Did something happen to the fix up thread? Was my favorite part of this board.

It is so stupid because the so called "True Customizors" would piss and moan throwing a hissy fit for years when people would post fixups on the Custom boards. So we made Fixup threads on both the Mattel and Jakks boards to appease them...but for the last two years they have whining again because the custom board doesn't get the traffic anymore. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. The website as a whole isn't getting as much traffic, or atleast as much participation as before. When I lurked here around 2012'ish you had 10-15 new threads on the Mattel board everyday. Now it's like, 1. Maybe 2 on a good day. Atleast that is how it appears, I don't have the stats.

Yeah, this place is dead. Some boards that used to be busy go days without posts

I thought I was going crazy last night. I have to agree with everyone else, the lack of threads, protos, etc make the forums feel dead. Take the posing and pics section for example.

It's little stuff like this that makes me wanna fully get out of the game and start selling my collection. It's not as fun as it use to be. That thread didn't need to be moved

I guess the whiners bitched enough to have it moved.
RIP Fix up thread (2011-2017) RIP Customs Board (2001-2010)

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. It was an experiment on my behalf. I moved it in the hopes that it would draw in more users to the Customs board, and maybe in the process they might learn a thing or two from their fellow board members just by looking around. The Mattel board has been known to house threads which technically belong in other places (Suggestion Box, Figure Findings, Customs etc.), but it's simply more convenient for them to stay here. I didn't want it to come across like I was trying to dictate where things should go, but it seems like a contradiction to have rules in place and not honor them. If it's okay with JCF and the admins, I would like if the thread could stay open so that we could get everyone's thoughts on the matter.

It would have been nice to know thatit was getting moved. And that thread title needs to go. Was that "." done to spite someone? Not everyone was a dick about where that thread was. If these "true customizers " were so up in arms over the fact that their stuff wasn't getting looked at any number of times, they need to re-evaluate their priorities.
I just sorta feel like it was moved and renamed for the sake of being spiteful. I would love to be proven wrong though.

I like it gone from the main board. It seems like it belongs on the customs board
That's just my thoughts on the matter. But I don't really care

If you take a figure and fix it up you've changed it from its original state, you've customized it. It should be a thread or even better sub-forum under Customs. A sub-forum would allow individual attention on a figure rather than finding it in some 500+ deep thread. I feel that this is just a learning curve and people aren't stoked about it. I see a lot of people saying the Customs board is dead, and then something was moved there to be better organized and accurate and create new life but people don't seem to want that. Anything that is better organized and accurate I'm all for. Fix up and customize go hand in hand, the definition of customize means to alter. Customize - to build, fit, or alter according to individual specifications www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/customize

Just glad it's not gone forever. Will start checking into the customs board a bit more often now. I guess that was the goal, so...

Well... looks like at least one of the complainers of it's location in the Mattel board has showed himself.
This site isn't even that busy. I can't believe some people here take stuff that seriously. Instead of contributing to the topic on hand they have snide little comments about it belonging somewhere else.
Just be happy people actually still come to this site. How hard is that?

I liked it where it was here in this section. The custom section is dead, and I don't see how that's going to revive it. People are just going to post there rarely until the fix up thread is as dead as the rest of the board.

There are 100's of threads there, and there aren't a ton of responses to most of them. I don't see how moving the fix up thread is going to help that.

Go there and start a conversation. Suddenly... Board not dead! There are 100's of threads there, and there aren't a ton of responses to most of them. I don't see how moving the fix up thread is going to help that. It wont. There's a small handful that wanted it there but only 1-2 thew a stink over it, one of which rarely even posts here. I dont see the logic in moving a thread (which is on like version 3 btw) as an "experiment"...that's just not logical. A perfect example is the traffic. There's been more replies views of this thread (with the majority saying the move was dumb) then actually going to the customs board to look at the fixup thread. If that isnt the proof you need I dont know what is. Lets kill easily one of the top 5 created threads this board has seen to appease a couple people. smh It is so stupid because the so called "True Customizors" would piss and moan throwing a hissy fit for years when people would post fixups on the Custom boards. So we made Fixup threads on both the Mattel and Jakks boards to appease them...but for the last two years they have whining again because the custom board doesn't get the traffic anymore.

If it's okay with JCF and the admins, I would like if the thread could stay open so that we could get everyone's thoughts on the matter. Do it the Mattel board way, make a poll to show just how bad of a decision this was. Nothing personal against you of course...Just bad move.
