Could one of the administrators tell me what's going on? Why is it all locked?
Are you reformatting it? Locking it forever?
Thanks,

Looks like the MR forums are on lockdown. I saw searchlights and sirens going off. [;)]

Hopefully it's on for a short time. Last nights events must be worse then what was first thought.

Yes, I don't want to carry it over to here, but some bad postings from outside got very bad.

Which ones?
I'm really worried that the forum will shut down because it's where I have learned a lot abou MRR'ing.

Yeah, this is strange.
Should we contact Bergie, or would that just add to the problems?

I'd guess Bergie has something to do with locking it - would be nice to see why they feel the need to lock it now though, the problem from last night seemed to be fixed?

I'm trying to contact him through this, but I don't know any other ways.
If he's busy making our beloved forum better, I don't think we should bother him.

I don't usually go to the MR forum; but, my suggestion is don't bug Bergie,
and just wait awhile, then try it again.

I saw what was posted last night. Somebody trolling around, bad stuff though. I haven't seen anything over here as bad as that.

If bergie is working on it, why couldn't he do it in the evening? Cut into his train time?

I think they are still getting flooded by the trolls from last night. Let's just say they posted some rather nasty things in regard to model railroading.

I guess this means more actual model train time, and learn some more about the real thing. Be patient Matthew, everything happens for a reason. Have faith [tup]

What are you talking about? Trolls? What's going on? Maybe I haven't been reading posts enough.

It's too bad, Iwas just about to post my first picture ever, when "Sorry, there has been a problem! You have replyed to a locked topic!"
Hope it's better soon.
