All the same, it seems right to make some remarks before we "close the book" on SM.<br /><br />SM was never meant to be the only Sybarite forum, we represented a certain point of view about collecting only. It is unfortunate that some of the other Syb boards that people had, like Slaves and FBR Group, died off. I hope that in time there will be a lot more Syb forums. There is at least one active Syb groups on Facebook, and a host of others on Flickr.<br /><br />But for what it's worth, we had a specialist collectors' forum, as there are indeed lots of people out there who cant understand why someone would pay over $800 for a beautiful doll and rip off her wig, whatever the brand.<br /><br />Superdoll does make a few dolls whose wigs were removable or who had no wig at all for the rest of you. The wigs on the rest of the dolls are glued on as tightly as possible with lots of glue because they are not meant to be removed.<br /><br />I did want to answer this comment too :<br />"What I will post is my belief that having one person in control of an entire board with an active, successful membership is a very bad idea." <br /><br />Most web sites have a single Admin. account which is usually held by the site's owner (the person who pays for it). The password for this account can be shared of course, as was the case for SM. So actually all of us held the plug, so to speak. <br /><br />This is true of Prego, Dolly Daily, Doll Observer (wholly owned by SImon Farnworth) and other sites. John's new site (John was one of our mods on SM, incidentally) has a single administrator and as of now no other moderators share the account. <br /><br />It is just how websites work.<br /><br />I'm really glad Sybomania is working out well. We now have an even stronger team: Dollster's new forum, me keeping up the FYI and Andrew and Karin organizing wonderful events in the US -- a separation of efforts that will utilize the talents of each of us in the best possible way. <br /><br /><br />Hope this helps,<br />LL<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-30010054318771798332015-03-19T17:17:53.739-04:002015-03-19T17:17:53.739-04:00I did, thanks!

I tried registering- but it resulted in an error- so maybe they are still working on it (probably)<br /><br />I am surprised that other site had such a restrictive rule- I am fairly new to the hobby, but it seems like the people who collect resin fashion dolls (and other fashion dolls) like swapping wigs/cloths/commissions/OOAK outfits quite a lot.

However I must say I am pleased with Sybomania so far :)Simonhttp://dollobservers.comnoreply@blogger.com
