With all this KS Madness going on right now i'm a bit concerned that LAF soon will be flooded with KS related Threads.I dont expect every Thread to be a LAF Mammoth Thread with over 30 Pages of Eye Candy but i would appreciate it lol When you're using the Search Function now you'll find plenty of 1-2 Pages Threads with Pictures that already have been removed or deleted :'(
Is this the Future of LAF? 28 different "My Judge Dredd Stuff" on the Future Wars Board and 42 Threads of People showing their Reaper KS Minis?
i say more Community less Ego:why not just start a Thread like "post your Reaper KS Minis here",that Doctor Who Thread on the Future Wars Board is a perfect Example of how it could be handled.Maybe there should be Limitation of how many Threads someone can start? :-X
again i'm not talking about someone posting a new Release and i gladly would like to see 42 different takes on the Reaper Purple Worm but do i really need to browse 16 different Threads on 5 different Boards (The Future,the Postapoc,the modern/other,the Workbench,the Cthulhu...) to see some Pics of painted Zombicide Minis?I dont want to turn this Forum into a virtual Miniature Cataloge,a bit more Focus on the started Threads would be fine.It makes much more Sense to start a Dr.Falkenhayns Sci-fi Stuff instead of 5 Threads with my near Future,Cyberpunk,Terminator,Alien,Star Trek Stuff.Does it makes Sense to start a Star Trek Thread when the only Thing i can show is a black undercoated single Mini?

No.
If we make it "painted minis only" and Reaper bones piles act anything like typical lead piles, I wouldn't expect to see more than a dozen of those five million sold minis in this decade. lol
-
I dont agree with anything of what you wrote, not a single thing. I want to be able to make my own threads, period.

What's KS?
-
I'm guessing KS = Kick-Starter?

That's life. The things have changed. There is Kickstarter now and LAF was getting a big community. Every one has to tell a story about his hobby and perhaps sometimes these stories aren't that interesting for you or someone else. But they're interesting for other members for sure. Being a part of a huge community like this means to learn to be more tolerant.
I'm not able to create every week new rules for new situations and I am surely not going to do so. Also I don't want it. So just don't open the topics you don't want/have to read. This is the only advice I can offer.

I'd like to add that it should make no difference where a miniature comes from, be it a kickstarter project or just bought off some retailer.

Sorry Dr Falkenhayn but I am a big fan of zombicide. There are many threads on this forum I can't be bothered about. I just don't read them. I have my miniature niches, other people have their favorite miniature line/period. I think prof. Witchheimer is right it is just a case of "live and let live". :)
Regards,

Well I'm certainly not in favour of more rules about what people can or can't post, but I confess I'm already sick of seeing the words 'Kick starter'.
And no, I'm not as tolerant as I should be :)
But like most wargaming fads, it won't last forever.

Yeah, like that internet thing! ;-)

This...
Every one has to tell a story about his hobby
... is what LAF has always been about for me.

I am terribly excited about my Red Box Kickstarter minis that are coming, so expect to see something as soon as I get them! And yes, it may start w/ a pic of the contents of my goodie box!
As long as KS gets minis made that otherwise wouldn't be, I'm a fan. Where is all the hatred for KS coming from? I'm happy to help the little guy, and if a big company sells something I want via KS, or whatever, I'll get it, esp. if I can get a sweet deal. Does that mean I've been manipulated, or I won't spend the $$ on some other sweet deal? NO, it means I made a choice...
-
If I am not interested in reading a thread I just skip over it. There are plenty of subject on here that don't interest me but there are others that want to see it. I like to see whatever is coming up or new in my interest area and every thing else I just skip over. What I like about here is we get so much information & often before it comes out other places.
-
I agree that we don't need to implement new rules (for now), but with this increase of posts of more and more disparate topics I maintain that improved profile filter settings would be a blessing. I am not saying that it is something Alex can provide like that *snap*, but it is something to be on the look out for at SMF.
-
How mentioned once, the next version of SMF software allows to “ignore” boards for users. So you would be able to pick up your themes. But such a forum migration isn’t that simple so I guess I will need a vacation of 3-4 days just for this. My plan is to try the update on coming Christmas holidays, but no promise as life is getting busy for me.

This is what I meant by the '*snap*' bit, Alex. I am fully aware it s not a small undertaking. Far be it from me to it expect you to do it, I would just consider it an improvement.
While in the end this forum is your baby to do with as you like, I would want for my own reasons to see it grow and become better. Therefore I would definitely be happy to, again, support a rally to finance an upgrade, even for the time you spend doing so.
