The other place

[Mike Jordan]

I have looked at the site on occasion but not contributed for many months, a quick look at the joke section sums it up. Had a look today and ran into a wall of intrusive advertising, won’t be trying again I think it’s time to exit completely.

There's another place?

the other place

We don’t mention them here

Welcome Mike. You are more than welcome here and completely free to post there too. I post there from time to time as do many other members. We don't engage in forum wars as there is plenty of room out there on t'interweb!

Pull up a chair and enjoy the Haven.

OK I’m that smart I posted under the wrong heading, I plead guilty and blame overexposure to adverts.

It’s only a matter of going into your profile settings & opting out of adverts, simples.

Forgot about that. :shock:

They have a far more active Scroll Saw forum that I still visit.
Also LumberJocks.

I contributed almost solely to the other place (john15) for many years but this year transferred my interest to W11 and am very pleased I did - lots of good contributors I recognize which has made me very happy..

I still often have a quick look and post the very occasional comment however there is less and less on there that interests me now.
One thread that did pique my interest however was the complaint about increasingly stronger tone begging messages from admin for financial contribution and an example of one such message posted. Not something I've had but I do get the odd invite to subscribe which is immediately binned.

 

[Phil]

I don't get begging letters.

They must have realised I am a blacklisted non-payer with no money :lol: :lol:

 

[Cabinetman]

I never gave them any money so presumably that’s why they don’t pester me, but a quick look every now and then shows me it’s not stuffed with experts as it once was, shouldn’t have treated us all like woke 5 year olds.
Haven’t contributed for a year? and certainly won’t be doing so again.

 

[AJB Temple]

Indeed. I pop in now and again, and occasionally add a comment, but I made a decision when I became active here, not to be active there and especially not to initiate threads. To be frank, neither forum is incredibly active with WIPS but that is partly seasonal: we hunker down in winter.

I haven't looked in there for ages, as a matter of fact, I'm far less active than I used to be on anything including WH2. Between working full-time on the Joinery and doing some other work on the side it's hard to find the time to invest in forum/online activity, I find Instagram a bit easier as it's more streamlined and I can post a quick "story" to get a bit of engagement, and I don't have to be sat at the computer.

I do have a lengthy machine restoration in progress, which realistically shouldn't have taken as long as it has for such a simple machine (coming up to 2 years at this point) and I will eventually write up a WIP here on it as I've been taking photos along the way.
