Now that trainorders will be going to a fee-based service, I am hoping this discussion board picks up in popularity. I never realized it existed until yesterday!

Hey, man! I hear you there. I just found this place, and I'm already liking it. I may even be moving my Muncie, Indiana site to here.
It's too bad that Todd Clark chose to make TO subscription based, because I enjoyed it there... But I can enjoy this place as well. To paraphrase Demo Dick Marchinko: "Doom on you, Trainorders."
Quick note to the TrainWeb staffers, thank you, and keep up the good work!

I'm another ex-TOer. It's good to see some familiar names. I just found out today about the TO subscription. From what I've read there, there should be an influx to this site if everyone is willing to give it a chance. This is my first post here and I look forward to many more.

Welcome both of you here to Railforum! I would expect Trainweb to be around for a LONG time because it is said to be the MOST EXTENSIVE and VISITED railroad website in the world. I do hope MANY more people start using this Railfourm. It seems strange that this forum has such a small number of postings when this forum is at the same time part of such a large and extensive website. I do hope the changes to Trainorders will bring many new faces to this forum.
I am VERY happy that Trainweb is run by such friendly people who are determined to have the BEST and easiest-to-use railroad website on the internet! This is without the annoying pop-ups and fancy bells and whistles that other sites have. I look forward to an EXCELLENT train-filled 2001 with Trainweb!! -Daniel M

I just wanted to let you all know that I will try to keep this board updated on anything I know about here in the southern San Francisco Bay Area in California. As I can remember, I have been visiting this WONDERFUL website since early 1999. Welcome to one and all former TO users and everyone!! Daniel M

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses...
It will be interesting to see if another "free" site will capture the web traffic that Trainorders currently enjoys. Since I already have a website hosted here at Trainweb, I guess it's only fitting that I ATTEMPT to join in on the discussions on this board...
I might even check out the "pay" Trainorders when it starts up, but like many others, I have my doubts about how well the new service will work, and whether TO will be able to retain its current traffic levels.
This board looks like a good alternative, - IF we can recruit enough people to make the discussions lively and worthwhile. Three threads a day ain't gonna cut it!
Best of luck, guys - be sure to tell all your friends!

Hello all. I also made the move here from TO. I didn't realize these boards existed either and I've had my site hosted on here for over a year! Looks great. Bring on the discussions!

Yet another ex-TO'er here. Glad to find out that there is another major FREE railfan forum out there to take TO's place. I was thinking I was going to be relegated to the CincyRails Mailing List and my Indiana & Ohio Rail System Discussion List, but then I was informed of this place. Keep up the good work, Trainweb! Looks like I've found a new home.

Since every other TO refugee is posting here, I might as well hop on the bandwagon.
Like fwarailfan, I never knew these boards existed, and I have had 2 TrainWeb sites. You learn something new every day. I hope this forum can be an excellent alternative to TO, and being at TrainWeb, and free, I expect it to be!

Its really good to see so many TO members here.
I wonder if this site owner is planning many changes to further attract the masses defecting from TO? You know, like adding forums and features to attract more industry people?
