The race is on.

Agreed

I just joined, not fair do giveaway now:(

What really, really worked well is the pdf and How-to thing that require forum registration. I plan on doing that again this weekend.

Giveaways are really problematic - most shipments go to the US, and shipping is only affordable when I use uninsured, non traceable transportation. It has now happened several times that packages are getting lost, or show up with many weeks of a delay. I end up sending things several times. This is getting an issue.

You got that right, ''How to'' videos hit the spot, that is how you got my interest to apply for a forum. Minor part was the fact that I discoveder your videos yesterday on Youtube and spent 2 workingdays watching them, and when I finally decided to build something, I found out that you need to Join Forum, which is peace of cake.
Anyway, thank you for your effort and interesting and amusing videos, I enjoy your humor.

Joerg, you don't need to compete with other forums, ignore them and what they do. You are original, funny, a little crazy, and make videos. Just be yourself and let the popularity grow by itself. As I know it will.

As far as the HOW-TOs and PDFs, I like that part best of all!
(I know you hate that part)

Remember, I will always make drawings for you!

Regards,
Brian

Looks like that reddit IAMA brought alot of people to the forum. I've seen a lot of Introductory post as of late.

Yes, we are now only 795 members behind. We shortened the distance in a single day by 128 members.

That's the biggest con in the 20th century right there! Drives me nuts. You pay for a service but then you have to pay to insure that they provide the service you payed for!
Isn't that kinda like extortion? Neighbourhood mafia "protection" payments are the same thing.

Difference now down to 600.

this forum is the best and soon it will be the biggest!

Difference now down to 492.

awesome

Good to know i am not the only one

I don't want to be negative, but .. what's the point? I don't understand why it's needed to compete with SSF. I understand that SSF is only about slingshots, but as probably a lot people see, TSF is more general - "rubber powered weapons".

Also what matters a lot is people activity. A lot of members doesn't mean a lot of good advices / new ideas / ...

You are right of course, but a race is always exciting - don't you think?

Given that, then it's ok of course.
I had in mind some weird thoughts about leaving you from SSF (nothing concrete, maybe just a feeling). This affected my post.

You can do both, just SSF doesn't have any of the launchers/slingbows that are here

I like both and I am also a SSF member, I have seen other members here that are members of SSF, nothing wrong, the SSF has many forums and is very strong in ss's related issues (building, shooting, tutorials ... etc) Jeorg forum here has a lot of other stuff such as sling-bows and crossbows and many inventions that aren't there. I prefer pure slingshots and shooting that's why I have more activity in the SSF, but I don't dismiss the value of this forum, very nice people here ...

joerg you should get someone to refurbish this forum now that we have so many members, i find it hard to upload images and that is whats holding me back from uploading images, along with a bigger recent activity list, those are just some suggestions, and also when i post something no-one ever takes any notice of it so i cant really get much attention or help from here

and also i cant change my profile pic
