The other place

[Derek Clark]

Not sure where this question should go but looking through old threads here I kept seeing references to the 'other place'. Where is it?

[Graeme Dunbar]

It's a bit of an 'in joke'.   :)

Here, most probably:

Ah, is that it? Is it any good? I tried to join over a week ago and still get a page saying they have sent an email to validate my application. They haven't sent an email.
If it isn't worth the bother I won't press it.
The group here have been very helpful.

A number of people echo their posts to both places so you may be getting most of what you find most relevant. However, there is a lot of other good material too, particularly on general model making technique and prototype, trade and other matters. It covers a much broader range of interests so clearly some will be of less relevance to 009.  I think there is some reorganization taking place so that may be the source of the delay.

The other place can also refer to RMWeb, though for narrow gauge NGRM is much better. As Graeme says the members over there cover a much wider set of interests, there's also a lot of members from abroad. Most of the regulars on here are also members over there. Try again and if you get no joy message me and I'll give the admin a nudge!

[Derek Clark]

If you could nudge them for me, please.
I've gone through the process twice now and no email to confirm received and no replies to the contact requests.
Cheers.

There is also the facebook group that I like as well. It is a lot easier to post photos on the facebook group:

Rumour has it that the 009 Society also has a presence on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube...

Facebook page is The OO9 Society but I cannot find anyway to pin it to my shortcuts.
Twitter I don't do and there is some lovely stuff on YouTube but often too long for my attention span  :)

That was the email I found this morning, I think?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, I've been known to call ngrm-online "the other place" (it's a tad like how The Lords refer to the Commons <grin>)

There is a lot more activity in the other place, but then they do cater for _all_ ng scales no just "ours"

I, too, "like" (follow?) the mentioned faceborg group. the big difference with faceborg is trying to find old posts - although I have been told there is a way to search. Yes, putting images in fb is easier than either here or the other place - most people here use a photo hosting site (I have used flickr and (latterly) imgur)

[Derek Clark]

I have entered "the other place".
Thank you all for the help.
