TrainBoard Contingency Planning - the Demise of TWP

The recent demise of The Whistle Post, another model railroad forum, due to the sudden and tragic death of its founder and admin, Kevin Moore, got me thinking about what could happen with TrainBoard, which has a much larger membership and audience. I would hate to see the wealth of resources that have accumulated here be lost.

So, to bring up a very uncomfortable subject (and since part of my real job is disaster/contingency planning), are there contingency plans, if any, for maintaining the site? Has this been thought about / discussed?

 

This is a very good question.

Not sure what the membership was for that site, but here there are currently well over 31,000 actively registered members here.

 

I've got it covered. If I get abducted by aliens, you will have an alternative.

Likely they'll come after you from the planet Frisco....

 

Really? I'll go stand in my front yard if you think it's possible.

 

Ship it on the Frisco!

 

Might work if your tin foil hat is painted the right shade of their Mandarin orange/red.

 

Thanks, Charlie. Just make sure the foil extends down below the ear lobes.

 

I'll trade you my Illinois for your Maine Charlie, at least you would be three hours from the Cards and I would be back in Red Sox territory. Even after almost 20 years, the flatness of Illinois is boring....
