Hard to belive that we launced just a few weeks ago, but today we achieved our 5,000 post. This has to be close to a record for a new train forum.
It is all about thanks to you, are very loyal and active OGF members. They pace will surely increase as we continue to grow.

Congratulations to OGF and all our members. This is only the first of many significant milestones. I guess our "Tiny club" isn't so tiny after all.

It's definitely a fine start!
Hopefully we can continue the momentum by focusing on the O-Gauge hobby and fellowship and not worry about what others are doing. A forum should stand on its own merits and not what another forum does or did. So far it's been a real pleasure participating!

Marty, not to worry, this is part of our founding principles. We will not tear down or post anything negative about the other O-Gauge forums. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has served us very well in our first few weeks of operations and we are not about to change it. How we act will determine our future. And we sure want the future to be a good one. Besides, we are rapidly approaching the Christmas season (and I know you are a big fan Marty) and it is the time for goodwill towards others.

It's interesting to see that the threads that get the most hits or views - apart from the recurring added to collection, layout work and color Monday threads - appear to be those that relate to interaction between Forum members off Forum/in person, such as York and other train shows. That reflects the friendly nature of our community.

Now this is what I like, talking about trains especially O gauge trains and not everybody else's problems. Congrats on 5000 posts, let's keep it going.

This Forum was made for us! This Forum was made by us!
That’s why it works.

Well said, Emile.
Our mission statement that Emile wrote served us very well in making sure we had a format that we believed would be tremendously popular among O-Gauge enthusiasts.
Now, on to 10,000 posts.

not seeing delete or closed was an improvement at the first week. it is a pleasure to be here and enjoy what we all like trains of all makes and models and sizes and share are creative ideas and some not so great ideas that well fell firmly to the floor.
now wouldn't it be great if after life we returned again to find this forum still going and having a sense of being here before!
