  1. Awesome. The DVR had it right but I added 5 mins anyway... I can finally look at this thread... just watched all 8 episodes I was behind... what a ride! Frakkin Helo got to cheat on his wife... but not really got to enjoy it... haha.
  2. Watching it right now... it's good because you can do the show as many times as you want. They're on Stage 2 right now and so far 3 people have passed. It's incredible because some people make it look so easy when they make it, but when they fall it's really heartbreaking... so good!
  3. I'm not really into that version of the Landmate. I'm still wating for the manga version... Book 3 and the Bri powersuit to match with Deunan's Guges...
  4. link me on PM!!!
  5. my apologies... I actually do skip over smileys now, even though I try to use them myself sometimes. All I'm saying was that if Alt.Fan worked so well (even without the spam and adverts), it'll still be around or something else like it would have taken over. Everything loses it's relevancy, as will MW someday. But MW's staying power is pretty good, (thanks to Shawn who still pays all the bills). But it's all the members whose support has kept it momentum pretty strong for a small community.
  6. Not everything in that post was directed at you, just a general explanation of how the site is ran... again... explanations aren't always the best way to get things out I guess. But I think you did miss the whole point about Alt.fan... MW popped up and it took people here, you gotta ask yourself why. And I used the other sites as a counterbalance to that example, but if you have to take things personally so be it... wow and people say I'm thin skinned on the boards.
  7. While I do agree with the sentiment that threads should live and die as they are needed, most member, no... let me rephrase, most vocal members of MW take it upon themselves to ruin a thread that would otherwise be unsuccessful or doesn't fit in with what MW would allow. As I stated in a thread I recently closed, A robotech thread is automatically attacked by members that feel they need to voice they're distaste for Robotech. But if those post weren't made then there would have only been about 5 to 6 posts on that thread that was on topic. Hence an useless old argument is beaten to death again... not because of the original poster, but because of the same attention chasers that used to run rampant on this site. But I can honestly say that those days are over. Some threads are closed because they do not fit in with MW standards, some stay open because they linger on the outskirts of what is acceptable. Some are closed, NOT because they are against the standards but they seem to attract a flame war or some conversations that would certainly be immature. Now that can be labeled as censorship, but I would disagree and I've seldom seen it happen anyway... I'm talking about an extremely rare occasion. Usually the mods wait for a thread to go down in flames before it gets closed... I don't know if that's to prove something or just to give the thread a chance. As for modding... let me try to share my insight a little bit. When I first started moderating this site (and this site is the only one I'm familiar with... I frequent another site but it's just an extension of this one)... when I first started moderating this site, I told myself that I would always try to explain my actions, leave links to any thread that I moved, give warnings on threads that I'm about to close and make sure that all my actions were understood. Man, was that a huge epic failure... because now I left myself open to criticism. I get PMs both thanking me and PMs that disagree, but man... you should see the hate mails. I also get the blame for threads I didnt close, members that were banned, and of course the good old abuse of power accusation. Now I'm gonna be like the other guys, those guys got it right all along... silent moderation... this will probably be the last time I even try to explain my actions. Oh man... maybe that's where the whole Blame >EXO< thing came from... Still don't know where that started, but it's hella amusing. Speaking of other sites... as stated before there are other sites that discuss Macross and off topic stuff. But MW attracts Macross fans because of the fact that it keeps things clean and mostly about the series. You mention Alt.Fan.Macross, but where is that at now? In fact how succesful are the other sites that is mostly Macross and discuss other topics openly? MW is not the most successful forum on the internet, but it ceratinly is a hub of all things Macross (in the English speaking world that is). Now you can see this as elitism but the fact is, it never pretends to be anything otherwise. People on other sites make fun of the fact that were dedicated to one show but it's how they found us and why most people stay. Let's talk about those other Robotech/Macross sites. Valkyrie Exchange had a forum, Twin Moons, Macross Nexxus, etc... Even the other site I frequent, Animepunch... we discuss everything there, but people refuse to go there even though it offers the freedom that members want because it's not Macrossworld. I'll say it again, it's really the small number of people that are vocal that makes it seem like there's a need for us to expand, but the majority of people that aren't voicing out are the ones that matter, because they are satisfied at the way the forums are.
  8. One of my favorites last year.... saw it twice in the theatres... is the DVD out?
  9. I'll let those guys handle it... I'm just gonna bing it up.
  10. looks action packed, unlike the cartoon which was painfully slow and boring... I just dont see what this could bring since we've already seen, Blade, Buffy, Underworld... etc.
  11. It'll look great with your project! We need to get that in at the MWCon when it's done. How to fly it over??? no idea.
  12. EXO

    Yamato $2000 DYRL MACROSS

    you probably can't tell from previous pictures but the 1/60 Destroid Tomahaks underneath kinda gives you an idea...
  13. man I wasn't planning on getting these... but a VF-4, fan racer, fan liner and a Crusader????
  14. It's almost an entirely new sculpt... I gotta give Beagle major props for this one... It's SICK!!!
  15. EXO

    SCOOP thread!

    ok... I'm gonna cheat a little and sneak this one in... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=728238 Here's Macross stuff though... new Yamato 1/200 set including VF-1D, VF-4, fan racer, fan jet and a Crusader. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=728240 New pic of the 1/200 Macross... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=728243

    Yamato $2000 DYRL MACROSS

    Still no Storm Attacker Mode pics!
  17. Here you go... The new Beagle Bartley... exclusive for Macrossworld. (Thanks to Hobby Menace)
  18. Hey don't forget to send back that Mikimoto sketch for this year's drawing....
  19. Oh! We are so stealing that idea for our Con!
  20. That's what I said... it's like Olivia Munn looks way into her 20s now.... gross!
  21. I'm probably late to this, I dont really watch shows on cable... but this is an awesome show! Best gameshow ever... well all gameshows suck. It's like MXC, but you gotta be really fit and superstrong to make it to the last round. It's like Ninja Oympics.
  22. I don't think I would ever say "it's just the internet" doesn't seem like me. I think it was Hurin. From me, it would sound more like this... "It's just the interniatch! SUCKA!!!!" I had a long post in mind also, but being the highest paid hand model, I have to conserve my energy... I got a rolex shoot later...
  23. Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean are all the molds for the Elint, Ostrich, and the strike and the GBP. Maybe in the future the Aliens will come and discover it in what is then a desert. I'm just happy they are coming out in the new 1/60s. I honestly don't even look at my Ostrich after wanting it for so long.
