TJ

[erkenbrand]

That's awesome! This is a great forum, and one heck of a resource for anybody in the hobby.

[big ed]

Who's counting?:p


At first I thought TJ hit 100,000.:rolleyes:

Or he made a mistake and meant he hit 10,000.:D

[gunrunnerjohn]

A few of us blabbermouths have accounted for most of the posts. :p:p:p

[T-Man]

TJ, had 100,000 words in his first five posts! :D

What?!? I don't talk too much. Why do you guys think I talk too much. I don't think I talk too much. Maybe just a little. But most times I really try to formulate my posts in a concise way. But maybe you think that I'm talking too much. I really try not too talk too much. Maybe I'll try to talk less. A little less. I'll start with this post here. There ... I'm not talking very much now, am I. I think I'm talking less. Right? I think so ... much less talk from TJ. Good. So there. I'm talking less now ...

:D:laugh::D

(The problem is, it's so much fun chating with you guys and seeing all of the fun projects/tips you have up your sleeves!)

I'm so glad it was you that said this.....! :laugh::laugh:

[manchesterjim]

Just out of curiosity......is there a "number of postings" break-point that lets me graduate to something more than Gan Labourer? :) (I always aspire to be middle-management wherever possible!)

Ok....ignore this.....!

I just found the thread titled "User Levels Explained". Another reason my dad always said that I let my alligator mouth overrun my hummingbird butt! (His way of saying I too often speak before thinking)

I think at 100 you'll be a railroad coolie. :p:p:p

Tworail should have added RAILROAD TYCOON for 10,000.
I guess tworail never envisioned his site every going that high.

TJ will be there soon.:D

Gunrunner is feverishly trying to over take him. :laugh:

[gunrunnerjohn]

I'm working on it, but you're no slouch in the message count department either. :p:p

[big ed]

But to tell you the truth I don't really care.

Back when I saw you catching up to me I could have put it in overdrive,but I didn't.:p

I am wondering if you will ever catch TJ.:D

Plus I am at a disadvantage.

I HAVE TO WORK!:D

There I got an extra post with this comment.
But you will pick up three more answering.:p:D

[gunrunnerjohn]

Truthfully, I don't care either, I just posted in this thread because it was amusing.

I used to post in several computer forums for years, I passed 100K in one and 50K in the other. People were in awe of that many posts, but I never really thought about it, just answering questions and doing moderation stuff seems to run the post count up. :)

BTW Ed, here's another post. :p:p:p

[big ed]

BTW Ed, here's another post. :p:p:p


100,000!?:eek:

To bad the site doesn't give locomotive thank you's.:D

Without posting you have no forum.:rolleyes:

Another for me.:p
Keep it going we will catch TJ by tonight.:laugh:


Whoops I should have put this here,:cool:

Another for me.:p

Sure everyone can.:D

At some point the supreme beings might step in though.:smokin:

[Massey]

Woohoo YAY!! I'm in!!

Massey

[tjcruiser]

You know, there's a rumor going around the MTF that Admin is in negotiations to merge the site with Twitter. It would expand our membership by huge amounts, but all future posts would be limitted to 140 characters!

140 characters ...

I'M DOOMED!

:D:eek::D

TJ

[manchesterjim]

And speaking of running the post count up.....I'll be happy to break into the 20s!!!

:ohwell::ohwell:

[erkenbrand]

Don't worry, manchesterjim. One day you'll hit 20, and then you'll blink and be over 100. It sneaks up on you. :)

[Xnats]

It is sure nice to see the forum back up :thumbsup: What happen?

[manchesterjim]

It is sure nice to see the forum back up :thumbsup: What happen?

Yeah! I started going through withdrawals last night!!!! :eek::eek::o

[xrunner]

It is sure nice to see the forum back up :thumbsup: What happen?

I'd like to know too, because it was more than just some kind of forum error. The domain name of this place was non-existent as far as I could tell.

[gunrunnerjohn]

They let the Domain Name expire and there was some issues getting it established again.

[Reckers]

That's a title I could live with for a while!!:rolleyes::rolleyes::cool:

...at 175 posts, you're a Gandy Dancer.:D

[Reckers]

It is sure nice to see the forum back up :thumbsup: What happen?

They had some issues (I don't pretend to understand that stuff) and it took a few emails and some time to get it back on line. Thank you to TJ and Christian for the fast response!

[Xnats]

Did it expire John? Good thing no one came in and grabbed the name for hostage, like that site you guys use for the Lionel Parts. It sort of seemed like an input error on the domain address or something along those lines. When you looked up the domain #(think that is the right word) it linked to a RC hobby site.

[gunrunnerjohn]

Yep, do a lookup on modeltrainforum.com, you'll see the name expired on the 10th. Does that timing look familiar? ;)

The other hobby site is on the same server farm, which is why you were directed to that one.

[Xnats]

O I see, well I think I do at least :o anyway it is another post towards my Engineer Degree :laugh:

[tjcruiser]

Reck, I'll toss a thanks your way for having Christian's (Joschik's) other email address. That helped key him in as to what was happening.

No thanks due my way ... I was simply sitting in the dark like everyone else. I'll toss my thanks over the pond to Christian and his tech team. Thanks for the fix/bailout!

TJ

[gunrunnerjohn]

That's the spirit. ;)

[Timb]

yay...your back....I was like...humm, did I scare everyone away...:eek:...I was just starting to learn some things. Haha.

actually, Great fourm with a weath of knowledge and people who dont mind helping newbs....:thumbsup: Awesome!!!

Well, there's this thing most hosting companies have now, it's called "automatic renewal" :ohwell:

Glad to help, Teej, if sending a one-line email qualifies as making an effort. *L* It was a lot harder fixing this morning's coffee!

Tim, we're glad to have you on board and even happier you like the site. Everything I know about model trains was learned right here...and Big Ed regularly instructs us on New Jersey, it's history and etiquette! Especially the part about the hard rolls!

[big ed]

Someone should have been watching renewals better?:rolleyes:

The mod doesn't have a way to contact upper management?
I hope you do now?

Thanks Admins......BUT,



IS THIS ANYWAY TO RUN A RAILROAD.:eek::D

[tjcruiser]

A simple oversight, Ed. Once Admin found out what was going on, they were on it quickly. Problem fixed, and hopefully nailed tight so it won't happen again.

TJ

Automatic, automatic, automatic ...

I could have bought it?:rolleyes:

Hmmm,

BIG ED'S MODEL TRAIN FORUM:D

Or else I could have held it hostage?
For a Big Boy O gauge in Brass, complete with 6 Brass passenger cars to pull. Along with 2000' of Gargraves track and a bunch of Ross switches.:laugh:






I would never do that.:smokin:

[big ed]

Automatic, automatic, automatic ...

Not for forum domain name renewals though Ed. Go with automatic. Trust me, I know from experience :thumbsup:

TJI note they only renewed the domain name for one year, that's probably a bit short-sighted. ;)

[Joschik]

All our domains are on auto-renewal. What happened was that 123-reg, our ISP did make a mistake and did not pay Tucows that provides .com services to it (we had already paid) and Tucows stopped providing services. Human error, very annoying and outside our control.

Christian

[gunrunnerjohn]

I think I'd pay the domain name provider directly as I do. :)
