Our press release covering our 3 year anniversary was added to the Yahoo and Google news database. It will be interesting to see if it gets picked up further by any other media outlets. I will be posting a feature on our 3rd Anniversary and Road Ahead sometime in the next few days. Thanks everyone!

Very impressive ideed....Jim

Armorama Rules,

nice press release Sir !!

Good write up Jim......
and when yous guys visit it and read it.... down the bottom is a "vote for this article" ....... so vote for it...... LOL :-) :-) :-) :-)

Jim did you relay the story about the fire (was it Major Goose) or did the reporter read through the site and find it himself?

Very impressive and congratulations go out not only to Jim, of course, but to the entire Armorama community.

Very proud to be a part of this. Thanks Jim.

Good one, Jim! It's nice to see this site getting some richly deserved publicity.

Is it true about the fire and the relief package?

cheers

Philip

Great article. It makes you feel real proud. Thanks Jim for giving so many a "Home" away form home. Thanks again.

It most certainly is true. Happen about 6 months ago

Thanks guys! As some of you have guessed it was written by me. As a press release the idea (hope) is that a news organization may pick up on the story basics and use bits and pieces of th release (in addition to their own investigations) to craft a news article. If that happens I will obviously be very happy to see the site get the recognition it deserves.

I was rather in awe the other day when I realized that just the term "armorama" brings up 35,000+ results on Google these days. When 3+ years ago it would have been ZERO. Sure 27,000 of those results are to pages right here, but that is an accomplishment all on it's own. 27,000 Armorama.com pages in Google folks. WOW.

Cheers,
Jim

Way to go Jim

you'll get most of the story behind Costas's trials etc and the way the folks here on Armorama rallied round.

This is what makes me proud to be a member of the best modelling site on the net.

Thanks Jim for setting it up and everyone else for helping make the site what it is.

Bravo Jim and all Armoaramians !!!!!

Costas

Thanks Big A

As Darth Vader once said...{affecting my best laboured breathing voice}....."IMPRESSIVE".....

A hearty "Congratulations!!" goes out to you Mr. Starkweather for getting some well-deserved press coverage for all of the hard work, long hours, heart-felt concern, and solid devotion you have invested in our wee community.
As you said in your article, the site has indeed grown a "life of it's own" due to the balanced comradeship and sharing spirit of all of the fine members. But YOU Jim, provided the corner store where we all decided to 'hang out' and become friends.........

Thanks Pard'

Here's to seeing Jim in a fold-out "Burt Reynold's' style in Fine Scale Modeler next.....

Tread.

You just had to go and ruin it, didn't you Tread? I may never be able to buy another FSM again, just in case they take up your idea.

No offense Jim but I don't want to see ANY of you guys in a photo spread like that. Now Lady Modeler and some of the other ladies here might be another matter. :-)

Congrats again on the article. It was really very well done.

Way to go Jim and the staff!!

i'm really proud to be members of such fantastic community.

6000 + people from all over the world, can be proud of that news article. Im so glad the site has met your initial expectations Jim. I know you have more long term plans ... hopefully you have the samesuccesses again. All the best, chaps!

Bingo!
Great coverage for a great site.
An example to most other sites.

Very happy
Peter
