What was my thread saying this forum was like North Korea?! (-:
The Yahoo Groups were right!
Bygone Era link on the homepage appears to be broken. Getting an 'Invalid Forum' error from MyBB.
Slow day today!
What about an 'introductions' section?
I'm thinking more along the lines of "hi I'm Chris, enjoy the fourm and look forward to joining in the debate" kind as opposed to the "bubbly blonde seeks sugar daddy for fun, good times & possibly more " kind of introductions.
Hi I've noticed we have an allocation list on each of the odd workings thread expect GNE, I've had a little list me and mate did a while back I combined it and correct some things such as mergers of riverside and Winlaton. Possibly a few errors/PVRs to change but this could be posted at the front of GNE odd workings thread so people can check certain allocations and to help new members etc. only a thought! :p

Just been having a look at the games section, and spotted yeti sports 1, when I was at School I used to play this version which far more entertaining.
http://www.methodshop.com/games/play/yet...lood.shtml
Also I used to play Copter which is extremely addictive, I downloaded it Yesterday on my New Samsung Galaxy Ace 3
http://www.coptergame.net/
Just a few suggestions from me, also Candy Crush and Splashy Fish as they quite popular atm, although personally I haven't played them.
I know i have said this before but is there any way that the Forum can be re-opened so Guests are able to read what's posted? i really think we are missing a trick here as people who see info on here are going to pass the link around and would give us more traffic and more of a chance of getting a few new faces

Guest used to be able view threads, I actually only joined so I could see the threads! Could argue I'd not been a member without viewing the threads before hand.

From other forums I've worked on in the past, you tend to find that it doesn't quite work like that. Your traffic increases yes, but you tend to find you don't get as many registrations. What's increased traffic without contribution? How does that benefit the site?

well if the viewer is of a decent mind he would credit where he got the information from and that should bring in views to the site and when people see the area this forum covers i would be shocked if many people turned down the chance to join this social group
Just a thought relating to the 'other types of transport' thread.
We have water, rail and air - but not road.
Thought discussions could take place with regard road building projects such as the Wear bridge, move the St Marys Road realignment project discussion into a more appropriate area, dualling the A1 and the current upgrade to motorway standard between Leeming and Barton etc.
Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions?

I would welcome the creation of a 'roads & infrastructure' area of the forum to discuss road-building schemes both past and present. Proposed and abandoned schemes, such as the myriad of sub-surface motorways planned for Newcastle in the 1970's, could also be discussed here.

I can remember seeing those several years ago and being genuinely taken aback.
To keep it bus related, there be discussion about bus lanes, pinch points, ideas on improving junctions and heck, we could even get Andy 'traffic and travel' Clifford signed up with some live bulletins!

Why keep it bus related?
The discussions which take place in the Trains, Planes and Water sub-forums are not always bus related. To keep it strictly bus related would severely restrict discussion (in my view at least) and is largely covered by threads in the 'Bus Management and Infrastructure' part of the forum.
I would love to see the Cliffmeister giving regular traffic and travel updates right here on the forum. The additional web-traffic it would generate for the site would be unreal. Perhaps if we all chipped in enough money we could get him his own private helicopter!
