Whats happened here

[Ghostrydyr]

this is a great forum, always has had a good mix of old and new opinions and ideas, now it seems the mojo is gone, what has happened here,, i was gone for what is a mere second in terms of the progression of technoglogy and advances in the the hobby , but there seems to be a hugh rift in the posting, im looking at post that have been around since the post first inception,some 2-3 months old and still going with many different topics, accordingly when the subject matter has run it course, there are multiple issue in the same thread , and the main post always gets losts in translation if you will,guys, girls, rotorheads,dont be afraid to open your own post in the proper catagory and say whats going on with your stuff,, or on your mind,even if it peters out and get 0 or few responses it gives new life to the forum for all of us and new nonmembers to look at whats relevant to them at the time.if you not sure where to post just ask in any post or thread and we can direct to where to post your own topic to get answers,,,,, quit riding other post if you have something to say other than what the op was asking, this place looks confusing and tired to new people looking for answers because the answers are all jumbled up in the endless sometimes meaningless post,im guilty too , just an observation since ive been away, ive learned everything i know thru the people here and thru another million hrs of google and links,,,,,still learning and hate to see it so blah,,,


feedback and comments welcome,,,dont be shy this place is really need a make over from us, the site was upgraded last year and it seem that while the hobby is peaking , this forum is in a trough,,,,

Could be that the weather has taken it's toll on the participation of this forum. Just a guess though. I'm still flying when I can, and participating here when I have something to add to a thread that I think is helpful. Hope all is well with you Ghost.

Time of year maybe, always seems to slow down every year about this time. After christmas it should pick up when everybody get new stuff to fly.

Part of it might be a result of Kaos being banned and Evan leaving as a result....obviously not the whole reason but they were major contributors to the forum and I personally miss havin' em around....

For the record, as much as I (and a few others) were at odds with Kaos, I do miss him in my own way. He did have and share a lot of knowledge (as well as his unique perspectives) with us. That said, IMO he pretty much sealed his own fate here. As far as Evan goes, it was his own decision to leave. He apparently is still a member, and I hope he'll find his way back to the forums someday as, like you said, Timeless, he was a major contributor to the forums. The rest is up to those of us who remain......

For my part, I got my start in the RC hobby right here, and I intend to remain here as long as I remain in the hobby and as long as these forums exist. I, like others , have become active in other forums and spend a fair amount of my time elsewhere these days. Even so, I check in here three or four times a day to see what's going on, and even though I don't contribute to the extent I used to, I still consider these forums an important part of the hobby, my social life, and in a way, my home. I've made a lot of friends here. Many have moved on to "greener" pastures in the form of other forums, some are no longer in the hobby, a few still pop in once in a while, and a good many are still here on a more or less regular basis.
That said, I want to say, I treasure and respect each and every one of you, for your help, your knowledge, your questions, your advice, your desire to learn, your desire to teach. Like any community, we have our disagreements, our individual likes and dislikes, but we are still all here for the same purpose; to learn about the hobby, become better at whatever it is we fly or drive, and hopefully work together to pass our knowledge, skill, and experience down the line to those who are where we once were........

Well said Marty. Well said. Like most people here, I've learned most everything I know about RC helis here and have made some good friends along the way. A lot of those friends don't seem to be here much any more, most likely for the reasons you listed and I guess thats why I haven't been around like I used too. Perhaps I should pop in more often. I'm sure the unfamiliar names I see have questions, can offer up their help, and in general, just as much fun as the friends I had that have left..'
