Re: Most Bizarre Model Railroad Behavior - Charlie B - 06-05-2014 EZDAYS said " Isn't this typical of a lot of our threads? ![]() ![]() I am the owner/moderator of a Yahoo group for Samoyed owners. I have 72 worldwide members, a select group and all friends. Many of us have met and had parties in person. We talk about anything and everything except religion and politics. The group is 6 years old and we average 4000 posts a month, and we come from all walks of life and beliefs. The same thing that makes The Gauge work is what makes our group work. I have lost some new members because they thought discussing off topic things were out of line. The ones that hang on and start to contribute learn quick. We do love our dogs though.

The thing is, that I think a lot of forum owners, admins and mods think they control the world that they've created. ![]() ![]() Look at this thread, it started talking about stupid people smashing model trains just to show on YouTube, and went on to talk about destroying other property. We talked about the messes and vandalism that people create. then about target shooting, and on to using model trains to carry targets. It continued with a discussion on how we frequently wind up off topic, and who know where it goes from there. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: Most Bizarre Model Railroad Behavior - Charlie B - 06-06-2014 I closely relate our forums, (Blue and the Whitedoglovers) to the show connections. I have the yahoo group private and hidden so we can be a little more open. I did have to shut one guy down about 4 years ago because all he wanted to do was belittle folks. That is the only time I stepped in. Pretty good I think. Charlie Re: Most Bizarre Model Railroad Behavior - Charlie B - 06-06-2014 Just don't start talking about that damned light.

That is the only time I stepped in. Pretty good I think. Yeah, that's good. We've only had to ban one person for cause here, and say something to others only a few times this past five years. There is so little to do here, that we've ordered another pinball machine for our rec. room. We'll have to move the pool table over a bit, but it'll fit just fine, right next to the bowling alley. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We still can't find it in our budget to get Ed that new light bulb that he requested a few years ago. ![]() ![]() Re: Most Bizarre Model Railroad Behavior - Sumpter250 - 06-06-2014 ezdays Wrote:We still can't find it in our budget to get Ed that new light bulb that he requested a few years ago. Do you think we will ever get him to switch to a "scented" candle ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: Most Bizarre Model Railroad Behavior - ezdays - 06-06-2014 Sumpter250 Wrote:ezdays Wrote:We still can't find it in our budget to get Ed that new light bulb that he requested a few years ago. Only if he pays for it. But then again, there's that tricky fire code that we have to adhere to. He can have the candle, he just can't light it..... :mrgreen: |
