Guerrilla

Here:


Or you could just Google image search for a rocket. I'm pretty sure it'll be on the first page.
(We should really get a new rocket)

Pretty much all our logos are based on scifi shows, movies and games. There's about 30 of them I think.

... things are running smoothly and everyone seems to be more or less settled in, so now seems like a good time to spend a moment asking What do you want?

Is there anything you particularly like? How about dislike? What would you like to see more of? What new features (or old features) would you like to see? Is there something that would totally make you visit more often? Is there something keeping you from visiting more often? Should we use more social media? Less social media? Did you even know we have a bunch of social media accounts? Do you only use the Discord? Do you want challenges? Video content? Live streaming? Podcasts? Reviews?

Basically, let us know, how we're doing, and what we should be doing instead.

Introducing a feature no one really asked for, but what the heck.

Added Home Page Settings to everyone's Profile. This little plugin lets you choose, whether you want to end up on the Main Index or Recent Posts when you visit https://forums.scifi-meshes.com

Most of you probably have a bookmark or something that does the exact same thing, but the ones that don't... you're welcome.

Here's the announcement video, since I didn't see it in the thread already

@erionmarina45 we've been through this. Please stop digging up old thread that haven't seen any posts in years. Necroposting is against the rules here and really annoying.

This one seems to have gone pretty smoothly. New system up and running, and old stuff migrated to the new one without a hitch.

As usual, please report any bugs (with Points, Badges, and Reactions specifically in this case) you find here.

TLDR: It's been two years since the big server move. Tell us how we're doing.

Another year has passed (and what a fun one this one turned out to be ) since the big migration, so I figured now's a pretty good time to ask for some feedback, as well as maybe spend a moment contemplating where to go from here...

But first, some numbers:

• 1472 members logged in on the new forums since the move. (984 this time last year)
• 589 new members have registered. (306)
• However, out of those 138 have turned out to be spammers and have been banned. (103)
• 609 threads have seen activity since the move and there have been 499 new threads. (335/269)
• 23 models have been released in total. (13)
• There have been 16354 posts since the move. Posts have been liked 22501 times in total, and we've dished out 4327 badges.

Since this time last year, we've added a few features:

• Commissions open option in the profiles. This one isn't very widely used, but you do see the little icon pop up every now and then. I'd actually be curious to hear, if this feature has helped anyone? Have you gotten work or ordered work because of it? Would you like to see it developed somehow?
• Finally sorted out autosaving options, so you get to choose whether the forums autosave your drafts. A lot of people have disabled these, and this is probably the most widely used new feature.
• Sorted out automatic image resizing on the thread thumbnails. This has made a big impact on our bandwidth usage, and hopefully you've seen page loads improve as a result.
• Pointless zoom effect on thread thumbnails. Hope you like it as much as I do
• A bunch of little tweaks to Profile fields to make them more usable and improve the selection. Is linking to your other accounts out there useful to you, or is this place just starting to look too much like MySpace?
• Added CG applications to profiles. Again, is this a feature you enjoy or do you dislike more visual clutter?
• Thread scores to make likes have a visible impact on people's threads.
• Unsubscribe option to threads you've participated in, but don't want notifications for.
• Hooked up an easy to remember Discord invite at https://discord.scifi-meshes.com
• Turned off the kind of pointless front page, since the forums are really where it's at.
• A number of improvements to handling your data on SFM like the ability to download your data for review and delete your profile without needing an admin.

Anyway, that's what I've been up to. How do you think we've been doing?
Is there anything you particularly like or dislike about the site?
Are there some new features you would like to see here? Are we missing something really essential?
Is the site easy and fun to use?
Is there some content you would like to see from us (you know, official Scifi-Meshes stuff)? Or are you just here to look at other members' work?
Are you streaming your work, selling models or taking commissions? Is there something we can do to help you promote those things?
Are you interested in people streaming work or taking commissions, or just here for the forums?
Any interest in challenges?
Have you checked out the Discord yet? Do we mention Discord too often?
Have you checked us out on other socials? Are FB, Instagram and Twitter actually useful social media to you? Or to us? Or anyone really?

Basically, tell us how we're doing.

I'm guessing it's one of those "you need to have a certain number of posts" or "been a member for a certain amount of time" things. I did hunt for guidance in other parts of the forum to confirm this but didn't find anything specific.

We have to manually verify each member before they can edit their profiles to keep away spambots. I just moved, and my computer isn't quite up and running yet, so I can't check in quite as often as usual, so apologies for the delay. I bumped you up to a regular member, so you can access your full profile now.

The Ergotron monster is growing.


Working on workflows instead of actually working on something.

So, this is the new site. What do you think?
