I was going to post a message about international railways, but then i realized that no one has checked that part of the baord for just about two months. And i know that when people dont put direct amtrak posts into this part of the forum, they still get results. My resolution: Consilidate all the railforum boards into one big one, then we could have more open discussion not only on AMTRAK but also on other train realted subjects!
Have I gone crazy? (Hope Not) What do you think?

well, the only rooms wiht people are AMTRAK, and Model railroading. THe others I think should be shut down. We also I think need a off-topic forum.

So what if a particular forum doesn't get all that many visits or posts? If something belongs there, then that's where it should go.

The forums are there for a purpose - to segregate topics. I'm not interested in Model Railroading for example, so I ignore that forum. Just because nobody has posted for a while, doesn't mean to say a new topic won't be read or responded to.
Ask a question in the right place and you'll get the right answer. Ask a question in the wrong place and you'll get people complaining.

I think Polarbear has a point. For example, there are the three forums: AMTRAK, travel, and Commuter Rail; is it possible to rail travel without being on AMTRAK or a commuter line? It seems to me that at least those three could stand some rethinking.

I would argue that some of the items that get posted on the Amtrak board should actually be under Travel; that would be things like trip reports and questions about traveling by train, even if the trip reports and questions only specifically involve Amtrak travel.
That's one thing a hands-on moderator would do for this board...move topics to a more appropriate location. (No, I'm not campaigning for the job.)

I like the separate forums. But I can't tell where the dividing line is for "Western" "Central" and "Eastern".
