Gardenwargaming/Laughing Giraffe

[JLMatterer]

Does anyone have advice or comments on these 2 boards, listed on the PCC website? When I try to register with Gardenwargaming, I'm sent to Playmofriends; Laughing Giraffe says my Yahoo email address is not accepted. Just curious - any reason for this? Any similar experiences? Are these boards worth registering with? My Playmobil life is quite happy on Playmofriends, but I do like exploring other boards, such as Tricornejock & Klickywelt.

TX,
Jim

Laughing Giraffe is essentially dead at this point. I don't know what the status is at GW.

Jim,
When you joined Playmofriends you had an opportunity to also be registered as a member of Garden Wagaming at no additional charge.
However, it's not too late. All you need to do is send Sylvia a PM (private message) here at Playmofriends and ask her to please also register you as a member of Garden Wargaming.
Looking forward to seeing you over there,
Richard

Hi Jim,

I've made an account for you at GWPC and you should receive the login details in your yahoo inbox shortly.

I'll PM them to you also just to be on the safe side.

Laughfing giraffe was a site created during a forum split. Some members went there and some came here. From time to time forums get a shakedown and members scatter. Playmobored was the last big event as Panos, the sites owner started cutting off people's heads during a heated issue. Panos and tinker bell , his girl, disappeared with their huge collection. LG has been slow for years and now the pcc is doing it in.

Garden war gaming is a fan site dedicated to war, a topic not allowed here. Many members from there are also members here. It's an outlet to serious war enthusiasts in playmo form. Some great customs for sure.

Klicky welt is a German version of playmofriends with heated debates and lots of rule breaking, as seen with the "confidential" clause. There are loads of serious collectors with amazing customs.

There used to be the kingdoms map and all that here too, the forums are still there but I dont think its still used much. Quite a shame really.

Times change. Just when I get comfortable the rug get pulled out.

FB, twitter, pcc, forums, personal web sites......all competing for a small group of nuts.

In my opinion all the choices just diluted the collectors.

Ras, are members like playmoboard's EsDoc in KW now? I still don't back up my threads....(I used to have long discussion and "how to" military threads in PB...all lost, so it took the wind out of me)

there are a few members in here who frequent kw. I gave up over there, got burned in a few transactions.  I could ask around.

I tried a few times to track panos from PB down. I wanted to acquire the archive files from PB. The domain name expired a year or so ago. He was living in San Fransico, less than an hour away, so I figured it would be easy enough. I guess he really did not want anybody contacting him after the event.

I really wanted all the history from PB, so much great material was there.

The sad part is: people post the same pictures/ stories in many forums. Gardenwargaming is NOT a forum for people who like wars. It's just another of many (but an earlier) forum.

Almost everything you find on GWG you find everywhwere else. Ras is right. We collectors get diluted.

Time to have one major forum where everyone can post in his/her natural language (and Google translator translate for you) but all ideas get collected centrally. Can't be too difficult.

I am sooooooo bored of reading and seeing the same stuff/pictures in different languages...
