We need to establish a working group to hash out the details. There's likes and dislikes about the site that we want to keep or not repeat. Also need to look at other forums that are using this Invision service for their forums and compare.

That seems reasonable.

It will require the complete forum file though, like one you would make as a complete backup at the server level.

The capabilty is out there, I've researched it already.

With AI's help, this entire forum can be updated to a modern forum, retaining majority if not all of the available content. This would help streamline some of the behind-the-scenes site management workload. It would also be much easier to interface Group Builds and special interest events with social media platforms. There will of course be some financial pains involved in the migration process, but I think we have enough dedicated members that with the right fund-raising events, we could make it happen. Just going to need the captain of the boat to jump on board with it.

I'll bet someone out there has this collecting dust on a shelf or drawer, I would pay $50 for one right now!

Being a GB moderator takes a lot of time and dedication, it seems I had a lot more time 10 years ago than I do now for some reason. I found being a GBM was fun and rewarding, but also challenging to keep the momentum going. Someday I hope to have the time to commit again, just need to stop life from getting in the way!

I haven't been on ARC much in the past year due to a big project at work killing all my personal time. This has been a great site for a long time, not sure what turned the tide on it. I know the pandemic didn't help, SBARC had it rough during that time, my hats off to him for keeping ARC alive through all that. I'm hoping to be more active once the big project is finished at work.

I'm seriously considering doing a sledge hammer video on yt like that guy who was trying to build the Kinetic Sufa. I am so burned out on the 1 step forward, 2 step back build quality of the previous F-16 line, I will never....I mean NEVER, consider wasting my time on another Kinetic F-16 kit, don't care how new it is, how good it looks in the box, how many weapons it comes with, the price point, or even being in the same sentance with Tamiya, not going to happen!

Yup, got the decal sheet and a Tamiya Block 42 kit already in the stash!

I agree, but the interested party is insistant on 1/72 scale.

Which hobby shop? I can pass that along to the interested party, he would most likely buy it.

Haven't had any plastic model pics repurposed, but I did have a Chinese company rip off a pic I uploaded of a radio controlled plane I built for their ebay add, their version of the kit wasn't even close to the kit I built.
