ssculptor Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I've been a member od HyperScale for umpteen years but I have not been active in it for the last few years. I just tried to go back and see whats new on the site and some punk named TAPATALK said I cannot enter. What happened? Did the modern day Nazis take over that site? "Yah, today der Hyperscale, tomorrow der ganze vorld!" Good thing LSP is still an open forum. Love ya all. chrish, nmayhew and Panzerwomble 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 They’ve been using Tapatalk for a while now. Yeah, Tapatalk is a bit annoying, but don’t understand the references calling them “Nazis”. It just a different forum software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try to access the forum by typing http://www.clubhyper.com/forums/planetradingframe.htm I get the message "www.tapatalk.com refused to connect." On the left side of the screen they list all the forums so this time I picked one of the forums and it appeared. I am not appologizing for referring to them as noxies but I should have remembered that with computers one must try different approaches, pick a bunch of buttons until one works.

Juggernut Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Quote I am not appologizing for referring to them as noxies Well, you should consider it as they're not; they're just people trying to run a business. What their political views/persuasions are is of no interest to anyone but you it seems. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t call them “noxies” or any other cute name. You straight up called them Nazis. Putting some cutsie emoticons doesn’t make it any different. And for what? Because you had a problem getting onto the forum, they’re Nazis? Rick Griewski and nmayhew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckD Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I mean, I'm not super jazzed about their move to Tapatalk as it's riddled with ads, but it's a bit of a stretch to put them in the same bucket with the regime that perpetrated the Holocaust. I'll take your initial comment as I think you intended it - to be tongue in cheek. The link you want for their forum is now here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/?sid=2b61a368ec072cb0cc72386cb3130287 The "clubhyper" link you have above is long since dead. You'll find that missing-lynx (if model tanks are your thing) moved around the same time. chrish and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I dunno….. I don’t think he was being as out of line as some might want to believe. That particular word has evolved since the 40s and has seen so much varied use over the years that it has become a common use descriptor in today’s lexicon in much the same way that coke has come to mean any soft drink. Not sure he making one of those dreaded political statements we are often warned about as much as he was commenting on the other site’s not being as user friendly as it once was. Poor word choice maybe, but we’re all guilty of that from time to time. Just a thought. Not interested in starting a pissing contest; just having the guy’s six a bit. thierry laurent, Jayl, firefly7 and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) No Hyperscale for you! See what I did there? With regard to their forums, I tried for months to get my password / login sorted out. Never got a response, finally just gave up. Edited August 25, 2022 by John1 Oldbaldguy, Christoffer Lindelav and TAG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hyperscale has gone down the wrong road IMHO. The ads are too much visual clutter for me. firefly7 and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first forum I ever found, and as such I frequented it a fair bit back in the day. Nowadays LSP + the Masks forum and the occasional dip into a (shall we say) more British modelling forum will do me.
