Let's get rid of "roadgeek" from our vocabulary!
Bradley Torr
I would hereby like to put forward the motion that we hereby delete the
noun and adjective 'roadgeek' from our collective vocabulary. I believe
that the term 'roadgeek' is mildly demeaning to our hobby. Also, it may
lower the self-esteems of those highway enthusiasts who are just coming to
terms with their love of roads. Roadfandom is also on the outer margins of
the transport hobbies already; perhaps if we were no longer known as
'roadgeeks', we would find that this marginalisation will lessen.
Also, roads enthusiasts are looked down upon by members of the general
public - our friends, our relatives, and others - as it is - when compared
to enthusiasts of railways, shipping and aviation, whose hobbies are looked
upon as being completely normal. Also, if railway hobbyists can be called
'railfans'; if those who love the maritime arts are called 'boaters' or
'salties' - then why must we be stuck with 'roadgeek'?
As replacements, I have a number of suggestions:
* roadfan
* roadnut
* road enthusiast
* highwayfan
* viaphile (from the Latin "via", road; and "philus", lover)
* road lover
Any suggestions, comments, dissertations, etc. are welcome.
Regards,
Bradley.

like computer "guru" once a term gets started it's hard to change it.

"roadfan" gets my vote of those listed. I suppose there's a combination
of habit, tradition and some sense of identity built up with
"roadgeek"...but it does seem to have a tinge of that social-misfit
self-esteem problem that is mentioned here occasionally. At least it's
not "roadnerd"
The first instance of 3200 references to "roadgeek" I found in deja was
12-28-97 by hairline@aol.
"...a mythical I-875 outer-outerbelt that I've read about on some
roadgeek sites."

Last time we went through this idea, Roads Scholar was one of the "winning"
suggestions.
There is a trucking firm named Roads Scholar that plies the roads of New
Jersey. I don't know where it's based.
As for the name change itself, it didn't take hold last time and the posters
and postings now are geekier than ever.
A roadgeek by any other name....

Just so you know:
Railfans are not universally loved -- and railroad employees especially
tend to detest them, mainly because they have this habit of wandering
around railroad properties with cameras but without permission, thus
risking injury.
They have a derogatory term for them -- two, actually.
The milder term is "foamer", as in a rabid animal.
The really annoying ones are called "FRNs" ("F**king Rail Nuts").

: My vote is for "roadfan", an easy parallel with the
: familiar "railfan". Some people are both railfans and roadfans.
I agree, it carries the same connotation as "railfan" as well, as opposed
to say, "railgeek", which sounds too much like "computer geek".

"roadgeek".
I know I am cool enough in all other areas of my life that the one "secret
shame" of being a road geek is not going to condemn me to being a geek in
general.
Anyway, if someone thinks I am a geek just because I have a peculiar obsession
with highway signs and roads (my friends always laugh when, flipping through my
pictures, see random road signs mixed in with the fun) and they want to joke
about taking "OLD 15" to get wherever I want to go, that's fine with me. I am
not ashamed. I think road geek is a perfectly appropiate name, because, let's
face it, this whole thing is pretty geeky.
Everyone has a bit of geek in them. This is mine. Otherwise, I do not lack
girls or friends or a great social life. I know how cool I am. For the rest of
you, however...
Euphuisms do not change reality. I am not afraid to call something what it
really is. Calling ourselves "Roads scholars" or "road fans" does not make us
not road geeks. Personally, I think it is pretty sad when a someone tries a gay
title to make themselves something they're not. "Road fan" sounds pretty geeky
to me, anyway. I think it's cooler to ackowledge when something you do is geeky
then to try to pretend it isn't. That is the difference between people who are
cool and people who are geeks: The people who are geeks can't tell what is
geeky and what isn't. Remember, liking roads is geeky, but that does not
necessarily mean you're a geek.
Some people could use a little more self-esteem...

I know that....... even though a lot of railway workers are railway workers
because they're railfans :-) ......actually it's illegal to wander around
railway tracks and depots and shunting yards and the like on the New South
Wales Government Railways without:
* Having passed the course known as PW-01 (track safety awareness);
* Wearing an approved safety vest.
The majority of railfans that I personally know are quite responsible
however; they mainly keep to the platforms and the bridges well out of
harm's way... unlike most roadfans I know, who have been known to take
photographs while skimming along at 75mph in heavy traffic and cross four
lanes of traffic just to check the datestamp on the back of an unusual sign
:-)

Bradley.

process of how I named the _Roadfan Locator_ and why it isn't the
_Roadgeek Locator_ or something similar.
At the beginning of this year I had come to realize after having read
almost three years' worth of m.t.r posts (give or take) that new
participants have no easy way of telling if there is someone who posts
regularly who is familiar with the area or areas with which they are
also familiar (or want to be familiar). Even in the last couple of
days there have been posts asking about certain areas by people whose
first posts were relatively recently (one regarding Alberta and one
regarding Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas). In addition, I wanted to keep
track of who was where for myself, even though I wasn't new, but the
main intent was to create something for those who were. So I posted a
message here to see who was interested, and received a positive
response, as many of you might remember.
Now that I had general approval and permission from people to list them
(one of the stipulations of being on the list: People must inform me
that they wish to be included, due to the inclusion of e-mail
addresses; I'm not going to just assume someone would like to be on
there, and then add him or her), I had to come up with a title. I
decided on _[Something] Locator_. But what would the "something"
be? "Roadgeek" was the initial obvious choice, since it had been used
widely up to that point. But since I was creating this page for people
*not* familiar with m.t.r, I decided "roadgeek" may not be the most
appropriate term to use. m.t.r regulars know the connotations
of "roadgeek", but someone with little or no experience with the group
might not understand, and shy away. While your reaction might
be "Well, if they have a problem with being called a 'geek', then they
don't belong here anyway!", the net result would be that a person who
wanted info that he or she could have easily gotten probably would miss
out on it, and that m.t.r would miss out on a potential regular, maybe
one from a part of the world not already represented. In light of
this, I decided to play it safe. I let other words come to mind. Of
those, "aficionado" sounded the most appropriate. But it's awkward and
easy to misspell. So I went to http://www.m-w.com/ and plugged
"aficionado" into the online thesaurus there. The results, with my
comments:
addict -- too negative
buff -- possible
devotee -- too poetic
fan -- possible
habitué -- too foreign (to others -- I had five years of French)
hound -- possible, maybe too corny
lover -- too strong
votary -- too obscure
Of the remaining choices, I chose "fan" due to what others have
mentioned: The precedence of the term "railfan".
I know that this post was long, but I wanted to make myself clear
within this thread.

Just after some people were typing nice things about how everyone on m.t.r. was
nice and smart and sweet and how we didn't regress into flame wars, this
happens. I don't mean to provoke anybody. I just think people should not be
afraid to be a roadgeek. When I describe it to my friends, I am not ashamed to
use that term. "Yeah, I'm a roadgeek. So What?" Calling it something else would
not change anything. At least I'm brave enough to call it what it is.
Anyways, BRADLEY, if my writings strike some sensitive personal chord with you,
then perhaps you need to take a good look at yourself. I would hope most people
would either take what everyone types on here with a grain of salt, especially
my insignifigant ramblings. I really don't care much about what people think,
and I don't expect people to care much about what I think. Also, I'm sorry to
disappoint you, but my orifices are exit only (a superhighway with no
re-entry).
Proud to be a roadGEEK.
