The original starting date for Railroad.net, as started by John Stewart, was 1996. Exact date, I dont know.

When we re-released it, I forget. Maybe Mike Roque remembers.

I think you guys restarted the site on May 16th, 2002 or so and restarted this version on March 13th, 2004(give or take a day).

You're almost right, Ed.

The second launch started back in 5/15/02 and lasted until a bit after 3/1/04. Then the launch of this new forum system was on March 11, 2004 officially. FYI the John Stewart railroad.net crashed around March 16, 2002.

As for my total railroad.net appearance, I started posting here (under John Stewart's command) on Friday, November 16, 2001.

ROTFLMAO (Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A-- Off)

Personally, I'd rather have the Otto Vondrak trading card :wink: .

Hopefully there won't be any Moderator cards... I look too much like Capt. Murphy (but if I grew my hair out again, I'd look more like Inuyasha!).


"Hesh want Railroad.net trading cards!!!!!"

Trading cards...hysterical. I've imagined myself in many situations, but never on a trading card. Fabulous!

Obviously, you guys remember the dates much better than me, but phpBB says this board came online 09 Mar 2004 11:34 am. As far as when we originally took over RAILROAD.NET itself, I think it was in fact sometime during the summer of 2002...

That's right, you guys joined in the new Forum PhpBb System when it first came online on March 9, while most everybody else joined on March 11.

I also remember when you guys took over the Forums and the rest of the site too from John Stewart, that was in May 2002, when you created the second Forum system.

I like them. I'm just wondering if there are stats on the back and what they could include.
