>>11287607The 4H threads used to be pretty popular when the Raven kickstarter happened. They used to have more posters than Revoltech and Modular Robots on a regular basis. So 100+ - 80 posters on the regular, and this is despite the fact that 4H used to do fewer releases. Like, 1 year+ between releases, yet we had weekly/bi-weekly thread that was constantly getting a new thread when the old thread started auto-saging
Anyway, 4H has some quality control problems (paint, plastics, etc) and super shitty customer support. So these threads constantly had people complaining that CS hasn't responded to them about whatever problem they had. Like, months between replies, if they got any response at all, and shit took up to a year to resolve issues.
It obviously pissed off a lot of people, so a lot of the old fans stopped coming to the threads/stopped buying shit, and the threads started declining. You'd think that's natural, for interest to wane over time, but 4H was increasing the amount of shit they would release and even created other lines.
Fortunately, more types of products interested new people and these newfags filled in the place of oldfags having enough of 4H, but not enough to grow the 4H fandom and there was still a slow decline in fans. These threads slowly lost posters over the years and other websites started losing interest in their shit.
By 2020, 4H threads were ghost towns, peaking at around 60 posters and only getting bumped by fanatics ... if they remembered to bump the shit. So sometimes there weren't even any 4H threads for a months/weeks at a time. No oldfags remained, aside from myself, since no one posts anything before the Raven KS and maybe a single person who even owns something from the Raven KS.
When 4H's massive QC/CS disaster from last year happened, that was the busiest these threads had been for a long time and after massive amounts of damage control for a month afterward these threads died, hence being merged with fantasy figures
