mrs tac reminds me that I should not have used the word dwarf, but the acronym, PORG.
My deepest apologies to any of the brethren here who may have either been offended, or who may be PORGS, or both.

Statin’ the bleedin’ obvious…me thinks…and in bold, too
The bold is to indicate that some of the PORGs make up with girth what they lack on height. It all evens out along the way. 
6 pages…enough already…ENOUGH…
I didnt even realize that website was still in operation.

Oddly enough I was thinking the same thing myself…It seems the original subject ha got away from us!
So…to get back to GSC…
See another long term stalwart( large scsle (and even larger (7 and a quarter man) has left over the continual alterations ( four months or so) to the site that seems to ----up the site from time to time…

Friar Fred,
Inconsequential threads are powered by the Energizer Bunny, one could almost look at it as a tribute to battery power, eh !?!
Well after looking at the link for GSC, at least it is in english.

Well put Fred
I started this topic, not to have people that don’t want to join GSC display their dislike of the forum, but to ask if anyone wanted to join GSC.
I believe GSC has been bashed enough, on this thread, through this forum.
How many of us would take on the task of running one of these forums? I have no clue if there is a monetary reward for hosting one, and quite frankly, I really hadn’t given it a thought.
We all like to play, and the playing is free of charge.
I regret asking the original question!!
Lets keep this one rolling.
Not all was in vain Dan, you inspired me to make one last attempt to get my login fixed, and it is.

I’ve been running a very small specialty forum since 2003. It’s free, no ads etc. but it’s also hard to join i.e. if one would like to join one needs to provide valid reasons, along with a reference which other fora one is a member of…
Monetary reward? zilch! Whatever time and outlay required comes out of my pocket. OTOH since the forum is just about one or maybe two railways it covers the gamut of modeling scales which people use to replicate the prototype. 
I was thinking about HJs term PORG and it seems like it would be way to easy to just start saying “Porgy” for slang but I also realized that if I ever walked up to a little person and called them Porgy I’d get socked…right in the plums!

Vic,
That term is straight from the Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=porg
I’m not clever enough to dream up them there acronyms, but Google in combo with the Urban Dictionary is a great help.
SMFH … look that up in the urban dictionary. 
Greg
I was the one who first referred to the use of the acronym PORG for what are often called small people - it is a term used here in UK and the English-speaking parts of Europe in medical documentation and in the general media.
If it appears in the urban dictionary then it is not because I put it there.
Anyhow, back to the thread.
I wasn’t bashing GSC - I’m not in any position to do so, since I’m banned there, and have been for about four years - maybe more, I could care less.
I was just telling it like it was.
I’m done here.
