The Atlas forum is perhaps the busiest and has proven to be the most interesting "evolving" forum. Certain nights or days are dedicated to topics, such as Sunday Nite Foto Fun, midweek model critiquing, prototypical day, etc. Also every once in a while a bit of history is made, each time unique. For example, one time the Model Power President came onto the N scale forum and made an a.. of himself. Some one had critiqued negatively the MP Pacific N scale engine, and he tried to roast in public the person doing the critique. Believe it or not, even CN got involved as the go between with the modeller who did the critique and the president. What was interesting is that the attempts by the MP president on the forum to discredit the modeller blew up in his face with many on the forum reacting to the negativity the President was displaying. The outcome: well CN worked a deal where the Pres of MP would send the modeller the second version the MP Pacific engine for review (the first one did have problems). The modeller reviewed it in the N forum. The reason for the interesting evolution at Atlas is that it is one of the longest standing forums for RR modeller's. It has evolved from a very crappy forum that crashed a lot, was incredibly slow to load, to what it is today. I joined it in the early days and have been a member their in all their various formats, for around the past five years. Trainboard.com is perhaps one of the most international forums, given its size and number of active participants.
