Re: Attention everyone - ngauger - 07-27-2013 I had to re-read a few of the 11 pages of drivel there That was a great tongue in cheek "factless" thread too It's a shame that zathros doesn't get the jest of it... We were all leaving, that's why the forum no longer would be "alive and kicking".... It was the Train section we were referring to, not the card guys... who - Thank Goodness - ARE still doing well! Charlie B Wrote:That from a senior moderator. they have so much tact.......... and yes, that's one of the reasons we all left.... and Big Blue was created Lester - at least it wasn't one of the GERN threads that he was talking about - But then again, they were all "based on Facts" Re: Attention everyone - Charlie B - 07-28-2013 I did enjoy some of the card modeller posts and thought some could be very useful for model railroading, but that place just feels wrong and I don't visit often. I was surprised that my password still worked. I missed Blue more for the time it was down yesterday than I ever did that place. Only thing good from there was being invited here. Charlie Re: Attention everyone - ezdays - 07-28-2013 Sheesh, I wonder what he'd say if he saw some of those other threads we had back then? That one went on for some 11 pages, and we all participated. Like Mikey says, stuff like this is the reason we left in the first place. We'd never ban anyone from having a good time, even sometimes at our expense. hock: After we left, the chain of command there took an awful turn. We had "the Shark" who banned anyone he felt was a threat, then there was peace for a while when Chris was running things, but Zathro was honing his skills and he now plays a much bigger role in how the forums are run, and it's like having the Shark back. A real pity that these guys have no sense of humor nor any tolerance for anyone that has. We are pleased to be able to give Big Blue up to you for whatever comes to mind, and so far, no one has taken advantage of that trust. It's a pity that those guys over there have such a hair trigger, but then they are guided by their current owner, and there's lots of policies in place to follow. We have one policy here, "Hey, it's a hobby folks, have fun, enjoy it and the people you meet along the way"..... Oh yeah, we found the light switch, and thanks to your generous donations, we can afford to turn it back on for now.

Re: Attention everyone - Charlie B - 07-28-2013 I have heard that trying to leave that place as a member is hard because they need the numbers....now I can see a way out. Charlie Re: Attention everyone - yellowlynn - 07-28-2013 Les, I too am a troublemaker, but I have no intentions of changing my ways. I am just purely having too much fun. Lynn Re: Attention everyone - teejay - 07-28-2013 I guess I'm glad that I have no clue what you guys are discussing ....probably better that way T Re: Attention everyone - ezdays - 07-28-2013 teejay Wrote:I guess I'm glad that I have no clue what you guys are discussing ....probably better that way The short version:
Re: Attention everyone - ezdays - 07-28-2013 Just one other statistic from over there, but 20 of the top 21 posters there are from the old Gauge, most of whom haven't posted, or even visited there in years. The way it's going, even after four years of us being away, it'll take those card modelers a few more years before they even start to show in the running. :mrgreen: Re: Attention everyone - Sumpter250 - 07-28-2013 ngauger Wrote:ezdays Wrote:Oh yeah, we found the light switch, and thanks to your generous donations, we can afford to turn it back on for now.But now it's a BLUE light!!!!

When do the "Flashing Blue Light Specials" start Re: Attention everyone - Lester Perry - 07-28-2013 teejay Wrote:I guess I'm glad that I have no clue what you guys are discussing ....probably better that way Tee Jay This is what we are talking about.

Re: Attention everyone - ngauger - 07-28-2013 Sumpter250 Wrote:So !!!! When do the "Flashing Blue Light Specials" startNow wait a minute here - Don't confuse me!!!! a "Special" is a train run, that is not on the regular schedule.. It usually gets "Green" lights or at least a highball or 2!! Re: Attention everyone - ngauger - 07-28-2013 And I also just remembered how all this started... when the members were going on their exodus from the "white" place due to the membership not liking all the new rules and all the changes.... Someone made the innocent comment: Last one out - turn off the lights! And then a few days later that thread was started Re: Attention everyone - nachoman - 07-28-2013 wow, they got angry over that? And I thought they were a little picky over at the Model Railroader forums. Back when I used to read/participate over there about 6-7 years ago, there used to be a fellow that would get everyone all riled up. They banned him, and he would periodically come back and stir the pot again. Re: Attention everyone - tomustang - 07-28-2013 Applause to Les |
