Will posted:Alan, I hope you don't mind one comment on the move which I hope would be constructive. Since almost all threads now are heavy on photos and videos, would it make sense to organize them strictly by the type of trains they include? Let me give another reason that might make sense. Say I am new to the form and the hobby and have an interest in pre-war trains. I would naturally go to the tinplate forum. How would I find this thread unless I knew where it was? I would think all the tinplate topics were in that forum. We only knew to come here because of the new topic directing us here. I think this is probably the most informative and enjoyable thread on tinplate of all, so I would hate for anyone to miss it.
Either way, I hope your household recovers fully. That is of far greater concern than where a topic ends up. And there is no place for uncivil remarks. Thanks for all you do.
Will ..... That is a constructive comment..and the kind I appreciate. Sometimes decisions are made that don't take into account certain scenarios. The way you put it above is something that perhaps we did not consider along those lines. Once a thread becomes large and mostly photos, moving it to the photo category made sense for a number of reasons from the aspect of copyright moderation....but....perhaps in the cases of members likely taking their own photos of their trains, along with your reasoning above, it doesn't make as much sense. Perhaps we need to take another look at this. I will do so asap!
Again, thanks for taking the time to make a positive suggestion and thanks so much for the well wishes!
