ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
I can't get to the Atlas forums or anything atlasrr.com related - heck, when I tried to look up the IP address to see if it was them or a circuit out on the way there (I work for an ISP, so this isn't rocket science) I found that other than atlasrr.com alone there were no DNS entries for www.atlasrr.com or forums.atlasrr.com.
Hmmm. This is looking very weird from a network standpoint too. I can ping at least one of their DNS servers (aquamarine.advanced-networks.com) but when I try to query it, I get a "server not found" error through DNS.
If you are running Windows XP, can you pull up a command line (Start-->Run-->"cmd" <enter>) and put in nslookup forum.atlasrr.com and tell me what you get?

I've got forum.atlasrr.com, modelrailroadforums.com, trains.com and railroadforum.com on my favorites list. Right now I've got three of the four up in tabs on my browser... I'm bored and want to read something new!

The forum was pretty active by then, and at the time I suspected that he picked a copycat name.
Then again, it could have been purely a coincidence, I really don't know. After all, the name is a fairly obvious combination.
I have had folks go to that site looking for this one, but I'm sure the opposite is true as well. I do wish the names were a bit further apart, but oh well.
Sorry, wrong state... although if you were to somehow get ?Verizon? to run a T1 from there to here, we could hook you up to the internet... you wouldn't like the price though. DSL is just soooooo much cheaper for what you get and what you'd likely use.

Actually our regional ISP/cable company have created one of the largest fiber optic networks in the country...surprising for companies who serve an awful lot of us who live 'in the middle of nowhere.'
Verizon DSL is available here, and we use it at our machine shop in town, but we have cable at the house. There's also another local ISP starting to get into the DSL field...for about $17.95 a month according to the radio commercials.
Wanna hook me up with a T-1 line?
