The owner decided to shut down playmoportal on 30.06.2007
aparently this is an aftherglow from the big row they had end 2006
I hope someone will try to take over
To all german readers , wish you the best and hope there comes a solution

Very sad to hear that the situation has worsened to this degree. :(
I echo your thoughts, Michael.

That's a bit of a blow for the Playmobil online community, theres been a lot of good links to that site on here about whats new and photos of Playmo get togethers.
I would imagine most of the German speaking members will soon find another place of their own though.
-
starting from today, a movement of almost the complete german (and allied ;) ) portal-community started to
www.klickywelt.de
so there will be no significant loss in future information, maybe even again a slightly increase back to normal. :yup:
best,

do people in playmo-portal know this?
i can't understand a word of german but i could see that there are a lot of entries dating from tomorrow.
i went there to check the pictures on the new u.s. and nordsee pirate sets and everything seemed o.k..
i hope they can solve their problems.
if they can't, i hope they all decide to come this way (or at least the polite ones).
:love:

yeah, in fact they do know...
C&C, the original founders of playmo-portal decided to shut down their board with the end of this month. everything will be kept readable for the first, but it will not be possible to post anything knew.
They officially announced bennain as founder for playmo-portals new follow-up, but they decided to make a clear cut and to start with a new name as well.
I bet the nice ones will be there... I heard rumors that even more nice ones will be joining up again... ;)
so, all in all it was a good developement as the german community might be reunited under this new roof. ;)
best,
socrates
P.S.: @cachalote don't worry, there are many german speaking collectors who did not understand what exactly was going on during the last weeks as well. ;)

it would be so nice if a lot of playmo-portal members could join us.
:wow:
they seem to get all the news first and they seem to posess a ring of spies inside geobra.

maybe the founders of this forum could produce some sort of a formal invitation that could be delivered through some of our members that are also members of play-clicks.
:love:
i bet they would be most welcome.

Hi cachalote...
Well, I think here language really is a barrier...
I spoke to several german members who ARE really interested in the international community but they definitely will always have a german board as their primary communication platform. I vistited the playmo-fairy in barcelona and I really like the spanish collectors that regulary join the german events, but still I am a registered but not an active member in the spanish boards as I really have to fight my way though the comments and stories...
So, as there are several members here are bridging between klickywelt and pfriends, not a single news will get lost anyway... 8-)
best

well socrates, language can really be a barrier - take the babel tower as an example.
i was kind of wishing that all the german friends could also speak english, since german is quite impossible for me to understand.
maybe we could all learn esperanto... :)

"Piraten" is the only word you need for understanding German in your case, cachalote. ;D

Hello,
read and write isn't the most difficult in any languages, and write without grammatic mistakes isn't the most important here (Sorry for the languages teatchers...). If you are motivate and give you enought time, you will sure arrive to the best results. Language is only a same rule for millions people live "together", and if millions people can do it, you will be abble to do it too.
But, and this is right in any languages, on all forums, if a lot of people or some of this only, want be the most important or the chief and admin himself... do so as he is the only right... Like in the factory, the most difficult isn't a activity but sure to manage the qualitys and caracter of everypeople. A lot of people have difficulties to manage herself... I speak 2 ou 3 languages and see that everywhere the problems are coming from the mentality of humans, under more or less the same shape, too if they take a lot of forms. I make errors myself and like a lot of people, I'm not the best too, but I try to give a positiv reaction and learn about this to find a interresting way after. I never will have a statue anywhere, I'm a commun human like milliarden people, my two feet are well on the ground, even if my head is sometimes in the clouds. Write and speak is good, reflect and think is better.
Find informations by Internet isn't so complicate today, but find this on the nice place is not the most easier. If people would take a part and only a part, we will have a chance to change a little the ambiance of forums. If they try to give more (Informations....) as take a part (To be important....), I'm sure that we can all have access to the best results.

More seriously, you can manage quite well with a web translator such as www.freetranslation.com or babelfish. I mainly concentrate on the customs and comment with simple words and phrases which translate easily or use the emoticons (there are lots of these on some of the foreign (to me) language sites). Again, when I post I post in simple English phrases with a web translation, using just the pictures with minimum words where possible. On a couple of the German sites, I am working with a German fireifghter (and I must admit in recent weeks because of other demands of schools this has been neglected) on an English/German fire brigade dictionary using Playmobil, so I label my pics and details in English, he then labels them in German and then I post them.
But my advice is give it a try. Find a board, register and introduce yourself and then just search on "piraten" or "figuren" or "uniforme". You'll quickly get the feel of it and find other words you recognise or learn.

:)you are quite right tricornejock - most of the problems are not in the tongue but in the brain.
:)you are also right playmofire - with the translation engines i can get into german.
besides "piraten", i usually look for "pirat" and "piratenschiff".
"soldaten" and "matrosen" will do too, to look for the english, french and now also the spanish navy guys.
it is easy to do this on ebay.de.
maybe i will try it in the klickywelt forum too.
