chuck540z3 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just LSP these days. I used to be a big time ARC contributor, but then it got real weird- and that's all I'm going to say about that. I'm glad I tuned into this thread, because I forgot all about Britmodeler. I'd like to build another 1/48 scale Lancaster and the Non LSP Works forum here doesn't draw enough interest for all the work a WIP thread entails. Britmodeler should, so maybe that will be my next model and next forum to try. Cheers, Chuck chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it all the time intentionally You know you have it bad when you start using the term "TLA" meaning "Three-Letter Acronym" . And despite being more than 8 years retired from a job that involved plenty of TLAs, I'm still guilty! Incidentally, to go back to @mozart's query that started this little diversion, "SME" can also stand for "Small-to-Medium Enterprise", generally meaning a business employing about 250 people or less. My last job before retirement involved both meanings, and it could get confusing. Edited November 6, 2020 by MikeC Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ironic thing about this term is that it's not technically an acronym, which is defined as any abbreviation comprised of the initial letters of component words that is pronounceable as its own word. In other words, a new word made from the initial letters of other words. TLA is simply a form of abbreviation colloquially known as an initialism. By contrast, NASA is a prime example of an actual acronym. Kev mozart, MikeC, Gazzas and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have an account at Britmodeller.... but it didn't take long to get bored with the place. This is one of the few places where it seems like there is somebody around all of the time. A lot of places seem like ghost towns in the Aussie Afternoon. mozart, Out2gtcha, LSP_K2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I joined Hyperscale many years ago, but about 10 years ago I decided it was not worth the s... that happened over there. By then I had found this place and it's the only place I go these days (nice people and great stuff) if we are talking dedicated modeling sites (lol except web shops naturally ) I have a private group with my friends on facebook where we do a lot of talk, show and tell/ask, and general stupid comments (great). However I do try to limit myself as I find too much time on the web cuts into my build time... mozart, Gazzas, Out2gtcha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi all! My "home on the net" where I post is mainly here on LSP and IPMS Gothemburg. I frequently visits Hyperscale, Modelling Madness and IPMS Stockholm, but no postnig on these sites. Cheers! Stefan Gazzas and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Seems a lot of the old haunts are either slowly dying off, or have turned strange or have so many dang adds its nearly impossible to navigate. Jeff T, LSP_K2 and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Only here. I'd rather spend my time building than posting. And I like it around here. Nice helpful folks, and no spam or politics. Cheers, Michael LSP_K2 and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Only here, mostly because of the friendly folks and the plethora of modelling subjects being discussed. Building has become a hard to do thing for me so I try to get my daily fix in written. Other places proved useless.
