Looks like our friends over there at http://www.railroad.net don't know how to archive their posts; connection timeout error messages have been quite prevalent lately. Whenever you don't get the error messages, it takes about two minutes to load a page (even with high-speed connection).
We did try to tell them that UBB was the way to go, but they insisted on a "ground-up" custom approach that is, unfortuntately, ASP-based. Ah well, what's the old saying, you can't put an old head on young shoulders, or was it vice-versa...?

Glad to read that I'm not the only one having difficulties in reading the RRnet site. For some time I thought that perhaps it was my ISP or some other equipment snafu that was the source of the difficulties. Now I read that it is something else. I enjoy reading that website as much as I enjoy reading this one. Whatever the problem is, I hope they get it corrected, as it is becoming quite annoying. Especially after they wrote on thier home page that the time-out issues were dealt with. It really is annoying Posts: 506 | From: Wisconsin | Registered: Mar 2002

im glad the webmaster of this site knows how to run the site. The guys on RR.net really need to do something about the site or else they will drive away even the most hard-core users. Im glad this Amtrak forum isnt going in the same way that the other forum is(more of a political venting/air carrier hate site). and thanks to the posters on this site for keeping the discussions interesting.
