I agree with that Tib. We were doing pretty well til they dumped,,,,,er-moved,,,,us here. And then they added insult to injury and just took the fun away.

I plan to hang in 'till the end of the year for the existing pre-vets we promised to support. We'll have to decide soon if we're taking reservations for 2013's list.
and a good onemaybe people have changed and that sticky will catch their eye
but the main problem remains - the thread thrived because of location and whiskey. we've lost both. there is not one of us who has the time necessary to keep the thread interesting. just imagine yourself as a prevet stopping by ...... the fun has gone. it was tough getting over the loss of whiskey but we were hanging on. being moved finished us off ....
Well, that was the plan, wasn't it? Mission accomplished.
Heya gang! Just a flyby; I'll be back later tonight to help with the turning, as promised, if nobody else is there.
Miss you...
Thanks Classy for removing the tags.
btw - and i keep this in here only - just took a fast look at some threads where those tags would have been justified - not a sign of them to be found
seems they were just left in threads where those tags might rile up the steady participants

so, in terms of whether we take reservations for 2013, it may be a moot point, but even if it's not, i can't see continuing in the same form for another year.
this structure is labor intensive, and we don't have enough committed people to really make it work, or keep it exciting and fun

just a fast pit stop before i head back to town to check on kitty .....
continuation into 2013, to me, is pointless, not at our present location and/or participation; there is just too much work involved to carry on, especially with the way our thread was treated by management.
and contrary to quite a few posts and pms, i firmly believe this thread was an asset to ecf in the general forum. i will always be able to look back and know that hundreds of members appreciated our effort. turning vet is a big mile stone and we're not the only ones feeling that way. how else could j0ker have secured such outstanding vendor support for his yearlong contest? but all that is neither here nor there anymore - ecf, for whatever reason, declared our efforts to be fit for the lounge only and with that move changed my feelings for this forum drastically. i am no longer proud to be a supporting member.

Anyone heard from Cookster (or Pita...even though he won't be here) about themes?
catt has been in touch with pita and it seems he just wants a regular welcome thread without a specified theme
Well, you're half right mother Tibbs! That's why I didn't want to omit him in the question:

and can i put you to work, atty? we need to find somebody to explain to mikee3 how a welcome thread is set up. having pictures in there without any text doesn't look all that great. i just don't know if an explanation might be taken the wrong way especially coming from somebody else than a guy.
i'm grateful janet and he are participating and don't want to discourage him. what do y'all think? explanation or let it slide?

I don't have any rules for "how a welcome thread is setup". It's up to the person.
That said... we should at least explain the 2nd post...contest pointer thing. Lemme check it out........be back.
P.S. What thread?

didn't see your edit, atty! remember, i navigate with ''my posts'' i can spot a new post in a heart beat but edits don't register ...
look at charliegirl's thread but it has happened in other threads too.
you know when our team posts how we combine multiple pictures in one congratulatory post? single pics without text are posted in pvt. well, being a newcomer, mike is applying that pattern to the actual welcome threads. it probably doesn't make a bit of difference anymore but, imo, it interrupts the flow of the thread .............. take a look, lmk what you think
but it's no biggie either way

OH!!!!!!! THAT!!!!!! 
When you said "How a welcome thread is setup" I thought you meant...thread starter rules. lol.
Sorry.
I noticed it before. Yeah. On the one hand....it was a bit "much". But since we only have about 3 months left...meh. Lemme think about how to phrase that one....if I even bother.

Haven't heard back from pita about a theme. He is just finishing up his Chinese DiD co-op and will most likely start up a co-op on a new Chinese rebuildable tank that I found, so I'll pester him another time or two and if no response, we'll go with a general Welcome and Congrats.
