HOW OFTEN DO YOU VISIT THIS FORUM
Posted by lupo on Wednesday, December 24, 2003 6:20 AM
I wondered where are the 143000+ members, when I browse the forum there are about 5 members online and there are names I come across very often

This is the only forum I visit and I like it a lot.I wouldn't post for the sake of posting however,but if I happen to have a train related question,I'm pretty sure someone out there will kindly help me.I do reply regularly when I feel I can help if only a little and I also come back to see what my comments may have generated.I may be wrong sometimes and being corrected is part of the learning process.I do visit this forum almost every day and very often three or four times a day.

I visit this forum more than once a day. Usually 4 or more time. I like to read other members posts and see if I can help.

I can just to keep up with y'all. I LOVE YOU GUYS. What can I say, you
make me laugh, you make me mad, you make me wake up, etc.
I am so glad I can chat with others who understand what I am saying.
Thank You for all you do. HAPPY HOLIDAY.

I agree with Johnnydash9's remark about the sedative qualities of these fora (plural of forum ?).
[:)]
It's got even better since people (Lightbender etc.) started attaching photos -- I waited 3 minutes for the "trees" topic to open !!

Both this one and Garden Railways Magazine's forum at least once daily to keep abreast of the questions that are being posed, and learn about the problems that other people have with models that I might be considering. If I read too many negative comments, I scratch that item off of my list. This has definitely saved me some money over the past year.

I think that 99 posts in 3 weeks says it all. This is #99, next one is for star. I have subscriptions to 3 out of the 5 magazines here, and after over 30 years in this hobby, I think I've found a home.

At least once a day I'm here checking topics and responses. More often if the job is slow. [:p]
Why? I was a very regular reader of rec.models.railroad, but lately it's all politics, personal sniping and whining, and very little content. [8] This forum reminds me alot of how it used to be at rmr, we should be careful to keep it that way.
Trains, trains, and more trains, thats all we need![2c]

Did someone use the phrase "putting in my two cents", lupo ? -- I looked back but couldn't find it (on this topic).

I believe that Americans mean "making my contribution" when they say that -- but I (being British) am not certain of the derivation -- probably something to do with jukeboxes, coke machines or hotdogs !!

depends. some days i don't come on here at all now. i got a new PS2 game and i'm trying to complete at least one season before i go back to school. before though i was on here at least once in the morning, once during lunch then like 3-4 times at night. i visit a ton of other sites and forums so i don't have time to stay at one unless there is something i like to post about.

i'd say now though probably 4 times a day.

I visit as much as I can--which means I'm usually here on a daily basis. Some times I stay longer than others. Took a few days off for Christmas, lol. I guess I'm saying I'm addicted to the Forums. At least it's legal! There's always something new to learn. Many of the topics are a hoot, which ads to my enjoyment (like..."You might be a Model Railroader if....").

Someone (I think it was LUPO) was asking about 'two cents'. It's just another way of saying "...and that's MY OPINION!" (my 'two cents' worth of advice).

More then once a week but not always every day. I am now starting to check this forum more often. I find most of it very interesting.
