New Endor group - Files available!

For those who have had issues getting into the Endor Bunker Yahoo! Group, or simply don't feel like creating a Yahoo! account, I have created a new group on Facebook just for you (and me)!

Endor Commando Costume Armory
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1567290883392672/

All the Endor Bunker files are available, as well as several other 3d printing files, patterns, reference photos, and showcase albums. Feel free to request to join! Very Happy

Why to make a new closed group on another platform ?
Why not to make those files available here on the RL forum instead ? :s

Case-in-point: it took me a week to respond to you...

Forums are good for things sticking around, but to get immediate assistance with a project you're currently working on, forms just don't cut it anymore to be honest. The only reason it's a closed group is since Facebook is so open to everyone, not just anyone who doesn't know the first thing about Star Wars can get in. Razz

Forums are still good for that, just the people not willing to use them, that's different. Rolling Eyes

At least an updated forum Very Happy

But like the Yahoo group, not everyone is willing to join FB or any social media Wink

I still hold that a Facebook group is going to be much faster and much more consolidate that any forum could hope to be. I understand those unwilling to join social media platforms, but the number who are not on Facebook these days far underweighs the number who are. The group already has 30 members and it's been active for a week and a half.

Either way, the group is there Smile

if you need files there is no restriction to join the group and get them.

Forum are more structured for threaded conversations, Facebook, etc are more about immediacy for a narrower set of discussions.

For static reference material like this, no reason it couldn't be stickied in a thread at the top of the group, right next to the costume standard link. It needn't rely on spreading stuff across platforms and yes, some people do not want to use those services.

In this case, the horse has left the building. With the proposed shake-up of costume standards, it's ideal to have any reference and supporting materials available in the same place, as long as their owner don't mind their material used in this way.

Sorry, but which 'shake up' are you referring to?
