Tony's "Forum" Replacing the "Bulletin Board Service" & "Classifieds"

Enter Tony's Forum Here

We have concluded the testing of our new public forum installed just a few weeks ago. We'd like to extend our thanks to the frequent visitors of our web site and customers who helped us run through this process!

Tony's old built-from-the-scratch forum served us well for more than 9 years and was very popular. But it gradually became outdated, did not provide features users expect from public message boards, and so we decided to replace it with a more modern version.

Better security, ability to search, ability to view entire threads, send private messages between members, receive email notifications. The new system offers all of that and then some. We are certain that it will need to be tweaked further, but hopefully most changes will be done behind the scenes without affecting our users.

Help us make the forum the useful resource for all modelers, for those with years of experience, those new to our hobby and everyone else in between. Don't hesitate to post your thoughts, ask questions, reply to requests and questions. Offer your opinion on new products, news, and events affecting this hobby, and react to opinions of others. Use the marketplace forum as you would use classified ad section of your paper.

Finally, please tell us how we can improve the forums, what would you like to see. Get in touch with us directly, send a private forum message to webmaster or simply post a message with your thoughts.

The old board remains where it's always been in read-only mode, but will be removed soon.

Thank you as always for your patronage. Please join and post your first message to the forum today!

Tony
