I noticed lately that Armorama has become quiet. Has it peeked out? I have'nt seen any of the major players around much. I miss all the noise and buzz that once was. Guys.......Hello.......Anyone

I think we are all craming in all the time we have with the campaigns we are busy with. The list is long right now. I have two in progress and a third starting on Monday.

The site is always busiest during the winter months. So yes in terms of the year we probably did just peak. But next years peak will be bigger.

Okay back to making an automated awards addition script...

What i'm trying to get at is you don't here from most of the members as we use to. Most would post between 2-5 times a day, and now it seems that much in a week. By no means do i think that this place has died or gotten boring, it's that i miss all the hoopla that use to go on. Maybe it is all the campaigns and other things going on. I guess being locked down in this house 24/7 is eating at my brain.

Friday and Saturdays have been known to be the quietest here.
Most folks are spending time with their families.
I think it is Tuesday or Wednesday that sees the highest amount of activity.

I'm at armorama 2 times a day, so it won't be quiet because of me :-)

I really love this forum

My butt is dragging....... I worked 32 hours overtime this week....
Hopefully, this week will be a little slower..... until someone else either get sick or injuried....
Hopefully by the end of March the 5th man in the shop will be returning..... Cuts down on the overtime, and some of us really do have a life afer and before work.....
But at least I've been doing my building at work..... LOL

Well based on the time stamp of your post - I was asleep

But to toss in a bit of a global answer - WORK, it's been kicking me around a bit recently and I haven't been able to be as visibly active as I usually am. Rest assured I'm around just sitting on the bench so to speak.

I thought I was actually posting more on here the last week (especially the last few days) since my unpacking process is coming closer to the end.

Hi there

Scott could have written that for me too! I've got about a week's worth of heavy work ahead and then, touch wood, I should be able to spend more time on site.

All the best

Agreed Mother! It seems a bit slow lately.

Well, got to get back to my studies, complete all my campaign entries and finish writing my first article for Armorama, plus still spend time with the family……. Where’d the time go?

I don't know about anyone else but I just finished up 2 campains and Now i'm starting a "cause I want to" project... Academy's M10 GMC so I am concentrating on building right now.

But even with that and work and the family I still check the boards here on a daily basis.. .. and on my day's off if I'm home I keep an eye out on the boards all day...

It may appear quiet at times but just throw out a question and people start coming out of the woodwork.. :>


oh and almost forgot. Have you been keeping track of the flood of new content on the site. The number of new reveiws has really seemed to have taken off. Along with a lot of new interesting articles and some outstanding Models on Display.

I too have noticed a slow-down and I am also guilty of it.

Not by choice. Deadlines in the machine shop have me working so much OT right now, that it is all I can do to glance in every once in awhile. It really bites too because I may not make it for Feb. FOM!!!
