It's okay :wink:
I'm a forgiving person :mrgreen:

i sympathise with the position you guys are in, but im also a little bit confused.
i pop in here everyday to see what has been donated, if the car is something im interested in/intrigued by ill have a look, if it is then something i like ill save it.
i havent donated any prints as i have no prints to add. im currently making my first ever model using prints that i didnt obtain from this site.
where im confused is that i dont really know if im welcome here as a member:- i havent contributed in the slightest with regards to actually donating blueprints, a couple of times ive help correct thread titles, i sometime check the request thread to either second a request or try point someone in the right direction, but generally i dont post as i have nothing to say.
im glad the 15 post idea has been dropped, because it would be quite easy for me to rack up 1000+ post simply saying "nice print" to everything that get donated, but whats the point?
this site is great, and does the community a great service, but i honestly dont know if im actually welcome here as a member as it stands.

regards, simon

I'm kinda new to this forum and I started to post more frequently since I got cable (before that I had dial-up)!

The 15 blueprints lower limit seems a little bit harsh, as not all members come here to post prints. Some of them post WIP's or renders and apreciate the feedback.

My opinion is that you should take into consideration other things too when deleting members, things like: number of threads started, number of replies as reported to the total number of views and date since that member joined.

As an example: I joined in november 2003, and I now have 24 posts and 3 or 4 blueprints posted, but my posts/day ratio is small as I only started to post daily recently! On the other hand there maybe members who joined a long time ago, posted more than 15 times and then just gave up this forum.

In my opinion you should start by deleting members with very little or no activity.

Hope this comes out right !

@mickyknox:
You're most welcome at this forums, just aslong as you show your WIPs out here, as a thank of using the prints you found here.
But then again, it's not only obligated to show, it's helpfull too, since people can critise to improve your model/render/whatsoever. :wink:

That's already dropped, and noone ever said anything about 15 prints :?
Just go on with your life...
It's just an action to delete inactive members...

Coming in a little late here. But as a new member I have felt the same as thulme. How can one start modeling cars, if there is no place welcome to help. How can one post 15 blueprints when one doesn't even now what is needed / wanted. That's even assuming they know how.

I came here to learn. I really really want to model cars! The blueprints and photos you offer are by far the most outstanding in quality, and quantity! I am more than willing to post WIP. But when this first came out I was worried I would be dropped before I even started. In the "General Discussion" area I have a post requesting help on setting up BP's as when I do it I get the same results. And those results a car can't be made. I got one reply which struck me as cool. The person replied and it made me think. I am hoping to solve my BP problem once I get a chance to get in Max and work with it. Hopefully later tonight. In the mean time I have been going through all the post I can to see what people are telling others. I really feel this is the place to be! I am glad to learn that the posting requirement was dropped! I would have never made 15 by the time limit without some sort of stupid reply to other post. I only make replies when I feel I can truely contribute to the matter. Or when a piece really stands out.

I want to thank the owner, and moderator's of this site for a job well done. I am glad I stuck it out!

Hawktoey : you seem like a nice guy, I'm sorry but this message is old now. If you would check your email that you registered here there is a much better and more fare way of deleting old members. No posts needed , I didnt make either rule up so I cant tell you the specifics but if you will please check your email there should be a new email from us in it. Btw hehe were not that mean, I think you got confused by reading someone elses confusion, no one ever had to donate 15 blueprints hehe. Again sorry and I hope we can all get past this little bump in the road.
