TRF is a lost cause
You have to love this, after being banned from TRF for trying to sell some used kits in the yard sale section...long story I wouldn't pay the "fee" they wanted. I was a vendor not allowed to sell.
Anyway I now get daily updates about all the posts that I have missed. Kind of like a summary LOL. IS that place now officially on auto pilot? What a joke LOL And yes I sent an email about not being bothered. Got a canned response about welcome to the forum LOL Blocked the email

I joined TRF when there were less than 200 members. Founding member like Milo, Carl Tulanko, Carl McLathorn, Jim Flis, and a whole lot more. For the two NARAMs in Cincinnati I stayed at Carl Tulanko's place. Carl had the freakin' server for TRF in his apartment! I started making nose cones and eventually started making some (not a lot) of nice kits (Well, I thought they were nice). I got 'asked" to stop promoting my products unless I "donated" to their cause. I haven't even looked back...no need ...my TRF is gone. I like it here.

Place is the "Open Septic Tank" of all rocketry sites.

I don't miss that place either
It has turned into just another gonzo rocketry site with people showing off the biggest sparky motor they can buy and bragging about totally inelegant designs. I realize that not everybody was a NAR low-power competitor in the 70s, but this hobby IS fundamentally about science. Unfortunately that seems to go right over the heads of 90% of the members over there.
I just ain't interested in all the "hold my beer and watch THIS!!" behavior over there. And that doesn't even begin to address the way their site is run.

I have noticed NO site is optimal. Just less BS at some than others.

I dunno, it seems fundamentally more satisfying to assume that everyone here is a paragon of rocketry virtue, and that other place is a dumpster fire full of loser yahoos. And to mention it at every opportunity. We'll just ignore the substantial number of folks who inhabit both forums. |
