......well, as you guys remember there was a big exodus and polarization into the two newly stablished forums the 400SH and buzz. Not only that, many people just left the community completely.
Yes the witt and traffic went down and the newbies were roaming the house. Nothing wrong with that. Then from the other forums people started to mouthwash DAC. It was hypocritical from many to criticize how wild the place got to be. We made the place to be like that and in many occasions it was darn funny. In other times it was like those high school dramas.
DAC still here and we get to see some familiar names again. In many ways Buzz and 400SH are feeders and stopovers for DAC. For many people in the community & regular posters from the other forums, doing a stopover at DAC is a must. Often a good topic is posted here first. I remember Jet-X doing some official announcements here in the past.
I give lots of credit to those staying back despise of some main names/characters being gone.
About the Custom made Lords.
Vikings is doing model fotography. He posted some of his work on the off topic forum.
HannibalHays was gone after he was just starting to experiment with gold plated models. He was unable to fullfil some orders and he was rapidly tagged as a crook. I saw him DAC logged about three years ago and I sent him a PM. He didn't reply and I haven't see him here again. See this link.

We lost two great guys in the art of custom models.
Best Regards!!!
