They're planning on banning everyone under 20. They've already deleted
my account, and all 1500 posts, even though I'm the one that made the
forum the way it is. They're also going to ban anyone who goes barely
off topic or talks about "hypothetical roads" and the forum will suck.

I'm not sure if you realize this, but aaroads.com is considered to be
the hallmark of roadgeeking websites. Think of aaroads.com as
basically the top of the tree, while every website afterwards can have
its roots traced to aaroads.com in some way, shape or form.
Certainly, it was aaroads.com that made me realize that I wasn't the
only one who had an interest in road infrastructure, and I'm sure
almost everyone on this newsgroup who's been around long enough would
concur.

Doesn't mean there isn't anything incredibly flawed with their
administration on a forum.
Scot...@gmail.com
Um, question...considering the fact that the forum is still in
maintenance mode, and no posts are being displayed to the public just
yet **how would you know?**
We're banning anyone under the age of 20? Guess I'm gonna have to ban
myself. Oh, wait, I can't do that, cause it would be silly.

How is banning worse than saying "f-you, you're not allowed to unsubscribe" ?
Remember: you VOLUNTARILY gave your roadforum back to AA Roads.
Don't like it? Steal it back again.
Otherwise, quit acting like a spoiled child.

A number of us have stumbled onto the hobby via nycroads.com,
including myself. Some sites, such as Kurumi's site, and a number of
others, would also have their roots from around the same time frame,
over a decade ago. But certainly, AARoads has built a strong
credibility over the years as "one stop shopping" for all your roads
needs.
I don't know how the new edition of the forum will pan out, but what I
can say is let things work themselves out. Someone may be bitter, but
it's only the Internet.

We have ways of making you leave. They are called killfilters. As you are

don't even understand what one is. You think this is a Google Group. It's

Beg to differ.
I can only speak to cahighways.org, but my site has been around since the early
1990s, and goes back even earlier to posts on ca.driving back in the late 1980s.
It has always been completely independent from other websites.
As for aaroads, it showed up in the late 1990s, as a combination of the efforts
of Alex (on the east coast) and Andy. Now, I was less familiar with Alex's work,
but Andy had a parallel site to cahighways.org that focused on a specific subset
of California roads. Excellent work. Anyway, he and Alex merged their sites to
form the original aaroads content.
So, while I applaud the work of Alex and Andy as a group, we should also
acknowledge the excellent predecessor sites that went into it, their developers,
and the fact that there are a number of sites that are completely independent
efforts.

My first highway and transportation website started in 1997, and has
always been completely independent of others. That said, I certainly
recognize the efforts of all the other highway private websites that are
out there.
Scott Oglesby was the first inspiration for my websites, as before I
started mine, I was already contributing material to his 3-digit
Interstate website.

* New York State Route 86 (NY 86) is a 39.11-mile (62.94 km) long state

So, I doubt one could drive across the state on route 86.

Given Bush and his insanely expensive wars (*), that we will be paying for

ever give, when a GOPer/TeaBagger says anything about "deficits", is a
polite snicker.

interests. Someday, we'll actually figure out a way to have a war where the
money just gets moved around and nobody (on either side) gets injured or
killed. That will be an accomplishment of which we will be justly proud.

Thruway near Harriman, yes you can, give or take the tiny bit that is
in Sayre PA and the part that isn't yet signed I-86 due to ongoing
upgrades to get rid of cross roads.
If you want to go east of the Thruway, you need to switch to another
road. The obvious thing to do would be to take I-84 from its
intersection with I-86, to the CT border.

use. That is, you choose who to put in the killfile and which threads
or subthreads to kill. You don't have to leave it up to some moderator
to do it for you, or get stuck with the choices of some moderator who
disagrees with you.
It's too bad that practically everyone has moved to AARoads and doesn't
post here anymore.
