OSF Member Introductions . . .

Welcome aboard to all our new members, whether with old names or new, or a whole bunch of them (looking at you, MarkEl).

Hi, just joined today upon invitation from Gubernator Fan.

My first forum was onesixthwarriors. I joined last year June, but was collecting figure around Oct 2016. My first encounter with 1/6th was actually way back, when Phicen first released their first generation seamless figure. However, due to the lack of clothes or accessories, I stopped after 2 figures. Never did i imagine this hobby to have gain such diversity, now anything is possible.

There is learning curve along the way to do this hobby, but it's the forums that sparked something new in my interest that raised the level of my enthusiasm. To share knowledge, pictures, thoughts etc.

I hoped this forum will grow, and will be more opened than the previous forum i frequent. (for example, i can do posts on political figures without worrying deletion from administrators)

Cheers!

Glad to see you made it here.

I understand what you mean about political figures, but "discretion is the better part of valor".

I've been meaning to post/share this for the longest.

Nice signature picture/avatar.

It's up to you, but consider reducing it by 50% and see if makes a difference for you.

New rule:

Ok, let's nip it in the bud... as much as we all enjoy political humor, we do not always agree. So, lest this forum becomes infected by the toxic atmosphere of so-called political discourse in our society, from this point on political posts will be deleted at the discretion of the management.

Sounds fair, reasonable, and not heavy handed at all.

So be it.

Is my new signature photo better?

is this considered political?

answered.

Isn’t anything to do with Arnie potentially political considering he was the governor of the 5th largest economy of the world and all? Once you’ve been a politician, how do you separate it? GubernatorFan! ;-)

I also reserve the right to change my username and branding as it was good enough for Phicen AKA TBLeague .

*just discovered emojis don’t work in the mobile version of this. Know my intent is loaded with winks.

brassco -- well, if that image exposes us to the wrath of hackers from a certain area, it would be great fun watching this forum crash and burn. I do hope we are too small fry to be noticed, considered a threat, and punished. Generally, you should consider another's possible perspective -- what if this is the fearless leader you voted for and someone wants to poke fun at him? The question is not about who is right and who is wrong, but whether this forum is the place to make such arguments (in the form of posts and images) and whether this would (a) offend and (b) lead to complications of any nature. I would err on the side of caution, and posting a potentially controversial image even to ask if it is unacceptable might be considered more questionable than cunning.

MarkEl -- you have every right to choose whatever moniker you want for whatever venue you choose to frequent. Just hard to get used to it. As for the Gubernator, he was Terminator (1, 2, whatever) long before he was governor of California, so such images are clearly in reference to the character and movies, and have nothing to do with politics. I was going to say something about the political aspects, but then remembered we are trying to keep them out... for a reason.

Good call on the political stuff.

There's not a faster way in the world to screw up a fun conversation that the injection of politics.

Those discussions have their places, but not here, me thinks.

Thank you, dadrab, I'm glad you agree.

Sounds good GubernatorFan. Agreed, the topic never ends well.

Glad we agree. I am a firm believer in free speech and the right of people to express themselves, but unfortunately political, social, religious, etc. discourse these days has taken a turn for the worse with self-righteous assertions and recriminations. I would be the last person to want to censure anyone or edit or delete their work (whether I agree with it or not), so I am hoping members will exercise good judgment to begin with. And I know you were being a little facetious in the earlier post anyway.

As for emojis in mobile, you can report this in the technical issues sticky thread (I don't want to hijack this one), but my look through the settings failed to turn up anything useful so far.

Hi guys, nice place you got here. I'm slowly getting back into 1/6, so hopefully I'll have something to contribute in the near future.

Welcome aboard, angryboot!

Oh good! We were in the middle of discussing commission work when I got locked out of OSW! That could have been a bit of a disaster for my next 13 projects!!

I finally made it in thanks to OSW and GubernatorFan. I am glad to see some names I know.

Welcome, Maywong! Great to see you here!

Ephiane!

But how can the Monkey Shoulder not be smooth, when it boast that it is right on the bottle (not usually a good sign)!? For the record, it actually reviews pretty well, as being pretty good for it's price. And I am so ready for an entire figures and bottles thread. As long as we're all drinking while posting.

So glad to see you aboard!
