OGR Forum Refugee Roll Call

[Anonymous]

I am on the fence and have not decided whether I am a refugee just yet. [:-^]

But while I am here..[#welcome]

Kooljock - I gotta agree. When standards surfaced as a stand alone forum, something changed, either with me to the forum. [sigh]

But I have learned quite a lot there and I can't forget that either.[swg]

Hello everyone.. i made the switch

[bluelinec4]

I had paid my 18.00 and came here to try it out just in case the new look doesn't pan out. I am going back to the OGR forum. People there are much friendlier. It seems that some on this forum feel like you have to ask their permission before you can post. I have seen many " Since you guys came here I see...." comments. Read the K-Line yuch post to see what I mean. So if OGR decides to charge 50.00 I will stay there. See you CTT. I wish I can say its been a pleasure

I respect those former OGR members who feel that they are doing "the right thing" by leaving. I'm not going to leave OGR yet. I'm going to pay to play, at least for the first year. If it does a nosedive into the pond, I'll bail out. Otherwise, I'll be there AND here, hopefully contributing usefully to BOTH forums. Besides, this way I get to read more information!

Im here because of the fees and some of the bashing a few gave us for not wanting to pay. Even though I could afford the fee it was where I felt the forum was going come the 31st. Time will tell but Im covering my bases anyway. Hope this forum will be as good as the other one. BTW I'm Hobo on the other one.[:)]

You can pay the fee at York...I'll make up my mind then.....I think I like this one better. But we'll see.

KoolJock, if you leave the forum I'm driving up to that radio station of yours and kick your butt. Just joking. I don't see much of you guys leaving yet. Still seeing 90+ every night.[oX)][oX)][oX)]

I am musicman on the other forum. I will probably pay the $18.00 and see how it goes for the first year. Glad to have another place to hang out!

Here....for the duration. They're TOYS dammit! [:D]

Now everybody play nice...and play with their TRAINS!

[Anonymous]

Not a refugee, since I actually posted HERE first![;)]

[Kooljock1]

Superwarped,

I'm sure the management of said radio station will be pleased to see me spending more of my off-air time writing and producing and less gabbing with the OGR crew!

Anyways, I'll decide come late May. But I must say this does appear to be a very nice place to hang out! I wonder if they'll have a booth at Springfield???

I don't know about ORG but I should have my tables at the Big E next year.

I did not know that this was here till a few months ago. Checked it out just that one time. After I read about the charges on OGR I thought I just see what this site was like. The first topic I saw was about the same problem I was having. It was easy to post a reply. What little I have read seems to be just as imformative with helpful members. I will be visiting more often. Still on the fence about paying to be a forum member.[:)]
It was nice to see some familar names. Makes one feel at home.

I had been over here before, and I enjoy the current format over here a BUNCH better than what they had here before. I think OGR is messing up with the $18, tho. I think they'll be helping out Kalmbach and Atlas with the fee. Of course, I may yet be paying the $18 yet.

[cheapclassics]

Hi,

I am not exactly a refugee because I have posted occasionally over here as well. I enjoy OGR's Forum because it seemed as if news broke over there first concerning catalogs and other news. I always felt a little guilty as I do some writing from time to time for CTT. Perhaps activity will pick up over here now, but I hope the OGR bunch continues to do well. We need both groups to keep each other honest.

Keep on training,

LocoK in the house. I registered here before, but for the life of me I can't remember my password, email addressed used, or anything....

But it is great seeing some familiar name.

Here!

Planning to start my new train layout this weekend now that the basement is finished.

Congratulations, Dave. I can't wait to hear on Monday what you were able to do.

OK, I have joined on many forums, I am even moderate a few.

I have read this forum, and have seen what a few "memebers" had to say about the 'new wave' coming in. They did not like it at all. There are 2 people on here, that will remain nameless(but you know who they are) That think they own the joint and strut around like there **** don't stink.

[Anonymous]

I am another that started posting on this forum before I found OGR. My posting here has not been as prolific as on OGR since then.

I never got the impression that the standards forum was there trying to tell me how to run or design my layout. I thought it was there for the guys that are into Hi-rail to work out standards that could be given to the manfufacturers of hi-rail stuff so it would all play together. On the other hand, I could be wrong.

Far as I know, I'm not a hi-rail guy. I want to try scenicing & such, but I'm not going to count rivets or make sure that every figure & building is exactly 1/48 th scale & has a prototype. Life's too short to worry about that stuff. And anyway, it's my pike & I'll do as I d*mn please, thank you very much.

Heck my new scale k-line Mikado is pulling a bunch of "traditional sized" freight cars right now. Looks fine to me!

I intend to visit both forums, at least for the foreseaable future. If the OGR forum becomes a dead zone, I won't renew my membership.

And Chris? Regarding anyone who "struts around like their **** don't stink," there are jerks everywhere. Why should this forum (or GRR) be any different?

Tony, don't pay any attention to Chris. He's been kicked off more forums than he can count.

I think that things will stabilize over at the OGR site and that it will weather the storm, so to speak.

I'll try here for a while.

[Anonymous]

Bob C,

Only 2 posts! That would make you a freshman...

[FJ and G]

Hi BobC.

Are you a refugee, then, or are you trying to lure us back? If a refugee, then welcome. Well, welcome anyway.

[Anonymous]

Hi I'm a newbie here too,Only posted a few times on OGR but all replys were very helpfull.I get a lot of my questions and problems solved by looking at other posts.Heard about this site and desided to see what all it can offer. Glad to have two good forums to go to.I Have A modern-Era TMCC layout. Glad to be aboard. Orail

It's good indeed to see familiar names on board here. This looks like a good place to get and share information. One thing I like is that it doesn't have information overload. I have limited time to devote to discussing trains, so a concise board is more helpful to me.

My son and I visited the VIrginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke earlier this week, while in the area visiting family. I shot some digital video, but only took film stills, so when I get those processed I'll post a few if they're any good.
