Grouping Company forums?

[Dorsetmike]

For nigh on 12 years I've been a member of the Southern and the N gauge Group on Yahoo, now Yahoo are rolling out a new interface they call Neo, looks like they're trying to outdo Farcebook, it's ghastly. Many members are entrenched in using Email to post and read content and don't see a problem and find all sorts of excuses to justify not going over to a forum format.

Does anybody know if any of the other companies like LMS, LNER and Greasy Wet and Rusty have Forums or are they all stuck in the Yahoo mud? I've already joined this N gauge Forum, as well as Your Model Railway club and RMWeb, now I'm just looking for a Southern railway forum. (not just a web site, the SEmG web site is great for SR data and info)

Ditto - I just read the daily digest and have been spared any 'neo' changes. Easy and quick to pass over the postings that don't interest me in this format wherever I am in the world

Have you tried this option? Brian [normally of New Zealand but heading for TINGS  ].

Not sure about the other companies, but there is an LMS Forum http://lmsforum.forumup.co.uk/index.php?mforum=lmsforum

Hi there Mike, have you ever thought of starting your own Southern Railway Forum, I am sure you can get up and running for free, it is just spreading the word there is a Southern Railway Forum out there.

Lner.info has the LNER stuff on it.

I might have started one if I were a good bit younger than 79; I did start a small gardening one with some friends under the "My Free Forums" set up but after being hit by spammers & hackers a few times we decided it wasn't worth the hassle. It needs someone with more computer skills to keep going, and/or money for a more secure set up.

Here's the address for the LNER forum - http://www.lner.info/forums/index.php

The www.lner.info site itself is good for information on the LNER in general, especially for locos!
