    BVE: Bandwidth and Crossposting...


    I've been reading the messages that have accumulated now and before
    the forum was dropped the other day by accident, and I think some
    clarification is in order. Hopefully this might put out any still
    smoldering embers left over from the closure of the BVE forum on
    Crotrainz.

    Bandwidth and crossposting (answering one message in the forum
    within another) are not major concerns on this forum. We want you
    to post as many topics as you want as long as the subject the
    message remains BVE-related. I don't know how Barney and Vern ran
    thier forum but this isn't theirs, it's ours. The things that
    are likely to irritate the mods here are foul language, not
    acting professionally, flame wars, trolling and other activities
    that disturb other members use of the forum.

    There are time on these forums where it almost seems like a live
    chat, with people replying to each other almost as soon as a message
    is posted. There are times when traffic is down, especially as the
    weather gets nicer. But forum will always be here as long as you
    guys use it.

    You're not obligated to read all the posts. If there's something you
    don't like, usually it will go away faster if it's ignored. This is
    especially true for the occasional Troll that will log on and
    leave messages just to see what kind of reaction they will get. This
    is an international website, and it does get all types. But that's
    one of the forums strengths as well!

    I noticed today that we've already passed the number of topics on
    the Trainmaster forum. I wonder if we can pass the MSTS forum by
    the end of the year? Just wondering.

      Not good enough, though.

          And this bothers you why? I'd really like to get to the bottom
          of this issue over Anastrainsimforum2002.

            Yeh always remember, this isnt vern and barney's forum. Its got compltetely different and far more lenient rules, which you should all appreciate. BVE is always a popular forum on message boards, and on crotrainz the BVE section grew far more popular thatn MSTS and other forums, so I think there is a strong chance that BVE will takeover MSTS, especially now that people can upload BVE files here.

              I just can't get for a second why it is always me that people blame me for. Why?

                A tip - don't post every single little bit of news that you have - other wise you'll get flamed (again) for posting too much.
                People are showing concern that this forum could join crotrainz in the Great BVE Forum In The Sky, thats why they don't want a whole page of your topics that just focus on one tiny little bit of news.

                I don't think its personal,in the main, but if you keep going, it will be. The ill feeling would be towards whoever was clogging up pages worth of board. Take a chill pill, and throttle back a bit with the posts, for your own sanity and well being!

                  Anas, I would recommend until the route is released that you limit
                  posting about it to once a day or once a week. That would at least
                  show people you're trying to take them seriously.
