wraithride Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I've been away from the rep scene for a little bit, and coming back to the forum I'm surprised to find it so dead here. Are reps losing their appeal? Did everyone go somewhere else to hang out? It's sad to see this place so quiet. WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 There seems to be more actions over in RWI and RepGeek for some reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 True, it seems that some of the longstanding members are less active which is a shame as it's a pleasant site. Reps are still popular and as dvn said the other sites seem busier, but a lot of that is trivial chit chat and lots of back stabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 This is the place for serious experienced gentlemen, no flame parties with witty attacks and counters, no endless noobs (one watch buying wonders asking stupid questions) or witch hunts , gulags, penalty boxes and I use a nuke only as a last resort after a full hearing held." but a lot of that is trivial chit chat and lots of back stabbing. " +1 The guys from all over come here if they are trying to build a watch because most of the brain power/knowledge of the rep world is here. I have see some excellent word smiths next store they pride them selves on verbal exchanges their command of the written language is truly impressive. Now dbane (and plenty of others) could there kick ass on builds, this ain't the debate club watches is why we are here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraithride Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm glad that there are still plenty of watch gurus here. I'll take quiet attentiveness over a cacophony of drama any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 This is the smoking lounge with scotch, cigars and fine wingback chairs ... not the bowling alley.Benson! More Laphroaig neat, if you please. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revere Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I got my start with reps at RWI, and was a pretty stereotypical noob (who has the best sub?!). My interests shifted more towards custom builds which, it seems, is an interest more appropriate for RWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Here it's quality over quantity. Anyone can buy a rep. But turning that rep into a work of art takes time patience and dedication. That's why this community exists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Many times it seems (to me) like a cold wind blowing down an empty alley. Maybe I am just numbed out from reading the same 8 questions 500 times.Builders keep a specialized forum like this going, not tire kickers. Newbies need to read and learn, then stick around and contribute...not just hit and run. Btw, who has the best sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your question; arguably the Russians have the best sub in the Typhoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I heard Joshua has them but there's a problem with the reactor core. Keeps your wrist nice and warm, but you grow testicles on your forehead. Wait for v2.0, it's guaranteed to be 1:1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is more sedate than RWI and RG then bully for those tykes on trikes. We good guys are here and helm the best rep website on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
