But apparently GW or certain US producers it¡¯s ok.

Ah well. I only go there (without signing in) to laugh and point, and marvel at the (lack of) intellect and derangement of certain TMP worthies.
I quit membership about 2 or three years ago, after a particularly virulent bout of MAGAitis broke out there, and? anyone who tried to inject fasts into the debate was immediately ¡®dawghoused¡¯.

Bill is doing a service though, quarantining a whole bunch of stale male and pale from interacting with normal human beings. Like their very own
lockdown, so reality can¡¯t affect them.

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

Best wishes and stay safe!
