Where has everyone went?

Hi, if anyone reads this let me know where I can go for Jumbo Machinder and robot related subjects. I am looking for an active group as it seems this has long died out. Thanks.

I too love the jumbo machinders. It does seem like there is no activity on this board anymore. I don’t currently own any jumbos but I am looking to get some in the near future and was hoping to find another buying option besides eBay.

FaceBook has taken over much of the Jumbo world.

Just to name a couple. I think many went to Facebook for easier posting of photos after photobucket quit their hot linking

Hey, sorry I've been away, like many of the regulars, as bourno stated, or just barely popping in to read comments and threads.

Most of the old gang is still alive and strong, just jibber jabbering in new places, like Facebook and Instagram, where pictures are easy from mobile devices.
Agreeing with bourno, above, the biggest slow down to discussion boards is not keeping pace with the easy photo share, as most of us participate straight from our phones and tablets nowadays, not sitting at a PC, where we used to upload from cameras SD cards, though that is still easy, not as quick as popping over a pic we took on a phone.

The FB groups as listed above are great, and some of us try to occaisionally update the R-J page, but ToyBoxDX, Jumbo groups, and other specific groups for Macross, TFs, Diaclone, Shogun Warriors, and Voltron have become the main hangouts for pics and discussion, and newcomers.
