HRW is my 'home' slot car site and I've only gone to SCI when a search lead me to some posts there. I don't really know much about the site and am totally fulfilled by what HRW offers. Thanks to everyone for that.

This post is really about what waay suggested this morning, that someone may have dropped a human hydrogen bomb at/on SCI which had repercussions. Then in a subsequent post it was stated that "HRW is a breath of fresh air". Thank goodness for that. Please, no cutting the cheese, booty burps, butt yodeling, air biscuits, rectal turbulence, or stepping on a duck around here. Lets keep trouser trumpets and sphincter sirens down wind of things.

Air biscuits! That takes me back! My grandfather referred to Tennessee Barking Spiders a good 50 years ago!

I read a lot and post a little on all three sites. I've always found this site to be extremely accessible and friendly, bar none. The other sites I use seem to have issues. One I find to be somewhat hostile at times from some of the administrators and posters, but I have had very positive experiences there as well. The other I find to be somewhat aloof and cliquish, but contains information I rarely find anywhere else. I certainly agree that I'd like to see all three continue to support and grow the hobby.

The other forum's owner may be the most dedicated slot car promoter in the country. All sites have issues and downtime including this one right here. Having been a web developer since the mid-90's - yes, just about the beginning - I've seen my share of these issues from site moves. And as typical this one was caused by host mistakes and compounded by host' refusal to believe it was their fault.

Let's not castigate someone for trying to do the right thing.

Incidentally said site is running MUCH faster and without a certain annoying load wait from CloudFlare.

Be gentle my friends, as always it takes a community, a varied community.

Good point Monte, one of the things that I do like best about the community of slot racers is that there are lots of varied ways to enjoy this hobby and that does extend to where people like to share those projects. So to your serious point Monte, I do think that everyone here really does want nothing but the best for SCI and Alan as he tries to get his sites up and going again to "scratch that itch" that different forums provide.

We need a like button as I also agree w Monte as several business on the boards I read are phenomenal at promoting the Hobby and helping others. I wouldn't have found this great board if it were not from SCI.

FYI --
Just for the heck of it, I logged into SCI a few minutes ago and was able to get on - I'm using Firefox browser. That's all I know the computer stuff! Other than having to log in constantly and occasionally having to hit the refresh button, things were as they've been lately. Frustrating at times, but it's not gonna keep me away.
I have faith it'll be fixed eventually, so I'm not gonna complain to Alan about it. I enjoy both forums as they are.
HRW was my first internet forum experience, and it's still the first I log in to when I feel like talking (or typing) about slot cars.

Thanks again, Harry - If I can navigate, then ANYONE can have FUN here! Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)
