  • AC Focus Group

    We're developing a Focus Group from our userbase to help guide the direction of the AC. The idea is to make the site better and sometimes its good to get differing opinions before launching changes. We don't want this to be all vendors and/or all moderators... we want rank & file users involved too.

    If you've got a solid history around here as a contributer and think you'd like to participate, please PM me with your "qualifications". I'd like the group to be representative of the hobby as a whole... so we'll probably select few west coasters, some civilians, a good balance of US/CS etc.

    I'd like to get 10-15 more people on the list. If I get 30 applicants, dont take it personally if I don't accept everybody.

          Re: AC Focus Group

          We've added Dan Wambaugh and Terry Sorchy to the list. Others have sent in their applications as well, but we think that list is pretty representative of the overall hobby/website now.

          Too many folks and its no longer a focus group, just another forum.

          If you feel some section of the hobby is completely underrepresented, make your case to me in a PM.

            This is really just a bump, as lately a number of folks seem to think this is some kind of secret squirrel stuff. It isn't.

              It isn't? Dang it. I was working on the early war impression.

                Poor Elizabeth Stewart Clark looks to be very much outnumbered by the gentlemen of the group.

                    Garrison, that image may be of the Type II Morocco Mole, which is easily confused with the Secret Squirrel. Let's look it up in Lord's Encylopedia of Cartoons. Nice fez!

                      I believe he may be an early war Zouave, possibly from New York.

                        Yes. He was in Company B of the Hanna Barbarians. :D

                            Are you sure you want Terry Sorchy in with you guys? He can be surly at times. He stays in first person a lot too.
