What the hell is the point of that forum if it has 4 or 5 active members? Why not let Fighting 1:18 absorb it?

I think I am 1 of those 4-5, how did the new forum slip past me...???

I dunno... I posted an announcement in the News section a few days ago. It has link to the new site.

Where this forum is primarily 1:18 war related customs, dios, etc... We're hoping to get customizers to add tutorials and have it be the definitive place for all customizing needs as far as tips and tutorials go. I know it's a big undertaking, but we're at least going to give it a shot.

just wondering....why yet another new forum? why not try to achieve that same goal on one of the previous Slayer forums?

He's actually mentioned to me that he'd be fine with not having one. Not sure if he was serious, though. :)

He likes having one, but he doesn't want to have to be the one "pulling the strings" as he has enough on his plate and doesn't have the time.

I guess I don't understand what "Slayer" is.

Slayer Design Studio has been making some of the best sculpts (heads/torso/weapons/accessories) that you can find in 1:18 scale for years now. They were previously GTG Customs, Tri-Gate Creations, and have been Slayer for a few years now. They've had a forum for their fans to talk about all things related to customizing for awhile.

Ah. Do they have a functioning store?

Dave has wanted that to be what set the Slayer Forum apart from others. Due to him not being able to be the Administrator of the forum b/c of his other obligations, he left it in the hands of someone else. Unfortunately, the vision never came to fruition, hence, a new Admin.

As for a new forum altogether. Honestly, Dave hated the other one, but it was the forum program/layout/whateverthecrapyoucallit the Admin that had been appointed requested. So, Dave obliged and swapped to that one. After the other Admin stepped down, Dave decided to swap to a more user friendly forum and one that was more aesthetically pleasing.

Currently, no. Dave makes the molds and casts and that the sculptors send him, but due to a sale he had last year greatly exceeding his expectations, he is trying to get orders caught up and is currently going through chemo treatments after having surgery shortly following SlayerCon earlier this year. This is his 3rd time battling cancer and it's taking a lot more out of him this time.

They do plan on reopening at some point, but Dave is also in the works with leasing sculpts to other casters to sell in their own store.
