Hobby & Craft Forums

Some hobbies are crafts like making army figures and dungeon figures and then playing games with them.

Yes, but there are plenty of wargaming type forums also.

If you start getting too pedantic you will end up debating what is art and what is craft and then there really wil be problems

I don't really think that the hobby bit is read by most people as seperate from the craft bit. If it is where do you draw the line? I read it as referring to craft, Hobbyist and pros. Maybe I'm not normal (no maybe) but I don't see it as a problem.

Well said Pete and very true.

Yes well said Pete! its obvious the hobby bit means people like me who make crafts as a hobby as everyone is saying so. i don't think you should be telling them to change their forum Dee they don't wanting singing on here and nor do i coz i'm tone def lol.

Do you mean me? I didn't realise I had said people should change their forum, what I meant was wargamers etc will probably already visit a dedicated forum for wargaming or whatever, like hornby train enthusiasts will visit dedicated forums for that also. Obviously everyone is welcome to join and post here about whatever their hobby is, its just its not practical to cover every type of hobby or craft as the forum would be huge and take so long to load.
If it came to it we could consider the possibility of adding 'Other crafts' to give people the opportunity of sharing all of their hobbies and pastimes.

No no no not you sorry i was talking to Dee who asked the question in the beginning.

Oh right, I did see that you had written dee in the sentence, but I wasn't sure whether the singing bit was for Dee lol.

The forum name is a play on words, but its also an apt name for the forum as many people do crafts for business and many do it for a hobby, so its basically also covering both aspects.
If the need arises, as in many requesting we have an 'other hobbies' section, then as has been said, we can look at that when the need arises, but this early on when we don't have many members crafts to fill all forum types, the need isn't presently there.
