Just remember to check up on us now and again.

Eric
