Blimey Jim! As the others have said, this is really an honour!
Jim, don't feel glum - you've created something SO special here on Armorama! There just isn't another site like it. I certainly agree with the previous posts that all the Armorama membership deserves a pat on the back - this place really is the best modelling community... bar none!

I don't quite go along with the idea of general apathy... a lot of people are keen to submit stuff, but just shy or unsure how to go about it. It's really encouraging when a bit of gentle persuasion and encouragement results in a new review (or whatever)!

There are a lot of people (me for one) who don't have a modelling club in their area. I was pretty much resigned to modelling in isolation (and that was slowly fizzling out...) until I found Armorama. This is the kind of place that, once found, you don't want to leave; the question is how to make sure more people get to know about us...
I'm printing up some flyers that my local model shop has agreed to distribute :-) , but the real answer is to make sure we rank high on web searches. Things have got massively better lately and if we can pin down a way of making our content "search engine friendly", I think the we'll see a huge increase in interest.
In the past, there's been a worry about "How do we attract "big name" modellers to Armorama?"... well, in Aircraft at least, we've got them!


Glum? The future's so bright, I've gotta wear shades!

All the best
Rowan
