I think we left at the right time

[ezdays]

I think that we all still have an investment in the "old Gauge" if nothing else, because there is a lot of our information still on it.

Yeah, we've got more of an investment than time. Some have a piece of themselves back there and it's hard to pull completely away. I've been looking at a few other sites that are now owned by CG and I have to tell you, we are not alone on our dislike for the ads and the frequent problems with access. I've seen other sites that have had mass exodus' of staff, I'm not sure where they went, but knowing the Internet, there's always something else to one's liking out there. The folks at CG are use to the backlash by now, and I would think they'd have learned, but being a profit-driven corporation, I guess they have no choice. I doubt that they'll let it whither away either, they have a substantial investment to protect. We wish them well.

It has given the staff here great pleasure to be able to revive the old familiar, independent train forums, down to trying our best to color match the background. Ed is right, we should advertise, "Under OLD management", with "OLD" being a relative term, of course...
