So David are you planning to take the Z out of your logo? It appears you don't give a crap about it anymore...

I'm not even going to take the time to answer this. The tone is something less than professional, bordering on condescending.

At one time, a long time ago, the N and Z forums were combined, just like HO and larger scales.  Several years ago, a group of Z scalers wanted their own forum and assured me they would have enough traffic to support it, so I created it.  Things went along ok for a while, but then the Z scalers dropped off.

We have always tried to meet everyone's needs, but Railwire has never been a forum with multitudes of sub-forums.  I personally didn't agree with the "Best of" and other splinter groups either .. they have never worked here.

This place has grown from the few who regularly came here to over 300 visitors per day .. each with their own interests.  We want to keep it focused to what it does best.   An occasional house cleaning is needed.   RW was getting too splintered, and the signal to noise ratio has been climbing to where the modeling is less and less, and the moaning and groaning is getting more and more.  The last time it got this way three years ago, I almost shut it down completely.   ATLAS sure did when it became too much work.

My advice; if you don't like the changes that Tom has made to the FREE service that you are getting is to either accept them, or move on. There are plenty of other places that may cater more to your liking. www.trainboard.com has multiple sub-fora that caters to nearly every interest group.  Others include http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/ , trains.com etc ..   you can also try  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=model+railroad+forums

Free?  WTF?  Why am I paying $65 a month for Railwire Premium???
