It's Time for another "Where the Hell is Everybody" Thread.
I have been off and on the forums over the last month or so and have seen an alarming trend. Very little stimulating arcade talk. What's up? Everybody getting out of the hobby? On Vaca? Getting pissed at the way they be runnin' the Chat About Anything section? Hell when there are good arcade-related threads (not to be confused with the drama-filled negative feedback threads that seem to get everyone's attention for a month or more) started they seem to die in about 3 or 4 posts. It would be fun to have a few feel-good arcade threads started again that actually see some participation.
As a side note, I've also noticed a strange trend in the Restoration (showcase) section. Why are people starting resto threads with a pic of a beat cab that they found for $20 and nothing else? I get it, you're showing the 'before' pic and proclaiming to everyone your intentions for a future resto, but don't you think you should be finished with it (or at least get beyond the 'moving the dirty cab from your truck to your garage' stage) before starting a thread? I can't tell you how disappointing it is to see a "Star Wars Upright Restoration" thread and then seeing a beat cab with zero restoration even started yet. Most of those people never even come back to their own thread with updates, so what's the point? Motivation to start? It isn't working.
Anyhoo, seems like there are a lot of people slacking lately. Time to step it up. I need motivation to finish some of these arcade projects in my garage*.
*PS: My TRON has been sitting here for 4+ years and has never even been a complete working machine since I owned it.
