Why I like this Board
Posted by msacco on Sunday, August 19, 2007 12:15 PM

NOtice there is not one complaining about York rules thread here. It's already popped up on the other board. Happens every time with the same players whining and whining about the rules they on't like.

    There's just more train talk here and it's a good thing.

Laz57 - You laid down some major coinage last Spring.  Watcha looking for this trip.  I'm actually not looking to buy a thing, just hanging out.  Oh, BTW, I'm thinking about bringing my own bunny ears...

LOOKING for my H(.)(.)TER GALs and some cool cars for the layout.  Always need those working gals on my corners.

I find it interesting that a some on this site like to take "digs" at those on the other site, not the other way around. "More train talk here"??? The other site has far more activity/postings in general...but yes, it does have it's "York debates" as well. Joe

I too enjoy this board.  It IS much more personable.  Personnally, I find I will always, consider the advice I receive from someone I have a history with more seriously, than what I receive from a stranger.  More of a basis to access the validity of that advice.  Secondly, the personableness, more like a group of people "talking" at a LHS, as opposed to reading "letters from the editor".  Give me CTT anytime.  

On the downside there is always those that just like to cause trouble, or are in need of "attention". I think your thread was fine!

This board has a great, friendly atmosphere to it. I think we take our trains and each other a lot less seriously that other forums do. The knowledge and technical advice here is second to none. This forum feels like a gathering of friends. OGR's and MTJ's forums have never seemed that way to me. Maybe because I'm a pot-stirring troll?

I agree with Jim, except that he's not quite a troll-stirring pot or something like that. There's lots of nice forums out there, but I enjoy the fellowship on this one.
