Originally posted by FJ and G Refugees are welcomed to come to OUR train station at CTT. David Vergun Dave, does this mean that you will be doing 'Bios' on CTT members? [;)] (aka; The Man, The Myth, The Legend. series)[:)] Remember, Rich Melvin did say that HIS forum is a "..benevolent dictatorship" I think Their forum will die a slow death. I give 'em a year or so unless they change the fee structure.

I haven't been following OGR too closely. I think it's end of this month. Refugees are welcomed to come to our train station at CTT. The more the merrier. They don't seem as trigger happy here and pretty reasonable as far as not deleting posts. I'm pretty happy. Dave Vergun Reply nblum Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Upstate New York 899 posts Posted by nblum on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 7:29 AM It's my impression that Rich Melvin is getting a little exasperated and rather quick on the trigger deletion wise. Probably too many years of policing a bunch of people with a fair proportion of knuckleheads in their midst :). When moderation includes banning multiple sorts of civil and profanity free, flame free posts, it's a big job, but that's the way he and his co-owners have chosen. I'm beginning to think only a hundred or so folks will sign up for the new pay for posting forum. I'll probably sign up but more out of a sense of duty than any real joy :). I'm getting the feeling the new forum's composition of hobbiests will be heavily oriented towards hi-rail and scale, and possibly MTH-only fans from the early returns :). The major accomplishment of the forum during the last two years was providing beta testing for the initial releases of DCS and helping those who had problems. Which were legion :). Nothing wrong with that focus, and it probably saved MTH's bacon, but time will tell whether a broader range of interests will be represented on the forum. It will be interesting to see the number of posts on June 2nd. Even now the number of threads has decreased substantially as those who are resolutely opposed to the new charges have gone elsewhere. Change is always painful.

After a while, all this York, York, York stuff does get a littlle over the top. Last nite, at our club, I again reiterated myh feeling towards York even though 4-5 members plan on attending. Unless you bring a large wad of cash, it's not financially sound. Camardarie? Fourtunately, being in a club, I have the pleasure of being with at least 15 train nuts every Tuesday and Friday nite who BTW, do know what a shower is for. Deals? We got club guys always wheeling and dealing something. Can't beat MTH Premeir rolling stock for $15.00 a pop.

It went to the suggestion box for some odd reason, even though it was a question. I ask why it was moved now it's deleted. Another thread be CSX Joe I think about York Yuck is now gone that I posted to. Go figure, Gary Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts anotherone bites the dust on the other Forum Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, March 23, 2004 9:35 PM Is it my imagination but did another thread just disappear off the OGR Suggestion Forum? Yesterday someone posted a poll asking about who has paid their OGR Forum membership fee. That disapeared. This morning I posted a thread wondering where that thread went and now that's gone. That's two threads in two days! Since I just posted a new thread wondering where the other two went I'm willing to bet we will go three in three days[:0] Reply Edit 123 Join our Community!
