Re: [TMP] [TMP] Welcoming so many new members!

Thank you for the clarification. You have also stifled discussion on the game generally.

You are misinformed. We prohibit ALL new product announcements on
our forum. That's what our Hobby News section is for.

Bill,
When a forum like yours imposes selective censorship on new
rules articles, I will never support your forum and have
mostly stopped frequent what was a daily visit to it.
Dear
TMP Member "poiter50",
It's hard to find something good to say about a global
pandemic, but one of the side effects has been to bring a lot
of new people to The Miniatures Page. To our new members,
welcome! To our older members, meet and greet!
As you may know, the U.S.A. offered a program to assist
businesses during the pandemic. We chose not to participate.
Unlike some businesses, we did not see a major decline in
revenues. A few of our advertisers shut down their advertising
because they were forced to close down, but the vast majority
have continued to support us through this difficult time (and
in fact, have seen the value TMP provides in bringing all of
us gamers together). And, as I've mentioned, we've been
blessed with an increase in new members.
Speaking of staff, we've all had our challenges. I'm in New
York, where we've been very strictly quarantined - and
fortunately, due to TMP, I work at home. Our staff in the
Philippines have been grateful to have work when their country
is in lockdown, but have had the burden of supporting aged
parents who have reduced incomes under lockdown. So things
have been very stressful for Editor Gwen and Editor Dianna.
Let me close out this email by reminding you that TMP needs
your support to continue supporting the hobby. If you can
afford to upgrade to Sponsoring Membership, even if only for a
month or two, we would certainly appreciate it. You can
upgrade your membership here:
Best wishes and stay safe!
