Mmm. It's handy having the parts in different colours (I prefer to dye rather than paint if large areas or parts that move) but there hasn't been a lot of variety overall and boots don't really fit wi...

@disneyboy "wouldn't only Val be able to back-up the site?" -- from the point of view of getting a database backup including private messages, private forums, etc, yes. Copying everything publicly ava...

I think the problem was trying to keep the forums operational as they were, on that hosting. Having a domain and site that's been running for 25+ years (we were on the first page of Google results for...

Yeah. I've seen some decent versions of Adora, Marlena, etc, but the only options much beyond that are the WWEternia wrestling figures or things in a similar scale (e.g. Diana in the D&D line, eve...

Yeah, I figured it was worth posting in the closing thread to mention options but I assume that decisions had already been made and/or things were on a tight timetable. Assuming there's a proper offli...

It's more in proportion at different resolutions. I've never done anything with bbPress but I'm guessing it's possible to style the #site-navigation nav block so that it has less height/padding, somet...

I need to find time to dust, tidy up, finish painting some things, take photos in decent light, etc. Also colours usually look different in photos to in person. But here's some quick ones I'd already ...

Yeah, Todd does some amazing work and apparently bought tons of Classics figures as custom fodder when they were easier/cheaper to get hold of. The tutorial streams were very handy when Origins was ge...

The way a friend who hosts TFArchive does it, he rents a server and is technical enough to keep the Linux environment up to date himself. We've never discussed actual costs but there've been plenty of...

Assuming that still happens, it's going to take a while just to download final backups including everything up to the closure. Or the plan might have been to create a static archive from the site whil...

Yeah, I think bbPress (the WordPress plugin the forum seems to be) is very much optimised for mobile. On a normal 24" monitor the header is huge. And there's quite a bit of padding in the navigation b...

Add to that the contract and hosting spec might not have been reviewed recently. The host was presumably running older versions of stuff (the vBulletin install wouldn't have run on newer) which might ...

Cheers, definitely easier to find stuff.

The way we've done it elsewhere has tended to be a forum for [franchise] toys and merchandise including customs, a forum for "other" toys and merch, a forum for official media, a forum for fan art/fic...

Not sure if the forum rules just prohibit posting stuff that's technically still under copyright but unavailable, or are also intended to cover discussion about it, but here goes and apologies to mods...

...and it feels a bit weird posting similar things on two new forums. I haven't been active at the Org for a decade plus and don't really have much time for forums these days. But figured I'd join and...

Unless you've got a lot a very large number of active users (hundreds or thousands) and really need them, it's harder to keep momentum with lots of subforums. Just unsolicited advice from someone who...

Was just going to post the same. Ideally the header image would be about half the height it is on forum pages, and there be less padding on navigation bar underneath, otherwise they take up a lot of s...
