Awrighty folks,

I'll be honest, lost my buzz for militaria for a while after dealing with some ham-shankers. Also a bit down that hardly anyone wants to use the web forum anymore. I much prefer the web forum, but FB groups are SOOOO easy and convenient on a mobile phone.

WAF is still falling over every now and again, yet still people pay their subscriptions. The owner of WAF is not interested in fixing it or investing any of the money he makes in fixing it, whereas I try my best to keep this forum up to date, latest edition of the software, the best web hosting money can buy and the best features anywhere, like secure image hosting on Amazon S3 servers etc. etc.

The MCN is free, although I do ask for donations, we are currently at 88% of our target. I pay this out of my own pocket folks, and it's not cheap.

https://www.militariacollectors.network/donations/donate-to-the-mcn/

I wonder why I bother? Well I do it because I've done it for over 20 years, the MCN is my baby and I'm proud of the friends I've made on it, as well as the knowledge I've gained on it. It deserves to live on, so it will. Even if donations fall to zero, I'll make sure it stays...

What can you do? Well, you can take part, contribute, tell your friends, upload great pics and great posts...

Onwards and upwards folks. ;)

Every one and Lenny I once rang a club back in the 90s I published a newsletter produced enamel membership badges etc etc out of 700 members there were about 12 who really helped me do the admin etc and contributed with ari lues and other help...I know only to well the time and hours I spent after a days work ..this was my family and private time..but i wanted to do this..No! not for me but to help other and in particular new people to our hobby. To help them learn from our (THE MORE ADVANCED COLLECTOR)mistakes and lack of knowledge.And to guide them  through showing off our latest purchase for our collections...It also offered other to see items that they were unlikely to see often and rarely ..not only because it was a rare item but to lots of people with young families ir different jobs could not afford such things...But they still loved to hear the stories and touch or see these beauties.....so yes,... I had scary moments ....why am I doing this no body gives a s...t if it folds tomorrow..  Well Lenny they and I know from personal experience. I have that tea shirt.....People do care... people need and love this the forum ...to pass on knowledge that we all need ..Even if we think we know it all...Because believe me none of us are they good..Yes we think we are  but uh uh. ..So Lenny your a normal guy ..you feeling normal feelings of banging your head against a brick wall...But 1500 members is a figure to proud of...So carry on and we will be here for you......
