Enough Is Enough!!!

Phil Mitchell Husky Voice: " 'Ello, is that you Yorkie? I've gotta tell you something... *Grunt* *Hiss* *deflate*... I get aroused by trains more then my Shirley... Now get your two tones out!"

(All in jest ofcourse)

I'll get my coat!

 

Fun fact: The truck cab is empty. The driver is in the train car, controlling the truck remotely.

 

Yes please. TSG to the stage please.

 

Ah yes. The class 150

 

Looks like a 156 to me...

 

Indeed, I've never had an issue with this forum over the years. The only time I've had a post edited was because I briefly mentioned piracy, but other than that it's been fine.

I once asked why they couldn't add a like system and I was told to use WNXX instead.

 

Go to a forum meal and they'll tell you why they say that (it's a common response).

Ultimately it's their forum and it's up to them how to run it. It's not how I would do the rules personally it but you can't argue with the results and they have to balance accessibility for some extremely highly strung and/or vulnerable people (given the hobby) as well as easy going chancers like us (as I said I've had countless warnings myself and am blocked from posting in half the forum). And no I don't have Stockholm Syndrome... just respect for the staff having met a few of them. Again, in real life, they are much more chilled than they come off in the medium of text.

I imagine a lot of the antagonism would be diluted if they changed the template warnings which start "It has come to our attention that" etc etc which almost seem designed to wind people up by overstating the perceived severity.

 

I don't know what it is like now days, but I remember originally WNXX was a contrast to the over moderation of RUK, and was quite a lawless forum!

 

Not like the good ole days but nothing ever is

I miss the internet of c. 2002ish. Just before the normies started to take over with their constant taking offence at anything and everything.

And now we even have bloody laws about what you can do ffs. If this was 2002 and I was a time traveller, I could put lemonparty.jpeg here to demo what we'll no longer be able to do in the future. No doubt it'd be deleted eventually once a mod saw it, but it'd be seen as jolly japes cause we all understand each other on the internet and don't have to worry about people blowing a nut. Now I can only weep.

 

I mainly lurk there nowadays as I don't feel welcome to express myself in my own way.
How ironic that a load of trainspotters can't create an inclusive atmosphere!

 

*Sarcasm*

 

The superior class 150

I've just been and checked this evening before going down the coast. It's defo a 150, just one of those fancy pants ones that has a six instead of a zero!

 

We really need a laughing icon to accompany the Like button!

Technically they do have the same engine and drive train underneath.

 

Slight difference I thought....?

But yes. Close enough

Is that the next goal? Get to 156 pages before the release of TSW5 lmao XD

 

How about this peculiar 47 with 2x high intensity lamps...
