To all concerned; A few nights ago, I posted an open invitation on the "Prototype Info Page" to anyone who didn't normally post over here on the General Discussion page, however it appears that the general consenses over there is, that we aren't ADULTS because we post here. Please go there and read all the posts as you may find some interesting opinions from some people we are familiar with on this forum. I really feel sorry for those in this hobby that can't have a little fun just for the sake of fun. Those are the people that are commonly refered to as "RIVET COUNTERS",. They're also the reason so many people leave this hobby because of the bad attitudes, so if anyone really wants to terminate this topic, thats fine, we'll call it quits, RIGHT NOW[:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][banghead][banghead][banghead][censored][censored][censored][soapbox][soapbox]

What is the big controversy over this star stuff? Look guys(and ladies) are we all not here for one thing, Advancement of the Hobby? That and Helping the young people that are starting out in model railroading.They are the ones who will pass on what they learn from us. Who cares about stars, and sign posts of however many of who posted what howmany times! Thats sounds very self-centered in a way. Thats my 2 cents worth!

All for doing away with stars and number of posts. Was an illconsidered idea at the outset which has not matured into anything useful. That teens like them, if correct, is a telling argument for doing away with them.

If its a good idea to attract teens, how about creating a TAMR board for their use?

Let's just say you don't want to know. You can head to Help us Beat FSM in the Porrtotype Information for the modeler section and find out. Tell me what you think about the topic.

GOOOOOD MORNING YOU ALL !!

NO NO, NO NO NO NO, THERE'S NO LIMIT !
what have you all been up to when I was asleep?
[4:-)][4:-)] Some of you had a nice digital barbeque [V] [V] on the Help us Beat FSM in the Prototype Information for the modeler section
must have made a great impression on the guys usually posting overthere!

remember the ancient Dutch wisdom:

" He who burned his bum has to sit on the blisters"

[dinner][dinner]Couldn't you have the barbeque overhere on this topic, would have been great for the reply count ( I saw about 4 - 5 pages worth of replies!)
even back at the DOS topic some where so aggrevated [banghead]
that they even forgot to count,
well all sleep over it, and be nice to eachother
and remember today is sunday[angel]

railroad related:
couldn't this topic absorbe or merge or take over all these small DOS related topics and posts, thus becoming a real CLASS 1 topic, and the other topics become "fallen topics"
then the guy with the most posts, or the guy with the LOUDEST posts shall kick out the starter of this topic, and he will become MODERATOR and his name will be posted in RED . . . he now has control over all the posts and than he will starting to charge everyone who even tries to READ or Edit his topic,
and there will be pages other forums filled with topics and posts by people hating the DOS just because it is a succesfull and one of the biggest topics around . . . . . . . . .

Didn't Jim Morrison write a song about this? And they're still playing it 20 years later. I would say this is look'ngood boys. And Lupo a little known factoid. Canadians BBQ more than any one else in the world. It's true, must be the good Cdn beer!
