I'm just wondering how everyone here found armorama. There are a lot of sites around and I just want to know how did you find this site. I was refered by lonewolf to this site.

I had a dream, and when I woke up, I saw this little scrap of paper with the site wrote on it. And here I am.

No, just track-link pointed me here.

Google.
I was floundering around TL was TU (at the time), ML was 'to much' never felt connected and I was searching around and it came up on a search.
I jumped on board and I've never looked back!!!!!!!!!!

When Jim started this site in December 2001, he posted messages in several online boards like RMS and Kithobbyist. I went to the site from the Kithobbyist site and this was the first board that was interactive with the users. He was asking us for feedback on the site, and made changes that we suggested.

Armorama's been my online home ever since, and he even gave me a gallery to upload photos of equipment that I take photos of. I'm one of the original members and am registered user #9. I know Jim used "anonymous" as registered user #1, I wonder what happened to registered users 2-8?

My first time was through RMS, then I looked and it was just getting started... a friend asked me to rate his site on Armorama and I have not looked back since.

just surfing around for 3 years and stranded on this site when i had a pc-error so after a while i feld in love with those ranks :-)

sounds strange but true, it was mongo_mell first post that blocked my pc !!! how about that

greetzzz

I followed one of Jim's original posts on RMS at the beginning. I registered, but didn't jump in there at first. A week, or so went by, and I had to re-register because I forgot my original one. Been here ever since though...

I was searching Google for info on armor models to help get back into the hobby.

track-link I think, when I found the message boards at armorama(which are the best around) I was hooked, best people frequent this site also.

Through www.scalemodel.net. They have all sorts of links in there. Armorama was one of them.

Thru Google, I used to be on ML a lot but I never liked the cold atmosphere there, this is a warm home to be at, even if you don't activly build, you can come here and have fun.

Hmm I realy must go to the chat room more often, but then again, that is how I met my wife #:-)

I heard about it over on PCModeler.com. Not being much into armor I stayed away for probably a year. Then one day I was bored so I decided to stop by for a look-see. I saw a very friendly user base and a forum (with active users!) for aircraft and decided to stay. I'm not much for unipurpose boards so forums like Aircraft Resource Center don't do much for me. I like to see what people are doing in other genres.

Other genres? like pink tank? WHy Lord Tim, Why?

I told you, I'm doing German next. So just be ready.

:-) I don't honestly remember how I got here, but that doesn't matter, cos I'm here. I do remember thinking it was a site for armour modellers, but I liked the look and ventured further. As soon as I saw how friendly it was I sighned up. No other site compares, in the short time I've been a member this site has grown and keeps on growing. The best thing about Armorama is that I class everyone here as a friend, even though I have only met one member in person (Roger, Favorisio). Cheers to you all

I got into the hobby back in December of 2001 and was searching the websites for info.. and track link and missing lynix both were ok but not the kind of site i was looking for.. then I somehow surfed into Armorama and now it is the one model related site I visit every day.

This Site Rocks...............thats my story ... and I'm sticking to it.............

I got a personal invite from Jim to stop by.... Been here since.

I was googling "King Tiger Zimmerit," if I remember right. That was quite a few beers ago...

I learned Armorama's birth (Dec-2001)in an online board and joined the group as #51.Sabot was faster than me he came as #9 maybe I should have the nick GrayT urtle :-)

Yes, we too have found this site from Tony Matteliano's site..
I mean me & Ladymodeler2, but she was quicker than i :-)
She joined before me.

As a result we're just like in heaven...

When the HM Forum closed,one of the lads pointed me this way,it was so informal, so i stayed.

I was searching model sites and I found track-link on www.modelhut.com

I found this site through Google. I was looking for information on doing individual link tracks and Armorama was one of the results. Know I check Armorama almost everyday at least once. Keep up the good work Jim.

Here was the original post advertising the new site on rec.models.scale: New Military Modeling Site...

Regular blast from the past!

I found Armorama via the military modelling web site links, took a look and now Im hooked,have to have a browse once a day.
