This stupid banner is annoying as crap. I'm signed in, and when I click it to make it go away, it comes back again on another page.

There has been enough griping about this: MAKE IT GO AWAY!

OK, Grumpy, this is the last straw.   We are now going to start reducing your post count.   Super Angry

It hasn't been locked since it was started on April 14.

What's the point in locking it now?

So I have a question - since this isn't the first time we have gone on extensively about these irritations, why doesn't MR do something about it?  Oh wait, I forgot.....profit.

Now why do I think this thread is about to be locked?

My third favorite thing are the occasional DVDs that show up in my mail box unsolicited with the comment that, legally, they are a gift, followed by the barrage of letters asking me to either pay for the DVD or return it.   Dead

And don't forget about the commemorative train coin which accompanies the offer.  Gift

The two things that I enjoy most about the forum are the banners at the bottom of the page that get in my way and the diminshing post count.  My third favorite thing are the occasional DVDs that show up in my mail box unsolicited with the comment that, legally, they are a gift, followed by the barrage of letters asking me to either pay for the DVD or return it.   Dead

Ain't that the truth Frank. If you removed all the threads with topics that had been discussed previously, there would be a threadless forum. We'd all have to go work on our layouts.Indifferent
Personally I could care less if a thread of mine strays from the original topic. Like Sheldon says "it's called conversation". I've always had my maydays and pleas for help responded to post haste and enjoyed the jocularity that often accompanied the responses.
If I didn't want interaction (conversation) with others, there is not much you can't find out by just using Google.Beer

You have a point. Sad thing is, I can think about a ton real signs but I am afraid I would get me  tossed out of the forum.  But since I can't leave well enough alone, how about Fancy Gap, Va., or a well know center of Amish activity in Pennsylvania.....

It's always interesting to me how a post can generate such a variety of topics.  This post started in April and was a rant about the green banner - which is VERY aggravating - but MR doesn't want to listen to its readers.  Then I read one about Video Plus not working which is another recurring theme, a a few about post counters and now we have the Bat Cave sign.  Maybe that's one of the best part about the forums.

Thinking about the Bat Cave sign, maybe we should start one about interesting/unusual signs that we have seen and if they can be used on our railroads but it's probably been done.  The downside is that to read it we would have to get rid of the green bar which is VERY aggravating - or did I already say that???????

I am about an hour SE of Vancouver.

Batman, from that map, all I can tell is that you live north of the border, east of Nanaimo, west of Castlegar, and south of Quesnel. Laugh

It's that way on purpose Mon Ami!  I use to have a map showing much better detail of where the Batcave was located and found the bar fridge in the train room was always "sans beer". Smile, Wink & Grin

It really helps to know where each of us is from.

I agree Michael. I like to know where on the planet people are from. I have added a map to my signature. I am about an hour SE of Vancouver. Though like Winnie the Pooh I am originally from Winnipeg. Dad got smart and moved us to the West Coast when I was two.
