I often wonder when I see such a full roster, where everyone is hiding. Are you looking at research photos? reading the latest reviews? The tough thing about a chat is the desire to remain, and the difficulty to "cut out" Just a thought maybe I should hit the sack, while you guy's are just hitting your prime!

Well, I usually surf the web with two explorers open; one of them always at Armorama. But, for your question, I usually look to see what's new in the gallery, and what I missed on the forums overnight (or while I'm at work ). Or, I could be drooling over Gunnie's model gallery......That's the good thing about this site though, there's enough updates that you don't need to spend all your time in forums to keep busy!

Actually Jack, I just happen to have the day off, (getting my wife's Grand Cherokee ready for her drive to Scottsdale, AZ.) Right now I'm jumping back and forth between 'Work' on the computer, and 'Play' on the computer. I often just leave Armorama.com on so that I have a ready reference source available, and a ready source of comrades!
Also, if you'd like to know, I am also right now simultaneously watching the film 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' on the big screen.
Sound O.K. ?

Tread.

I keep Armorama open while at work. Not normally able to chat though.

I check in whenever I can mostly to read the forums. There's a lot to be learned that way, and lots of inspiration in the gallery for the next build.

I sometimes keep it running in the background while I work.

If I'm not at work (like today), I'm another one who keeps Armorama open, while I search around the WWW in another window for all sorts of goodies, checking back to see new posts and the like.

And like others here, I tend to have a few things going on at the same time. Model, web searching, TV or music, wife... .

Why are there only 24 in a day?

I spend most my time in the message boards. I have also been following some of the links lately which leaves this site open in the background while I check the other sites out.

:-) So, I guess I'm not the only multi windowed surf commando on the net! Still I do try to stick in a cup of coffee every half hour or so. The problem is that the forums and all are so lively I sometimes get lost in the conterbalance! Whoops didn't notice, guess I picked up another stripe in exchange for bloody finger tips

Way to go Sergeant CaptainJack!

...and no, we're not going through this again...lol

I usually post in 3 time periods: I wake up at 5:30 and run the hills here on the air force base. I'm usually done by 6:00 and I then do some cool down exercises, make coffee and go take a shower, get dressed, etc. I then check the latest posts while I enjoy a cup of coffee around 7:00. I leave for work around 7:30 and get there at about 8:00 (25 miles). I usually check my work e-mail and fire up the computer, my keyboard has those programable buttons at the top and I sometimes hit the Armorama button and let it run in the background for the duration of the day. I check posts throughout the day, but really pay attention during lunch (12:00ish). Sometimes you guys send me out on missions to photograph a particular item, and I try to make time for it in the afternoon since it is not as busy. I then go out for a longer run in the afternoon, anytime between 3:00-4:00, these are usually 30-45 minute runs and are 4-5 miles. I shower and then head home. I post once I get home, which depending on traffic is between 5:00-5:30. After dinner at 6:30, I start posting again. After this I start cutting plastic and setting up any spray painting that needs to be done duing the weekend. Rather boring life.

I do the same as Master Yoda - I log in, in the morning when I get to work, and run more than one browser window. Sometimes I'm prowling the Gallerys too. I jump in between reports, projects, and phone calls, and I log out when I hit the road for home in the afternoon...

Gunnie

Well guys!
I´m also like to post in the lunch time around 11:30hrs (9:30 in US) and after dinner, around 19:30hrs (17:30hrs in US)......And I like to read all posts, check the updates and always keep my Armorama in the background....
Cheers!

I check in at different times during the day, and read the forums and reviews in the evening. If I see anyone in the mess hall, I stop in and say howdy.

WOW!!!! Hey Jim, are you there? You think I could be promoted to that at 1000 posts instead of 'Brigadeer General'? That's a real neato sounding title.... :-)

YodaMan

as i get work every morning, i check my e-mail then log in to armorama.i check the updates and message boards.every time i see at least 4 members and 5 or 6 visitors,but chat rooms are empty in general.maybe,it would be better that higher rank members or volunteer lower ranks can host chat rooms as they are online, to answer visitors questions and to help them in limits.
best regards

YM,
If you'd like you can be "Jedi Knight" at 1000 posts.

Jim

Engin,
That's a good idea. It would certainly help out the new users. I just wish the chat system was a lot less buggy than it is. Mac users have it the worst.

Any volunteers?

Thanks,
Jim

:-) Jim can see you missed out on the military adventure. Never never volunteer. Usually when asking a volunterr to step forward, all the guy's in the know take one step back. But then we are modellers after all, a special breed of creatue so who knows? This site is just going from strength to strength. What with lively intelligent conversations, sprinkled with timely reviews, and interspersed with Rob's excellent research work, and kencelot's web address book who'd want to be anywhere else? Armorama rocks!

Jack just woke up and smelled the coffee yowsa! :
P.S. After 2000 posts does when find themself seated at the right hand of the almighty? (joking, joking)

Wow! Thanks Jim!!!! I'll try to find a new medal type thingie to put by my rank if it's OK with you. I've got plenty of time to find one though. Maybe I could try to put a little Jedi cloak around my avatar too!!! :-) :-)

YodaMan

And what would your Jedi name be? Glu-Gon Yoda?

Hi-larious!

Gunnie :-)

:::seeing everybody step backwards:::

I can volunteer for the "Guest Duty", but it might not be all that interesting since everybody is sleeping, for the most part when I'm on.

Make a "Reception Desk" or something like that??

Amused, I am not.
