Yes - you read it right! I'm the New Mgmt of this forum. I have been passed the baton by Mark the MakerGuy - who has completely removed himself from the world of 3D Printing - including the fact he no longer has ANY 3DP's!
Now - the deal is - Andy the Podcast guy - he created a new forum like this one - back last Sept. - and I would like EVERYONE to move over to that forum. Now, I could supposedly Add everyone to the new forum - since I am Admin in this group. But, problem is - it would include a lot of inactive people - which makes NO SENSE to add them!!!
As such, I am ASKING - although, in a way - almost DEMANDING - that EVERYONE here that is Active - and wants to stay active in a forum like this one - PLEASE join the New forum! Here is the link to the new forum:
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/3d-printing-tips--tricks
I will, soon - possibly VERY Soon - Lock down this forum so that
no further postings can occur! But, I won't do that quite yet. I
wanted to give everyone enough warning before doing so.
Is it Really - Mr. Rifle Guy?
:-)

Touche!
Of course, for some years - my postings come across as "VRFX" - and a Lot of people knew me only as that- which was weird. It was just a strange setting in the forum. Then, a while ago - I finally got it worked out - so my name comes across as my name. Of course, I have used the moniker as Bot-Guy, which I initially came up with for my 2nd year exhibit at NYC World Maker Faire. And, of course, I also became known as the guy doing the Dragons - 1st the 4.5 foot long one, then the 9 foot long one! Thus my humorous usage of multiple Aliases...

Also, no one has "reviewed" a printer in this group for like a year or two, so maybe "tips and tricks" is better than "tips, tricks, and reviews" :-)
Excellent point about the reviews - and thanks for confirming I'm going in the right direction with the changes to the forum!

Google Groups activity is falling, so I definitely think we should be moving in the direction of combining groups rather than splitting groups.

Any particular reason to force the switch? If it's not broken why "fix" it?
Hey Joe!
Will admit - that's a rather creative thought. Fact is - I wrote
to a bunch of guys asking for help to Mod this forum (and I did
include you if I remember right). And, one guy suggested shutting
this one down and suggesting people move over to Andy's forum.
Then, Andy also suggested that was a good idea.
Keep in mind, part of the reasoning was that this forum has
gotten VERY Quiet the past few months. I did a quick peek at both
forums. I had my email open - and was viewing about 12 emails at a
time. So - if I paged backwards about 5 times - each a set of 12.
I found that in the New forum - it went back a few days worth of
time - lets say 4 days. But, in this Old forum - the same thing
revealed that it went back nearly a Month! So - the activity is SO
Low here - that's why it was suggested to close it down.
Now - that being said - its not a Bad idea - to have Andy take over this forum, and maybe shut down his new one. But, not sure if he would like the idea. I will, however, send this reply his way - and see what he thinks. As I am trying to keep an open mind as to the options...

OK Sub-ordinate forum member whose not a newbie - I will try to
do that!

Is it possible that it would get shut down or erased if people don't use it after a period of time? If Andy became a moderator and people switched back that would be cool. In the end in good with either one.

I beg to differ - there's A LOT of info here. And, newbies should Search here before answering questions! Since, many times - the questions were already asked & answered! Including Many, MANY Responses from JetGuy!

Hello there Mr. Huge Johnson!
Sorry - your posting was caught in the SPAM Filter by Google - and I just found it - and allowed it to go thru. OF course, Maybe Google thinks you're from a Porn co. with your name!!! (Although - I know its a Nickname/Alias - and not a REAL Name - based upon prior emails with you!)
As for the Inactive 1500 - that's purely a Guestimate!
You may be in the New Forum - but, you sure have not posted! You must be the Biggest - I mean - the HUGE Lurker!!!
:-)

Agreed.
The forum needs to remain available for searching. That is necessary.
An eternity indeed! Although, I thought your point with your last reply was that that MOGG forum (where I began my 3DP endeavors) - wasn't really useful since you figured nobody searches that forum even though it was locked down 4.5 years ago. But, I see you really tried to make TWO Points - the second being that its still around after all these years!
FYI - I have now Passed the Baton again - Andy the Podcast Guy is our new fearless leader of this forum!!!
-K-
