jhz563 posted:I am trying to keep the spirit of Switcher Saturday alive. The switch to the photo album forum was to better align subject matter with the forum theme. The photo album forum works well for a mix of model and real life examples. The Hi-Rail , O-27 and Traditional forum has become a catch all, and thus the photo album forum was suggested by Mr. Arnold as the most appropriate of the available choices within the terms of service.
In general the move and Rich Murnane stepping down from being the host of a 4 + year recurring thread, all started with the legal concerns over copyright issues of images posted on the OGR forum found through google searches. The move was my attempt to keep a good thing going, and make one less headache for the OGR staff.
I think the participation has been pretty good given the shake up over the photos. I will try to keep it going as long as I reasonably can.
It has started out well. We need to keep promoting it on the original Forum so folks know where it went. Some of the frequent posters have not made the switch to the Mark II version on the Photo Albums Forum and I invite them to join us. We miss you guys and your input!
With a bit of caution on posting real rr photos so no copyrighted ones are used, we can keep the thread both interesting and informative, and much like the original version of the thread.
Thanks for your good work on this!
