Site down -October 2016

Chico....Don't be discouraged. Nothing to do with it. Just using some example RR related as a pun. WTF? I'm glad its back up.

I heard they were asleep at Kern Jct and the DS was too. It happens a lot at night on the Metrolink on the LASU. You have to tone up the sleepy head DS to get a signal to get by it at 200 am.

WTF has this got to do with the site being back up?

[Richard98]

Glad your all back. Its one funny and humorous site here somedays. How is the economy on your railroad's Service unit these days?

Shame when they pull the plug that GoDaddy or whomever will just throw up a 404 page rather than something nicer, like Out to Lunch or, Be Back Soon....or whatever.

I had an employer who allowed their domain registration to expire. So instead of paying a relatively low annual renewal fee they ended up paying over $1000 to redeem their lost domain. (And if you miss the redemption period you can pay even more to buy your domain back from whomever grabs it next and turns it into a link engine or porn site.)

Site hosting is easier to restore (although it can be a pain if the unpaid hosting company deletes the site from their server instead of redirecting to a 404). Then you get to find out how well your backups actually work.

Trump would've never let this happen. Glad the place is back up, i already feared this was done for good.

I blamed crooked Hillary, she's a nasty women. Glad the site is back up thanks to the guys in charge.

Glad to have the site back, good work nsrlink.
Give yourself a raise.

Well well welcome back. Nice work. Maybe the cool off will make some appreciate what we have in this place. Railroading on the internet, all one vast web of rails, now all in contact. Who knows what might come of it.

Thanks NSRLink .... I was beginning to think the world was ending.

It's my understanding that the fees for the hosting service came up for renewal and the site sponsor was initially reluctant to do so. It would seem that we owe our webmaster a debt of gratitude for his lobbying efforts.

I propose a toast to NSRLINK and to our benefactor.

Good job Link and thanks!!!

The CC on file with our web host expired & it took longer than anticipated to fire things up again.
Sorry about the delay, but I just relay the message.

Many thanks to site owners Gordon Elias & Seely for keeping the lights in around here!
