As much as I would like to, I just can't find the time to undertake this project and want to see if anyone will enlist to help.
THE BACKGROUND:
This forum is a veritable cornucopia of superb information. In particular, there are superb build threads on many different submarines, product usage threads, technique threads and many others. Unfortunately, finding them is virtually impossible unless you have weeks to kill and a PHD in computer programming (that might be an exaggeration, but you catch my drift).
THE MISSION:
In an effort to help everyone here and all newcomers as well, I want to enlist the services of a Bounty Hunter. This individual will scour the untamed wilderness of the forums and hunt down the elusive golden threads, collect the links, pen a quick description, and post up the link in a single, central thread.
This doesn't necessarily have to be an ongoing task. If we can get caught up with content, I can take on flagging new threads and posting up the links myself. I just don't have the time to scour a decade's worth of content to get things started.
THE REWARD:
This will take time. People working for free sometimes also relegate the task to the back-burner or can do a half-assed job. This is a paid bounty, with reward upon delivery. My offer: a brand new German Type 209 model kit in 1/32 scale, complete with photoetch, brass prop, and periscope set. Here is the link if you need to wrap your brain around the awesomeness. Kit not your style? I'll do store credit equivalent or $300 cash.
I'm not necessarily taking the first bounty hunter to sign up. The successful candidate needs to know how to navigate and search the forums. Hell, I may even give you a thread to find and see if you can locate it (and how long it takes).
Interested? Chime in below. Let me know what you think you'll be able to allocate in terms of time and energy, and let's see what we can make happen.
I think this will be a massive help to everyone here, and to the hobby as a whole. I'm hoping someone can help me out!
