Doesn't seem possible that two months has gone by since we launched the OGF. The response the first day when we went live was unbelievable. The time since that first day has flown by so quickly.
The vision of our core group of about twenty-five was to provide something very different for a forum dedicated to O-Gauge trains. We believed that since we are considered as social media, there should be a balance between community/fellowship and O-Gauge trains. From all indications to date, looks like many, many have agreed with our founding principles. Thanks to all of you who have embraced us, thanks to all of our new members who seem to continually grow in number, and thanks for spending part of your day with us and contributing so much.
In just a few hours, we will go over 7,000 posts and over 500 new threads. In just 2 months, that's impressive by anybody's standard. Won't be long now before reach 10,000 posts. Can't wait to see where we are in twelve months at this growth rate.
Again, thanks to all of you who made this all happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when my name was on the first page. I'm glad that this Forum is available for us to learn and share about our hobby.

Time flies when your having fun, what is also great about the forum is that it listens to its members -real train board is one example. This forum is only as good as what members contribute. Share when you can, tomorrow is Whistle Stop Wednesday Video, if you got something it would be great to see.

I've enjoyed the forum so much I wasn't paying attention to the passage of time. Seeing the guys at York it just seemed like it's been here all the time.

Starting with 16 Founding Members, we’ve experienced 800% growth in membership in 60 days. That is so much more than anyone expected. Congratulations to each and every member.

It's great to be apart of forum that is a community that shares about O'Gauge trains but also celebrates birthdays, anniversaries and cares about each other!

Emile Congrats to the Founding Members for having the vision and then the drive to turn the vision into reality. Time flies fast enough, but it really does only seem like yesterday that OGF hit the ground running. Certainly doesn't seem like 60 days already. Heck, that was back in Summertime!!! I firmly believe the 3-rail O-Gauge community has been hungry for an online forum like OGF for YEARS. We "settled" and "tolerated" -- but could never quite embrace -- the land of disappearing content. So THIS forum now stands to become THE defacto "dedicated" 3-rail O-Gauge community where train-loving enthusiasts exchange valuable information and good quality time. I can only imagine all the best for OGF as we cruise into 2020!

Two months old?? I'm not changing that diaper!!
This Forum is fun and informative. And the lack of drama is refreshing. It seems this has a good formula for successful longevity.
I just wish we all lived close by to each other so we could have train running parties every week!!
