Age 42. Origami is just a phase in my life - which has lasted since age 12. I'm sure I'll grow out of it.....once I'm dead and buried. Gotta thank my parents for this hobby. It was a choice between fishing and origami. I detest intentionally killing or harming things, so origami it was. It all started with Robert Harbin's Origami 1, which I still have to this day. It's taken me 30 years to get creative and fiddle/doodle up some of my own designs, which I'm now transferring to my own ori-website.
I'm a lone folder slinking off to my Ori HQ (ie my Study Room) dreamily dreaming of an Ori-mate that I could physically talk to. Preferably female with luscious slender....fingers to help me fold those darned awkward folds that beat the hell out of me everytime. Anybody in Cardiff, UK wanna make my day and my wife's - it's not easy for her being an Ori-widow.
But seriously. I'm looking forward to contributing to the Ori-world out there.

No website at the moment - it's still under constructiion! Ho hum. Prolly take a good few weeks/months before it's ready for human consumption. Hope you can wait that long.
I shall prolly ask for advice/suggestions on how others have promoted their ori-website some time in the future though.

Although your comments weren't directed at me, I have not had any real meaningful physical conversation with any other ori folder for 30 odd years. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a real time chat with a fellow folder. For me it would add just an extra dimension to a conversation. Having said that though I'm not sure what I would say, nor as to how much of an 'anorak' I would want to appear to be. I sometimes wonder how much mileage you could get out of a paper bird! Obviously alot, otherwise ori-clubs and conventions wouldn't take place.
However in times of need, it sure would be nice to have a physical ori-mate to hopefully help me out with some of those darned fiddly folds out there.
Anyway, in the meantime I'll stick to forums. Makes a change from talking to my wife about it.

I'm not sure what the best method is for marketing a website, this Forum is listed under Google (on page 18 under the search term 'Origami') which I think is the reason why people have such a hard time finding this forum.No website at the moment - it's still under constructiion! Ho hum. Prolly take a good few weeks/months before it's ready for human consumption. Hope you can wait that long.

I've managed to get myself listed on the Open Directory Project on the Wikipedia Origami page and on some personal webpages.
Having the Origami Model Database list the Forum's recent posts has had a huge impact on my site traffic and this is what I believe is driving in more members.

Pyros, don't worry about the whole High School thing. We're all gawky and awkward, and think we know everything. You'll make it through in one piece (more or less), and grow from the experience.
As for teaching youself origami, every single fold can be equated to folding the paper in half. Once you can do that evenly, the rest is just applying tha fold to the rest of the paper. I'm sure that the other users of this forum will be more than happy to recommend material for you!
