is back but no more forums. They do not have the ability to moderate the forums. Probably should lock this thread to keep us geezers under control.

Our forum is now closed as we do not have the ability to adequately moderate discussions.
Thank you to everyone who has participated until now.

Hi!
I’ve got a number of BLI locos and have used their forum a few times. As long as I can email them for help or parts, I am ok with the loss of the Forum.

I agree. I also have a number of BLI locomoitives and for the most part am quite happy with them. The forum had few postings and there were only a few posters who contributed. The forum is not much of a loss.
The site never went down…just the forum. And I have to say that the forum must have been largely a pain where the sun don’t shine for BLI. It would have been different if hundreds of congratulatory posts appeared soon after long-awaited models had been delivered to owners, but instead there were two or three complaints most days. It is too bad because people who were willing to inquire and fix minor problems themselves won’t have that resource. All-in-all, it was low volume, low positive reinforcement, and who the heck needs that headache when you are trying to make ends meet during a protracted recession?

Wow, this is gutsy posting another BLI site/forum thread after the last one got abruptly locked. [(-D]
In before lock!
er second lock?
Seriously, I didn’t even know BLI had a forum. I don’t own any engines from them, only the California Zephyr, which mostly has been well received.
The site wasn’t helping sales that’s for sure.I backed out of a Q purchase after reading about it.As a matter of fact I’m done until they start building them here!
Geez, does anyone build them “here” anymore?
Rich
The only issue would have been if the BLI forum was still up. Now that it no longer exists, there is no violation of the forum policy and no reason to delete the thread.
Tom
LOL
Tom, I wasn’t suggesting any violation of forum policy, nor was I suggesting that the thread be locked or deleted. I was simply amused that, on the heels of a similar thread being locked, the topic was immediately raised once again. There is a difference.
Rich
I must have missed that one, Rich. This thread was started last Friday. Was it before that?
Tom
Yep, you were part of the discussion.

I was a little surprised that the thread got locked because the discussion seemed quite civil. But, perhaps, the moderators thought that the discussion was drifting off topic.
Rich
[D)] Ahhhhh, yes…that one. Yea, the conversation was civil but it had definitely drifted off-topic from the original discussion.
