Hobby 3D isn't dying at all, but these forums have been for a while now. But if you think  this section is bad, check out the Vue section, hardly anyone there at all.

After all these years perhaps we've just asked what we wante to ask, discussed what we wanted to discuss and it's time to move on?

For me it's just focuss.... I've just got less time to spent in the forums then I used to have, there are so many demands these days. Kids growing older, having grandkids, started my own business and all that comes with that, learning new technologies, expanding my art vision and toolbox. I also spent more time in the galleries, posting there, commenting on artworks, it's a bit of shift for me, going from the forums to the galleries.

I also find that most of the regular and simple questions have been answered and a lot of questions asked now are so specific that I wouldn't even know how to answer them at all. Some other things I don't dare to answer, since my solutions (while working fine) have ticked of some of the over-technical people, somehow making them angry and that didn't always ended well. So, I'll keep my mouth shut on purpose at times.... if people only want complex solutions fine with me.

Of course there's Hivewire.... if I have questions or want to participate in some discussion, I'll post there. I'm moving my store from here to Hivewire3D due to constant partially show to certain vendors by the store staff at the expense of others. Hivewire just is a lot friendlier site then this one is. Rendo somehow has become cold and unfriendly.

Adding it all up means less activity in the forums for me.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
