Last post by J. Wilhelm - September 14, 2024, 09:42:12 PMQuote from: von Corax on September 14, 2024, 01:15:56 PMI have had an expression of interest in Brass Goggles' acquisition by a network of hobbyist sites. I have politely declined, as I wish to maintain Tinkergirl's commitment to keeping Brass Goggles advertisement-free.
Network of Hobbyist Sites??
Color me skeptical. Also, make sure they're not confusing the Forum with another venue, like (I believe) a Facebook group of the same name. There's more than one Brassgoggles nowadays.
PS I would also be mindful of any intellectual property rights. Nagy, Herr Döktor, et. al. And last, but not least your humble servant. Though I arranged to retain ownership of the iCog Mercury laptop, this was a contract with Sony America.

Last post by Justin Time - September 14, 2024, 04:55:09 AMQuote from: SeVeNeVeS on September 13, 2024, 05:53:33 PMI'm slightly pissed off with you all to be honest.
How dare you think that you have any right to be "pissed" at everyone here.
No one here owes you or anyone else here anything. This is a free forum. There is no guaranteed level of frequency of entertainment or feedback. The few that try to keep things going whether through technical operations or content do so when they have time and something to contribute, and do so for free.
It would be great if there was more activity, but real life takes priority for most people. That's just the reality of it.
I, personally, only sign in and say something when I have time and something to say.
Not everyone eats, breathes and sleeps on this forum.
Only you can decide if the forum is "dead" or unworthy of your time.

From what I understand, he has published the drawings for making your own Carpentopod.

The Engine Room / Re: ??
Last post by James Harrison - September 13, 2024, 06:21:27 PMThere's a military fiction forum I'm a member of that can and sometimes will go months without new material. But when something new does land, it comes back to life.
I typically struggle to find things to talk about other than various projects I'm involved with, and of those one I'm lucky if I can update once every three months and the other would bankrupt and kill me if I spent more than half the year on it. And I'm not the sort of person to comment on other people's work unless I have something more productive to say than simply, 'nice'.
I'm sure if/when Facebook and Twitter implode the place will liven up again but until then...

Last post by SeVeNeVeS - September 13, 2024, 05:53:33 PMMy question............Is this forum finally dead?
No one seems to reply to posts these days, although I often see members log on twice a day. IF we are dead please let me know so I can move on, some Mods/ governors haven't logged in for years, current "active" members say nothing. I'm slightly pissed off with you all to be honest.
What is the point any more? I do try to be enthusiastic to new members but..... PLEASE convince me this is a minor 6 month glitch......
Won't be holding my breath
I'll check back in a year for any replies.
