This raises a concern here snoopy55.
If this forum shut up shop we would loose a wealth of info!
All the maps and locos for new people.
Do we have a backup plan?
In case this site decides to move on to the next game do we have a backup plan to move data?
Should we seek a backup option - whats everyone elses thoughts?

Well, I think you referred to the wrong person....I just Moderate, watch what goes on and if need be, deals with what is posted (did I word that correctly Falconer?) Falconer, the Adinistrator is the one who will answer that question.....you will won't you sir........
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....

Thanks snoopy55 - I did mean you in a way as a lot of this content on here is from you. I was looking for your opion.
Im looking or putting out there if this forum folded where to from here?
I presume you have backups etc.
Falconer I dont want to imply there is anything wrong with this forum, hosting company as this service is brillant and a great forum, just do we have a backup plan.
I know we will all move on to other things so prob looking for assurance if we post stuff here and on the wiki it will be here for the foreseeable future.
Anyone started there own fan web site?

Yup, there are backups and, don't worry, we're not going anywhere.
We love doing this, building fansites, fanforums and running hookedgamers.com. We have in the past closed fansites that weren't succesful and basically had nothing to offer.
If a site has blossomed at some point, we'll keep it alive for ever. A good example is hookedonpirates.com that (after years!) is finally starting to slow down in actual visitor numbers. It provides a vital role in the history of Sid's Pirates! as it was the first fansite, the most active fansite and has the largest database of Pirates! mods. Its legacy will remain online for all those who want to play the game years and years from now.
Another site, hookedonageofpirates.com failed (the game failed) and will likely disappear sometimes soon, and hookedonstronghold.com already did (game wasn't very good but our launch window for it sucked as well). There's no additional value of keeping those open.
The Railroads! fanforum is successful and there is no site that offers the same amount of information, insights and downloads. It's not going anywhere. Ever.

There are, or kinda were, other forums for Railroads!, but they have kinda died down. This one is the best for finding the answers to your questions or getting the answers. Mant people have refered to this site, and I myself have done some of that refering.
Keep up the great work Falconer, and tell the others working with you that they're doing a great job
