Yes the actions were childish and not something I would want anyone to go through. Tex volunteers his time to help me moderate the site, and honestly does the lion's share in terms of banning trolls and spammers. Our user base may have our differences but we do operate on a principle of respect.



As such Ham has earned himself a temporary ban. The ban was mutually agreed upon, and will last for one month. I want to make it clear that the question that Ham asked was not the issue. It was the method of contact, and lying about how he got that information. Especially when a publicly available phone number and email address were both available. While the responses do take a bit, I did make a point to answer everyone.

I'm one of the moderators for this site. 1chan is a simple image board in which a large amount of images are shared, but generally, claims aren't made to ownership except in the few threads where a poster shares their images with just a "look at what I saw today" kind of thing.



Regardless, if you'd be so kind as to indicate which posts have your photos in them, we can either make a note in the thread with a copyright or delete the photos entirely. For the sake of my ease, please reply to this with a message that has the appropriate post numbers. For instance, if I wanted to indicate the message that you've posted here, it would look like this:

You know, chans - used as they are intended.



You can find this kind of phenomenon in smaller imageboards, big and popular places like 4chan, 8kun and the like are all cesspits. Stuff gets eventually destroyed. Use a monograph, but have it sensibly sized, unlike this talented person from from Pori. I pity his location, almost every place closed there.

So 1chan, do you suppose hump yards may eventually leave the US entirely? Seems that the PSR thinking is that unless you're putting cars over the hump 24/7, it's more efficient to flat switch. Or is that a buncha hooey designed to please shareholders?

Nah, with roller bearing cars (or even plain bearing cars that are properly lubed up) you can get some good distance without that much speed if you kick it.



>>2566

So how much less are we talking for maintenance costs between a yard designed for flat switching versus humping? If you still had electric switches like the yard you mentioned earlier, wouldn't the only savings be in not installing and maintaining a retarder?

What about the employment required? Flat switching you can do with one guy and a radio shunter, how many persons are needed to operate a modern hump yard. Like how many tracks is one trainman's territory?

Retarders are massive money pits. Humps also need more frequent surfacing to keep the hill and cars from hanging up on the lead. It's also a personel requirement too. You have a hump job and trim job on 24/7. You eliminate 4 switching jobs and that's nearly $900k in savings per year.



The article describes it pretty well in that you switch the cars into a block at their origin and get them much further before they need to be reswitched. I've blocked cars for terminals over 1,000 miles away before. In that way, there's less(but not zero) reliance on humps as focal points in the network.

>Mind, there was s steam locomotive that was free from hammerblow



Haven't you considered the legendary shay locomotives?



They, and handful of other were geared, meaning an upright triple cylinder engine on one side and long gear train to every wheel under the engine. This is is to eliminate hammerblow because also implies saw-tooth like torque curve, that's why conventional steamers are such princesses on the easiest of gradients.

Howdy folks! I've been working on some updates to the board and am ready to publish them. Lets get started with the ones that effect users the most.



.Webm files are now supported. Because of this I've also upped the max file size to 8 MB.



Next, we now have a Catalog. You can ask Tex, I've been working on this since we changed software. The Catalog is still in beta, improvements will be a default thumbnail for text-only posts and proper clipping of text.



The last big one is the new ability to lock threads. Generally in the past if a thread went off the rails it was just deleted. This also meant any useful info was deleted too.

The BBCode/Markdown styling will depend on what direction our board software takes as I'll be honest I don't possess the coding skills necessary to do that on my own.



As for banners, those are coming sooner rather than later. I do still have all the original banners, and am open to accepting new ones once we get the originals working. At this point it's down more to formatting.



Finally, at this point I don't have any plans to change the static pages. They're more of a time capsule than anything else. A little bit of the old internet allowed to stick around. I did add disclaimers to then about their status but that'll probably be the extent. Did you have something specific in mind?
