The show season and getting ourselves known

Now it is starting to get mobile, I will drop a spanner in the works.
THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AN ENGINEERING SITE.
Even though we seemed to have gone along the route of engineering, it is a forum for projects and ideas, anything from origami to heavy metal. So it has to be totally neutral themed.
Steve has already come up with a great idea, and as soon as he gets the engineering text dropped from it I think it would appeal to all.
I will show you my scrawl to give you an idea, and please remember, this was just a quickie idea. It represents Madmodders evolving.
Methinks this morphine is giving me wierd ideas. Bring back flower power.

Look who's talking :lol:
No, don't stop.... :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: Pleaaaassseee...... :poke:
Having been an instigator of a couple of previous forums with a high degree of control it has become clear to me that they will take on the direction of the members that participate.
There is nothing one can do to guide it in any particular direction. Try and people just leave and usually the forum suffers as a result.
As they say, "it will be what it will be" or however the saying goes.
Besides, this is a great forum, in my view one of the greatest around. Great bunch of chaps and great participation...... :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Nice one John,
Would that be Chinese or Thai? :lol:
Darren,
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.
Don't worry, I like it here as well, no background backstabbing is just how I like it. Everyone helping each other, and if we can make it fun at the same time, what more is required?
I realise a lot of it is my fault, and I told Eric that it would be a risk when I joined, posting as I do about engineering. One person shouldn't make a forum. It should all be about input from the newbiest of newbies, to the fartiest of the old farts, and everthing in between.
In fact, I have had only recently, correspondence from a model boat site admin, asking why I wasn't posting as much. I had noticed that it was getting very overloaded with model engineering types, and I told him to wait a while, until it died down a bit, then I would resume in my normal background mode for that site, helping with their little mechanical problems with the odd engine build, in keeping with the site.
Us engineering types can very easily swamp a site, and so drive the normal members away. We are OK in reasonable doses, but we shouldn't choke the patient.
