Since they are more prototype oriented than model oriented, I figured this question would fit best here - but anyway their forums have been down at least since the weekend - the "SQL Error" page seems to indicate a database issue, but you never know.Their front page is still up, but hasn't really been updated since mid-2013, so that's no help.Thanks
Just a guess -
The host of their site made software changes and they haven't updated their forum software to match the host changes.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I used to participate quite heavily at railroad.net, but found the folks here to be much pleasanter, and extremely attractive too. I probably posted there once in the last year, as usual making shameless plugs for people to come out on my sailboat and enjoy the riverview of NJT's Riverline, Delair Bridge, PATCO Ben Franklin Bridge, freight switching at the Gloucester NJ waterfront, and Northeast Corridor at Claymont.
Is this rr.net problem perhaps an attempt to keep me from being able to solicit sailboat crew now that it's getting close to the time I'll launch my boat for the upcoming season?
By the way, I'm planning for the first time to cruise to Cape May, which means if I do it alone I'll subject you to my now well known shaky cam videos. And you though Cajon Summit's video links were a problem.

Free yacht rides, 27' sailboat, zip code 19114 Delaware River, get great Delair bridge photos from the river. Send me a private message
Obviously down for maintenance.
I participate in the Pan Am Railway forum, especially as Amtrak is now running again through Northampton, Ma with a loading platform next to the former Union Station.
I ride a rail trail right next to the mainline.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Gardendance, I rather hope that the Railroad.net crash is not a gigantic interconnected conspiracy to deny people boat rides on your yacht...
I think there's a conspiracy to replace our Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil with tinfoil, thus denying us the CIA survelience beam avoidance benefit we get from flexible strength due to oven tempering.
oops, I meant "theyres".
Yeah, but the NSA is still tracking your cell phone, and that "chip" they inserted
last time....

Yeah, my life was in a turmoil for at least sixty seconds because they never told anyone about going down.
But then, it could have been out of their control.
Has railroad.net ever gone a full fortnight without being down? I post there sometimes (rarely anymore) under a different username than here. That site is like a trip back to 2002 or something. Kind of charming in some ways.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
If you want something really Dilbertly anachronistic, my condo management makes us phone their answering service, who then email the office, but they refuse to give us the email address.
And while composing this I got 2 phone messages asking me to phone businesses to whom I had sent emails. I replied with emails asking them what they need me to tell them that I didn't already put in the emails.
The world is back to normal. The site is back.

They must have got new a new batch of hamsters to power the servers. Perhaps they even upgraded to guinea pigs.
Railroad net is full of mean people who are uber railnuts
