Well that was a bit - vehement SilverWarder Send a noteboard - 06/07/2010 08:11:07 PM
I might do it, but everyone's outlook is different. Were I Ben I might keep it too - possibly frame it or something.

At this point in my life I've gotten too much junk and I have seen evidence of what too much junk can become (remind me to tell you the tale of my grandmother's barn someday).

Not too long ago I brought some of my old model kits back with me from the US. Amongst them was one of the original Space 1999 Eagle Transporter kits. I'd built it in my mid to late teens and done a reasonably good job on it. Nothing fancy, mind, but not a hack job. No fancy blending, weathering or airbrushing. Just painted reasonably nicely.

Well a friend of mine was over while I was doing this and immediately began raving at how cool it was and how lucky that it had survived all these years, how it had been one of his fave shows as a kid etc. While I had some attachment to it (I'm sentimental that way) the choice was easy. "Here, then. It sounds like you'll get a lot of enjoyment from it so I'm happy for you and I know it'll get treated with affection." Being sentimental, it was important that I didn't give it away to some random person or to someone who would just chuck it.

So really, the idea was based on - "Here is something I don't know what to do with, what is best?" Giving it to someone who would treasure it, particularly if it's becoming a burden, is a good thing to do.

Mind you, Mike might indeed not have any desire to own it. That would be important to find out first.

And while I agree that I like what wound up happening to Wotmania/RAFO, and I'm sure it wouldn't have happened in the same way on Dragonmount, Mike did bring us all together. And, what's more, by allowing others to use all the code for Wotmania (or at least a lot of it) also contributed to RAFO being what it is. So, for me, credit where credit is due - even if his initial idea wasn't the greatest.
May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.
