It's not a company. It's just a guy who ran a forum for fellow painting enthusiasts for many years, recently decided he didn't want the cost and hassle any more, and in response to requests from a few of the members there, opened up a Fb group instead. So that those people could continue to discourse and share their painting with their friends from the former forum. That's it. His choice. Their choice. Let's not make a great big drama out of it  ::)


I am sure we all have our "small slice" of the war game communities (plural) of the war game hobby and think it is representative.  FB is a choice, like LAF, that people make.  Pursuant to Captain Blood's comment I will only say that I will check it out, thanks for the notice for a source I was not aware of before.

I'll miss the old forum : I was a regular there for the past six or seven years and I'm a little sad to see it gone. I'll probably end up joining the new FB page despite my aversion to Facebook but it won't be exactly the same.

Still, I understand the decision : the SD forum had become a pretty slow place these past couple of years with many of the old faces no longer posting, and you could tell Steve's heart was no longer entirely in it.

I go sick for a couple of months, Steve's forum closes and Trump's in the Whitehouse, for fuck sake! :o

Great site and sad to see it gone. Now I understand not being able to access it for the last couple weeks or so.
Unfortunately I also do not use facebook.  :-[
