Raymond,
Unlike most sites, this one isn't dedicated to anything. That, I think, is why it is getting so popular, members have a feeling of freedom, rather than being tied down to a particular subject. What you do with your machines, gives ideas for other machines, and vice versa. Or if you get stuck with your own project, we have such a lot of members with specific specialities, they could end up helping you. A lot of the discussion might be pie in the sky, but on the other hand, there might be a little snippet amongst it that pushes your project to conclusion.
It might not be super technical site, as most engineering sites tend to end up being, which in my mind is a good thing, as the members don't feel 'threatened' in any way about discussing things between different 'passions'. I don't like working with wood, but that wouldn't stop me helping a carpenter, if my skills would allow it.
I reckon, if you put a few posts up about the shaper, and make sure that 'shaper' is in the topic heading, for search reasons, then I don't think you will be disappointed with the response.
If it can be 'modded', made, or discussed, then it is truly welcome.
For the number of members we have, shaper ownership is rather high at around 1%, which I think is good for a non dedicated site, and I am sure that figure will grow once they start to see how versatile a machine it is.
Even if it still only becomes a minor part of the site, and it becomes absorbed in the general melee, surely, showing your particular 'passion' off is better than not showing it at all.
