I'm Still Wondering...

If there are specific people from the old forum that haven't joined us here, they may be unaware of the existence of Big Blue. If you have an e-mail address, send them a link. An alternative, if you have no e-mail info, is to PM them, including a link to either this forum in general, or, even better, to a specific thread that you think "might appeal to their interests".
I'm told that it's poor "netiquette" to solicit Members from another forum, but that shouldn't preclude us from at least sharing our knowledge of the existence of another interesting site, such as Big Blue.

It is indeed poor 'netiquette' to solicit members on other forums, so for this reason, we would prefer not to post specific links to Big Blue on other train forums. One very friendly forum invited us to post an announcement there when we first opened, but we declined since it just didn't feel right. We don't have a problem with links here to other forum threads, but some others may not take as kindly to them as we do. We don't even want to use others PM systems directly to let others know where we are. The best thing is to PM them and ask for the email address if you don't already know it,, so we can email them a link. Some forums allow you to email members directly, that's fair as well. This may be a bit overreacting, but we'd prefer to err on the side of keeping the peace.
