You're about 10 years too late for this online model discussion newsgroup. Most folks have departed for specific armor, aircraft, ship or car modeling forums somewhere on the web.
...you've just reminded me that I've missed our local meeting of the HDSM at the local library last night! Look for me - I'm the guy with the fox tail on his Harley...
Welcome home, congrats on your retirement, and thanks for wearing the uniform!
Yes, sadly RMS is pretty close to dead. Which sucks, because I have yet to find the same sense of 'belonging' in any of the web-based forums I've looked at.

Oops, sorry for the semi political user name and comment. I moved my info from my desktop to my notebook and my RMS identity didn't transfer properly. This is the first time I've posted since so I just now noticed. Won't happen again.

Hmm, I'll have to give them a go again. It was the all subjects nature of this place that I liked and also that I could use a text basedreader which is very easy to use. A lot of web based content is poorly done and to many things try to load.
THen you'd probably like Britmodeller more; all of the topic areas are on one page instead of spread out over several sites like Aeroscale and the rest of the Kitmaker network. Britmodeller is also much more text-friendly but the inline pictures are nice :)
True indeed, 99% of web-based forums is just a mess of signatures and design junk, with a line of actual text content here and there. Still, if one is discussing modelling and photo references are required, it can have its benefits compared to text-only newsgroups.
On the other hand all the raving nutters have migrated to the web based side of things, Usenet is more like it was in the late 1980s albeit with fewer postings these days.

Hi there! No, not a general. I was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 2005 a nd retired at Fort Knox in 2011. I turned down a colonel position at the Pe ntagon in 2010 because the promotion was not a guarantee and if I didn't ge t promoted, I would have had to move again in less than a year.
