Before Yahoo groups became impossible to enjoy...
« on: August 03, 2014, 03:55:31 PM »
There were groups for 15 mm SF, 15 mm, Fantasy assorted 15 mm historical periods.

Are there group sites where people who enjoy 15 mm gather on-line.

LAF is obviously a favorite of mine but not 15 mm focussed.  TMP not to be considered.  Any other web places?

Gracias,

Glenn

What is so impossible to enjoy about Yahoo Groups? I am still apart of a few of them and really dont have an issue.

Finding groups that are of interest without wading through multiple groups that are not.  Seems much harder to find groups than before.  Lots of groups are not found that used to exist and no way to know if it is my search terms or groups were deleted (several of which I have eventually found out about from old owners/moderators.)

Gracias,

Glenn

Do you, as initially requested, have any other places you go to find out about 15 mm miniature, besides Yahoo, TMP, and LAF?

Just accept that some people loathe it and that this is usually a personal preference :) I'd rather use almost anything other than Yahoo Groups.

Just curious, do you get messages emailed to you?

Yes, sadly yahoo just hasn't kept up. I still get email digests from several groups, but the majority get deleted on sight as I can't be bothered to read them. A few groups are still useful for scenarios, to&e info etc.

Well depending on what genre i am looking for in 15mm.
But past the three you mentioned and Yahoo groups i hit a lot of blogs. I do find for the most part when it comes to 15mm lots of 15mm BLOGgers are a great resource. I will look through my list. Also, hitting the company forums of the places that make the 15mm minis is a great resource as well. BF for FOW for one example.

Just curious, do you get messages emailed to you?
Yes i do.
