RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted March 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2018 Well I was going to have beer free day, however I feel I need to celebrate RMWEB becoming a teenager.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted March 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Browsing RMWeb gives me a great deal of pleasure and little irritation (unlike some other places on the web). Thank you too for letting me post so many of both Dad's and my photos on here. Just about everyday I learn something new. David Edited to use a more appropriate word.

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted March 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2018 Let's have a celebratory wish list thread not had one for a while. Please Mr Bachmann can I have a ..................… Let's think: * Class 230 - never mind the fact that I've yet to see one in revenue service. * D78 tube train - might as well go after 2 markets. * DLR P86 LRV - well, if we are looking at obscure prototypes, we might as well look at one which ran in 3 places (London - and Manchester and Essen with a pantograph). * Firema / AnsaldoBreda T68 / T68A LRV - only ran in Manchester (can't possibly think why …). Or how about something more mainstream: * Class 303. * Class 304, 305, 308 or 504 - which might be able to use at least some of the same tooling. * GWR "razor edge" railcars - especially 2 car sets but the single passenger ones would also be nice. Of course, to keep all boxshakers - sorry, modellers - happy, these would all need to be in high street shops first thing tomorrow morning, at pocket money prices. Anyway, while on the subject of wish lists, let's return to RMweb - and a familiar refrain: Not forgetting "There's nothing here to interest me" You're doing a fine job Andy. Keep up the good work (You don't have to be mad but it helps). I wonder how long it will be before we get calls for more RMweb build challenges - locos / railcars - obscure prototypes - clever conversions of kits / RTR / cheap models unearthed from wherever. Don't worry - you won't find those these days. No - I'm not talking about cheap models (like many people here, I've long since given up on them). I'm talking about even rarer beasts - people actually building models, as opposed to complaining about other people not building them for them. Saying that, in time, it could be nice to see some new challenges based around building stuff that could be operated on a layout. In the meantime, I'd also like to take the chance to thank you for setting up this site and keeping it going. Regards, Huw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted March 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Congrats Andy and contributors Trying to think how RMweb will look in 13 years.... VR headsets? Edited March 18, 2018 by Mikkel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold pirouets Posted March 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2018 Andy, if you had to have purloined something from the running costs of RMweb for therapy how much would you need? Mikkel - If we have ready to run now, does the VR headset take us in to Ready to Imagine and no one actually builds anything and Eastwood town looks different every day? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Ava_Hay Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Just to add my congratulations to the stack. A well deserved pat on the back for Andy. I have been on here for around..............well stap me vitals I cannot recall when I actually started with RMWeb!

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2018 I wish it was only 3 years and not 13, because that would mean I was 10 years younger than I am now. Mind you, I can neither confirm nor deny that I am (or am not) 10 years older than I was 10 years ago or might be at some point 10 years in the future, such confidential information cannot be quickly divulged (or not divulged). I wasn't actually here from Day 1, but it was perhaps something like Day 7 or so, certainly within a week or so of the site first going 'live'. I ate a lot of sausages back then, but didn't used to brag about it. 13 years later and I'm eating tasty salads made by CTMK from posh recipe books, thus am feeling virtuous today. Happy Birthday to everyone and a huge thanks from me, too, to Andy, for making it all happen and keeping it all still happening now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmthtrains - David Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Crikey, has it been that long? That means I've been on the forum for 11 years myself. A very happy anniversary to Andy! Amazing to have seen how the site has grown, and might I add, a dramatic improvement in the manners of the participants over the years. Those early days...yikes! It was like the comments section on the Daily Fail website most days. Too many two-finger typing wars. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Andy, would you please PLEASE steer clear from the crap that now runs NGRM, I really hate that invocation abomination of forum software In fact, so much so I've basically stopped using NGRM at all and I'm afraid if you'd bring RMweb the same way, my involvement here will end PDQ too I'm not looking forward to that... As NGRM isn't an open forum I can't see how they have utilised it but yes, it will be Invision's latest incarnation so I'll have to send you a 'Sorry you're leaving' card - you do seem to have pre-judged how we may be utilising it though.

Andy Y Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Facebook is only a problem if you read some of the bilge posted (I have been having a cull of anyone who thinks they are a friend and posts racist/extremist material) and the intrusive elements - bring it back to being a platform for interaction and it shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't get hung up on the 'steams', it's just terminology for the same ways our View New Content works. There are reasons for the transition; sound ones, such as ongoing security maintenance and GDPR compliance. There are also opportunities with it, numerous things I've identified which will mean more ways to interact within the community. From the limited view in the screenshot we will have a lot more functionality from the same core. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) happy birthday RMweb, been here since Sept 2010 i went away from NGRM for a while before they changed as i wasnt posting anything and forgot about it. then when i went back it had changed all the "my content" and "followed content" had been wiped and it would have taken a few hours to trawl around building back up my followed content, i missed so much content while i was away that it would have taken many more hours to catch up and then the new site layout was abit confusing and not as user friendly as before which gives more time on top to get used to so i havent gone back, if hadnt of gone away in the first place none of this would have mattered Edited April 17, 2018 by sir douglas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
