I’m here! Hope to see all my friends join in!

I’m a refugee.
I don’t feel like a refugee;
I feel emancipated in this Age of Aquarius or Aquarium Car.

I don’t consider myself a refugee.
I’m just playing both sides of the tracks! [:D]
Glad to be here[:D]
I am getting comfortable in the new surroundings, besides I have more smilies here[}:)][}:)]
Refugee!
Entered CTT witness protection program and changed name too![}:)]
Not a refugee…just standing up for my right not to have to pay to have my voice heard.
As I’ve stated before, I’ll make up my mind at around 11PM on May 31st. But this sure seems to be a nice site with good people sharing informative information about trains. And the owners provide all kinds of on-line content, including videos, reviews, and on-line special information and articles too!
And nobody yet is telling me what has to be the “STANDARD” on MY layout!
Which, by the way was the beginning of the end over at the OGR Forum. The $18 was only secondary.

I’m sitting on the tracks too, waiting to see what happens over at the OGR forum. I think we’ll continue to see more and more action over here in the meantime.
I have nothing against any competitive magazines. Any owner of a forum has every right to charge for access to it. However, I also have the right to refuse to pay for contributing content to what amounts to, in many cases, writing mini articles and posting them on their forum. To their surprise, they will find that they are not the only O gauge forum on the web. They made their decison and I made mine. Rather than bash OGR, I wi***hem all the very best. I see them as good folks that made a bad decision.
CTT now becomes my first choice. As on any other forum I use my real name to make it easy on everyone. So welcome brothers and sisters in model railroading to a friendly place where the open exchange of ideas and opinions on this great hobby is freely welcomed.
This place “Friendly”? Have you read some of the posts here the last couple of days?
I guess that is the price you pay [free] for no censorship what so ever. There seems to be little or no monitoring here. I have seen name calling and the dreaded discussion of politics.
Rock on…
Well, I like it here too - but also at OGR.
Here![:D]
Not yet a refugee, but my problems today with trying to get the “other” forum to play nice with my Netscape installation finally drove me to register here to see how things go.
I may just be optimistic, but the few threads I have looked at so far, the pages seem to load faster on my slow dial-up than over there![:)]

I’m here, but I’m also over there, at least through May 31.[:D]
Here AND there[8D]
I’m here as Butleryard and Yardmaster over there.
I wouldn’t consider myself a refuge, as I did pay my $18.00 over there and will stay active to see what the next year will bring. Also have to get my $18.00 worth of info out of the forum.
Stop in here once in awhile to see what is happening on the other side of the fence. It don’t hurt to have several sources of info for this hobby!
MA&PA is sitting on the fence post, tettering on both sides. I have a large following on OGF, I’d be cutting my throat my leaving on a permanent basis. Since I have a business to think of, $18 is surely not going to put me in the poor house. Nothing wrong with sharing my time at 2 places.
I, too, don’t consider myself a refugee. I am on both sites, over there as alfick3. I paid my $18.00. I have never had any one over there tell me what I had to have on my layout, as a standard. I have made mention many times of my O-27 trains, and tubular track and non-command control. Never once was I belittled for any of it. I’ve always had curtious replies to all of my postings.
