    Default Getting back into hobby

    After a long few years of moving around, getting married, and now finally owning a home I'm ready to get back into this great hobby. Saw a few things that changed, what did I miss? I'm into wilds and saw that apparently no sponsor here currently imports wilds anymore with the exception of john who seems to be a hard man to get in touch with.

    Yes we do Rugal .
    But we , the forum members , tend to keep our main focus on the forum as a tool of sharing knowledge instead of transferring it on a FB .
    At least that's what I would like to do

    I tend to stay away from Facebook other than to follow suppliers and what not. Not a huge fan of Facebook groups. It's a shame because this place used to be busy and people were always sharing. Not so much now
