Howdy folks, Here is an 1-18-2011 update on the FRISCrg upgrade. Thank you for your support and patience. Update 1-18-2011: Moderators. Quite a few folks answered the call for moderators. Here are the moderators who volunteered: [FONT="]Divisions[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]Central Division - ?[/FONT] [FONT="]Eastern Division: Ted Ferkenhoff [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]Northern Division: Ethan Lawrence[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]River Division: Chris Abernathy[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]Southern Division: Mike Lutzenberge[/FONT][FONT="]r[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT] [FONT="]Southwestern Division: Mike Lutzenberger[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]Western Division:[/FONT][FONT="] Howard Biby[/FONT] [FONT="]Six Major Terminals - St Louis, Springfield, Kansas City, Memphis, Birmingham, Tulsa:[/FONT][FONT="] -?[/FONT] [FONT="]Operations:[/FONT][FONT="] Chris Abernathy[/FONT] [FONT="]Trains - ?

Please send me a PM if you are interested. Reordering of subforums (1-10-2011). We've rearranged some of the subforums, e.g., Passenger Cars, to improve access and make the structure of the forum more consistent. New FRISCrg website home page. Sometime this month, we'll change the URL of www.frisco.org to the new Saint Louis and San Francisco Railroad Historical and Modeling Society. Additionally, we'll have a few historical fact pages and a discussion of our group as it is today. There will be links on the page to the Library subforums for Historical and Modeling. Previous Note as off 11-29-2010: We'll begin implementing the planned changes during the month of December, a little bit at a time. Announcements will be made in advance of incremental changes informing members of new features and functions. The last change will be in the forum appearance and themes. Themes will be user selectable with available themes for steam (black), passenger (red and gold), and old school (All Aboard). When we get time, we'll add diesel (Red and white), too. We'll also be adding moderators and subject matter experts to the Frisco Library and begin online training for them. We've received notes from folks interested in moderating a topic area. If you are interested, please send me a PM with the area you want to moderate. One new feature, available today in personal profiles, is a distinctive name for past Frisco employees. We hope this takes us a bit further into being thought of as a historical and modeling site. The official name of the site will be "The Saint Louis and San Francisco Railway Historical and Modeling Society (FRISCrg)". We'll begin advertisements in magazines next year, with events culminating at the Annual Frisco Convention in Springfield. FRISCrg is my favorite place to be on the web, and it is only because of the members and their support for each other. Thank you Frisco folk! Best regards, mike __________________
