I think we should bear with the problems and be a little forgiving with problems with the site.
MLS is a great site. A great service is done here.
We should thank them for all of the effort in keeping this wonderful site up and running.
I for one say THANK YOU! Thank you for all of your efforts for helping us and the Large scale hobbie.
David
PS Thanks again…
Bear in mind that if Shad decides he doesnt need the grief and actually ever did the plug, where do you think all those attitude and ego folks ya’ll are complaining about will migrate too? Hmmmm???
I have my own vested intereset for the sites well being as I have all my pics, some going way back, are hosted there. Those pics are links to topics now on the other 3 LS sites and 2 O sites, if it got shut down and I lost that, I would have to say “game over” as there is no way in hell I would hunt down and repost almost 1 meg of photos and then re-edit hundreds of pics on several dozen topics to update the photo links, some topics would just be DOA as after a period of time one cannot re-edit them on some of these forums.
I just keep remembering the debacle at GSM and the fallout from that, sure GSC rose to fill the void, but its a much more sober place than the madhouse ever was…
You can say that again, especially after they got rid of that ‘tac’ guy - the ‘trouble-making saboteur from another site’. Dang it all, he called model trains ‘toys’, y’know, and the red-box crazi- sorry, fans, ‘foamers’. Whatever next?
Well, thankfully, the fans of GSC will never know.

Victor, I feel your pain on the hosting thing. Several years ago I decided to buy hosting from a large ISP rather than renewing my 1st Class. I moved everything from the MLS servers to my host. I fixed a few posts, but wasn’t willing to fix everything I ever posted. Now it no longer matters since the archives over there were dumped. Also, just about that time I move over here. Haven’t missed the place much at all.
All;
I think it is easy to set back and complain about everything, but it is a different story if you are the one that is the fixer.
I have no complaints just praise for people that keep a great site running.
That is more than a job in it’s self.
Thanks for all of your efforts in keeping things running…

As with any endeavor, when the ratio of complaints to enjoyment gets too high, sites shut down. Its pretty easy to complain, but its very difficult to keep 95% of the people on your site happy. A few grumblers can ruin it for the majority.
I got it today.
I guess P…p happens.
Happy to be part of the 95%.
Vic,
You might want to migrate those pics back to your 'puter and burn them to DVD.
Just a thot.
Anything can happen to these sites.
John, I already have most all of them on the home comp’fuser but I plan to backup everything onto a flashdrive very soon.
Saturday’s treat from MLS: (just a few minutes ago)

That’s a very informative error message. :o
Yeah, a lot of people go nuts and think it’s a virus (they don’t google the name and find it is a software development environment for web sites)
Some people have actually uninstalled their browser, done a virus scan, etc…
Now it happens so often, most people know what it is.

I only ‘lurk’ over there and have never got the dot.nuke thingy. Guess it occurs when you try to log in.
Try it right now…
Still there. The Duke, I mean. It’s like an old friend now.
That’s wierd Greg, still working fine for me?
