Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi fellow LSM-bers! I can remember, not so long ago, stepping into this venture called LSM. It was Jim Hatch that invited me and asked me to help out and I have enjoyed doing so every single day. There have been ups and downs. Highs and lows. Working alongside HK Models. Getting our logo on the Mossie packaging must have been a high... As is Welcoming our 2000th member! I am proud to say that we have built a name for ourselves, producing the highest caliber reviews around. I am proud of Fran and our team-up with Wingnut Wings Fans. Because lets be honest... they belong with us! Proud of all the modelers that simply build, share and contribute. So thank you to all! Keep joining, posting, enjoy and last but not least.... Build Large Scale!! Cheers, Jeroen 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted August 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2015 It's been a long, hard slog, but we have a nice little community here. Great to have you all with us, participating and building. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarEast Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Very nice, however sadly the active membership is far far less, just based off some quick Search-Fu I did regarding why the Group builds have such poor attendance. "these forums have a little over 2000 members with many of those either being lurkers or bots 1380 Members that have made zero contributions/posts to the forums, we have 1660 members that have made 5 or less posts in total, which means that you have about 300 odd members that are active on the forums, not all of them actually build."

True. But this is the same on forums like Large Scale Planes. Since LSM is much younger, i reckon the percentage of active members is relatively higher. In the end it's the spirit, atmosphere and content that matters. Right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted August 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2015 Many forum memberships vs participation is at odds. I've been told that active members vs statistics can be as little as 12%, but typically between 15% and 20%. I don't think we're doing too bad, plus it's the community that matters, not statistics. We don't go chasing them, and are happy with progression. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarEast Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I must say though this is the only forum I'm actively a member of the other being ww1aircraftmodels.com - which I'm currently just a lurker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Congrats Jim and Jeroen on the accomplishment! LSM is now the only Internet modeling forum that I belong to and participate in. Keep up on the good work Gents! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thank you Mods... Cheers guys! We do our best!It certainly is appreciated. The measure of an online Forum is not just the contributions of the Members, but also the tone and content set by the Moderators. This is what makes LSM a standout IMO, despite the small Membership. Thanks Guys, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahunaminor Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Informative, talented and occasionally amusing, LSM is a nice fit in a sometimes frantic internet modelling scene. Congratulations to the Admin , the contributors and those who just lurk. Regards, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
