Hi all

We're doing well, but that's no excuse for resting on our laurels. As Staff_Jim always says, "Change is good!" - so what new things would you like to see us doing on Aeroscale - or what existing things could we do better?

To get the ball rolling, I'll quote the comments from Phantom 2 (Stefan Ericsson) in the "Onward and Upward" thread:




So everybody - put your thinking caps on - how can we make Aeroscale even better in future?

All the best

Some time ago I have already sent you a heap of "wild" ideas, I won't repeat all these here but I would appreciate some feedback one day if my suggestions are considered to be completely mad (most likely) or purely brilliant (virtually impossible).

For here and now:

As a bit of a computer freak i would like to see some info on the technology used on this site and the ideas about the evolution of this

I would like seeing the personal message system evolve into a complete mailsystem so that i can drop hotmail and yahoo...

Maybe more important because directly related to the hobby:

- a wikimedia system on "the art of aircraft modelling" would be nice. It could start with the content of the already very interesting articles we have on the site, it would make the threshold to contribute with tips and tricks relatively low, it can be completely monitored as to the content, it could constantly evolve to become THE modelling manual on the net...

Hi Drabslab

Let me apologise straight away if I didn't respond to something you sent me! I have to admit this doesn't ring any bells, but I can be such a dunce sometimes, that's not entirely surprising...

I don't know - maybe it was while I was away, but never throw anything away, so I'll check back through my old PMs.

All the best

Rowan

Ow, i did not mean anything negative or aggressive with my remark. You replied with PM something like "I will forward this to Jim" but I never got any feedback as to my suggestions were considered as feasible or not.

Which is not at all that important. Your work and the other staffs work is highly appreciated and I do completely support that you have to concentrate the available time on the priorities of the site and not on issues of third concern.

have fun

Ok from the Early Aviation Hangar.

for the correctness of the report etc etc. . .

Just my thoughts, but as beautiful as this site is, I oftentimes miss a lot of good stuff, because there are just wayyy too many forum divisions. I mean, if I build a Mustang, I'm torn between whether to post my stuff in "WW2" or "Pre-Flight Check", for example. I just think a lot of the various departments can easily be consolidated, thereby allowing the user to see a lot more cool stuff more quickly and easily, rather than having to jump from forum to forum to forum. Maybe just Props, Jets, Armour, Figures, Scratchbuilding, Techniques, Contests, Helos, Buy/Sell, and Feedback. That about covers it all, I think most modeling-related things should fit into any one of these topics. An Off-Topic forum should be avoided, as this is what a P.M. is for, and no one really wants to see photos of my pet guinea pig anyways.

Other than that, I have to commend the staff on their work on this fine website. It is by far the best modeling website I have yet to discover.

Cordially-
Mark
