There is nothing we can say as we have no control over this aspect of the network.

Quite worrying actually. Staff without control, and those with control (at least I hope that those exist) don't answer the question.

Armorama staff doesn't get paid for the work performed on this site. The time we spend on the site editing, moderating and publishing content, as well as behind the scenes, is our free time... often quenched by family obligations, house chores and sometimes even "real" work.

My personal opinion is the app is not a priority of Kitmaker network. There are far more pressing issues to deal with... gallery comes to mind. Besides, I'm often visiting Armorama using my mobile phone and I never encountered many problems there.

Interesting to read these comments. One question I have then is. If you never update the website. If you don't do you maintenance. Or any other thing to keep this site/forum in good running condition. How are you suppose to fix issues and help users out? How can you guarentee safety of for example user information?
Think these are some important questions to answer in my opinion.

I know, and users should be and are greatful for the effort you put in but this has little to do with the fact that those who know do not respond to a valid question

Again, I agree, the list of things to improve is quite large, but again, this only emphasises that the network seems to have an issue which is alrger than an app.

Sorry for the short tempered response.

You have to understand the website is actually a one-man-band with regard to the coding and stuff.

However, things like this entire paragraph:
‘If you never update the website. If you don't do you maintenance. Or any other thing to keep this site/forum in good running condition. How are you suppose to fix issues and help users out? How can you guarentee safety of for example user information?’
From a member who just recently joined the network shows a lack of respect for all the work on this site in my opinion.

I do or did like this forum. Because it is the most active place for scalemodelling I know. And I got nice replys to my questions or other things. And now this.

And now this.

Hello Jim,

I didn't really know what was going on behind the scenes. But now I hope to understand a bit better.
Yes it is true that I don't speak the English language flowing. And I do sometimes struggle to find the right words to describe what I mean. But I'm doing the best I can. And if that isn't enough or I'm triggering answers that I don't like or that feel offensive to me.
Then it is best maybe better to find a Dutch forum or a forum with more room for mistakes. And where there are less people that are replying in a way that discourages me.

Don't go away, we want to see you succeed with your airbrush and develop your painting skills.
By using your English often and occasionally getting it corrected your English will improve.

Mijn excuses, maar dat zou nu echt de verkeerde reactive zijn. Dit network bestaat hoofdzakelijk uit mensen die het heel goed menen. Misschien zijn ze niet altijd even diplomatisch of durven ze expliciet zeggen dat ze met iets niet akkoord zijn, maar dat is veeleer een zegen dan een vloek.

Ik kan je ervan verzekeren dat het er op sommige nederlandstalige fora veel harder aan toe gaat, waar het soms echt de bedoleing is om te kwetsen.

Blijf, en je zal hier heel veel leren, en enkele heel goede lange afstandsvrienden maken.

Really, when it comes to forum, and advice, and politely correcting errors; this site here beats all competition.

Now let them all learn some dutch trying to decipher the above :-)

Wow! Its hard to believe I have been a member of this site for 17 years! That said, yeah the site is a little old, and the gallery has always been a bit of an issue but I find this site to be comforting in alot of ways because it hasn't really changed. This IS the best modelling site by far in my opinion. Thanks to you Jim! If this site were to ever shut down.....well, it will be a sad day for the modelling community. No other site is as welcoming and diverse.
