Actually, it may feel like that for the programmers doing the conversion. It seems like they have a good group doing this BUT these BBS conversions are rarely simple.

As in any project, there will always be problems with people getting use to new formats and procedures. Also, there will be that stray "1" where a "0" should be. Patience is always a virtue.

Good to see you Gordon! I hope your right and really when you look at it it will probably be "Business as usual".

I've recently joined two other rail Forums. Each one is unique and caters to a different part of the MR spectrum.

Variety is good

THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!! O.K panic stricken predictions are over, somehow I think we'll all survive,adapt and carry on with the hobby and forum after the dust settles from this latest "crisis". If I loose my stars (I've already lost my mind years ago) I'll live I'm a motormouth and will probably rebuild on whatever kind of rating system there is.

There's a homeopathic remedy that I carry in my practice. I'll pretty much be immune. I'll probably be in exploration mode.

I've already checked all the hatch covers, strung additional safety lines, checked to make sure the boxcars on the train deck are properly secured and put the extra bilge pumps on the flicker. As long as we can keep the bow to the wind, I'm not too concerned about the stern door. We should be able to dock safely at Milwaukee on Monday.

In the meantime, have a nice (not Lake Michigan-stormy) weekend.

Chuck.

This is being posted for all the whiners out there. Be certain to stock up on cheese this week end. The new forum is coming next week.

And no matter how great the new format is, the whining will begin!

Form a support group NOW and have plenty of cheese on hand!
