wow, Couldn't get to the site in a couple days, dizzying to read all thats been said. I think my first responce was more in terror of TFMs problems and I thought the site going to seibertron was just a sudden solution so he would be able to deal more with his own stuff. Thats why I was up for donating cash. I never wanted to take anything away (name/content wize). I was never all against the move, and now that I hear the details I am sold. I've been using the Gallerys over there as a resorce to figure out what bots to buy for a couple years now, and have never had anything bad to say about them. I just never really invested myself into their forums. One was enough to occupy me. Now only thing thats changing is which one that is. No biggy.
So in the mean time of trying to figure out ways to raise capital (even though thats not really the goal anymore) I came up with a few good thoughts. Once a week we have a KB auction proceeds to go directly to the site. This way we could have a chance to win a kitbash from one of our friends here. Then since I'm not very good at actually finishing KBs and therefor don't have many complete ones to offer I had a less intimidating idea. A KBshed Part. Something someone could easily plug into their own bought Bot. I have quite a few where they are basically the key part of a Minor Mod, maybe a resculpted head, maybe a new chest plate, whatever. Something that not every member could easily do on their own. Some people are much better at scratchbuilds and styrene work. Others are amazing at painting. Myself, I'm pritty damn good at cutting/filing/sanding on a small scale (jeweler skills). If people dont like the auction idea because then the artist is missing that one key part, how about, send me your unaltered head and I'll send you back my version of it, proceeds to go to...
what cherity now that TT is safe? Maybe a help TFM and family move across the country fund. Sorry if you are one who doesn't want random financial help. You've just done so much for me, for all of us, I feel like I should help any time you mention you are in hard times.
till all are one.
