because i can be! i mostly add to both sites at the same time if i can. if people object i will of course step down. i am hoping to use trampt more in the long run for conversations (how show me ure vinyl was supposed to work) im well aware of symbiosis ;)
@sillyK - I added this toy to Trampt, someone asked where I got the image & I said I pinched it from here (mentioned im a bad man - in jest) Keegan also in jest noted that there is a crossover in entries. All was lighthearted, we are all aware of symbiosis. I am a Mod / admin on both sites, primarily because I am active on both sites, no conspiricy! I assume jan is being light hearted too, this is a small community :)
seriosly Jan? ok fine, i guess goodbye roto, pity, its nice here, usually none of this kind of grief. I do not have to defend myself, kinda makes me sad that you can find the time to research my online habbits, personally i dont care what you do on other sites. Conversation over. Thanks to Roto for a real fun time, loads of lovely people and a lot of chuckles. keep it happy everyone :)
anyone who is a member here can contact Sergey & offer to help out, there is not a set number of 'Mod' spots, to the best of my knowledge. U can add to the library without being a 'Mod' the mod role is helping to remove duplicates & update incorrect fields. my mod role on the other site is with connection to my willingness to help with the upcoming forum features. My 'Rep' number there makes no difference to me, most of it was gained before this was even a visible feature & most of the items I have added there are art prints / OG art. I did note you added the blox here, in fairness I am not 'obliged' to do anything, this is a hobby. (as a side FYI, my understanding is the rep thing would go towards future comps there, which I have already opted out of so making it of zero importance) We're all good Jan, no worries
oh, now i slowly get it. i am not a member on this webpage called trampt, never even heard of it. thank you for explaining a bit, Mister Q. and Toy. butttttttt.... if i can be honest, i really don't like the tone of this conversation/discussion among you guys :( though, i am glad to read further in, that you got over yourselves.
@ TOY: i love you, man! you know that. and now sit down on your couch and smoke a reefer ^_^
@ Mister Q.: don't even think about leaving roto! THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! + where is the snapshot of your new addition?
@ Dan: ditto! i come to roto as well to relax and smile and cream my pants over all those pretty toys!
NOW LETS ALL DO A GROUP HUG (with reach around if needed)
@ shank: not sure, the guy just dropped of completely, tried conacting him a few times but never got any response. sad, met a lot of nice folks there during the short time it was operational.
Personally I feel the images on Trampt & Rotocasted aren't 'owned' by either. Generally they're from manufacturers or artists with some exceptions here & there and we leave room for people to get credit for the photos they take. I've definitely grabbed images from here, and I know images I've personally dropped the backgrounds out of have ended up here as well. I think this cross-over not only helps the community, but also the artists who get new fans by collectors stumbling upon their work on our sites.
Honestly I didn't even know MisterQuiche was a mod here, and I personally don't care if he does both. There are no big trade secrets being exposed here ... this isn't life and death, it's collecting toys and it should be fun. :)
Hi guys. I haven't been around much lately, but it's more due to lack of money than to lack of love. I've personally interacted with Sergey, Keegan and Quiche, and they are all great people.
I guess if I could turn back the clock, I would have wished that instead of Keegan putting all his energy into establishing a 2nd similar network to Rotocasted, that the two teams (Trampt & Rotocasted) could have worked together on one killer database (Roto-trampt?). I'm not sure if that was ever something considered.
Funny enough, a couple years ago, *I* met with a programmer about starting a network like this. (It's a true story, and we were going to focus on trading dupes.) But as soon as I did my research, I found that Sergey already had a significant headstart with Rotocasted. Splintering the community seemed unnecessary, and there's that saying: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Well, I had no interest in (or money to put into) "beating" Rotocasted, so I offered to help Sergey instead.
Sergey has since become a great friend and guest at my house in California a couple times. In 2012, I may get to visit Moscow for the first time too. I'm not sure my rambling has a specific point. Just that in my experience, I have found the biggest gains from collaboration vs. competition.
