The show season and getting ourselves known
Divided he ad:
Well.... I have some more observations....
John, There is no "s" on the end of the name.... It could confuse people trying to find the site :)
The welcome note states....
--- Quote ---"This is a place for those who like to build, craft or modify anything and everything can gather. We are going to take our cues from the famous HMEM model engine site. I want this to be a place that fosters ideas and learning... plus a good place to show off your talents and skills."
--- End quote ---
(Should there be a "we" or a "they" in there? just after everything. )
So that does leave it quite open for most anything. But it does also say about the cues from a "machinists" forum! Though I have no issue with anything that anyone designs, creates or builds. I like to see what others can do, be it animation to helicopter building it's all interesting :thumbup:
Perhaps I should invite my mother to join.... She crafts all sorts of little items as gifts etc..... But then again! :wack: Maybe not..... I might just post the pic's!
So Tshirt designs..... That should incorperate everything that is encompassed in that welcome.... Good luck!!! :bugeye:
I do know I'd rather wear something with gears on than a flower power rambling rose thingy (sorry John) just my opinion!
I believe a whole bucket of worms have been turned out here!

That is one thing that must be avoided Ralph. But the worms would definitely look like Art Nouveau. :lol:
My suggestion was only a scrawl to get things moving, and it wasn't really a contender to start with.
The topic should be whether the site should be engineering orientated or neutrally based, and of course, that is Eric's decision alone.

Here we go again... trying to force kittens to grow inside glass jars. (go ahead...google it...dare ya) A forum defines itself as it goes along.... whether it's an engineering forum or Dominatrix Grannnies. It simply is what it is. quit quibbling over how to define it and let it be what it is going to be.
The art work John mentioned took very little time when compared to the time I spent trying to define a forum that has no defined limits. I chose the word engineering because the name Seinfeld was already taken by some dumb assed comic on TV. Give me a better definition and I'll plug it in, but until someone can do so....it's getting spelled INJINEARING.
John...
We've already seen that one monkey don't stop no show. Sit down, present your ticket to the nice man and enjoy the ride. It's Eric's job to drive this train and he gets to call it whatever he wants to call it... You're an important part of the experience, but stop trying to take credit for what ALL of us have helped to create. Indianearing ain't no bad word.
The attached image is the sample I sent to John last night.

I am going to re-write that. I primarily meant we would be taking the cues for a place that fosters ideas and learning... not as much as an engineering site. I was trying to get some of the atmosphere, not so much as the forum subject.

Steve,
Slight resentment at your comment
--- Quote ---It's Eric's job to drive this train and he gets to call it whatever he wants to call it...
--- End quote ---
As it looks like that I already had that call, not once, but twice.
--- Quote ---I know what you are on about, but I was suggesting trying to keep it like Eric originally envisioned. If he is happy that it goes engineering orientated, then we should be happy as well.

But this quote was totally uncalled for

As far as I am concerned, I am assisting in the only way I know. Helping as much as possible. If that is how it looks to you, then I will not assist and do as you say,
