I'm sad. I'm a Forum member since 2008, but a collector since the early 1970s. I recall how much traffic there was here, with collectors and talented modelers sharing their models and creations, which made it fun to check out the forum on a daily basis. Today, barely a "whimper." Although now in my seventies, it is still enjoyable to see what others have in their collections, and see what talent there is by those who customize, kitbash or scrachbuild their desired items that may be unobtainable.

I know that a lot of collectors have moved on to Facebook, but the problem with that is sometimes it is difficult to find an item or post that you might have seen earlier, as posts are continually added.

Here at the Forum, there was a sense of community, which is missing from Facebook. I'm sad.
