Honestly I always use this URL:
http://www.tt-forums.net/viewforum.php?f=52 to access the forums.
But I understand a lower ranking might give us less visitors and less people will play our sets that take much more time to develop compared to TTD...

Alas, after checking the post counts, I agree with the move.
Just to sum up:
TT - 73358 posts
TTD Patch - 128843 posts
OpenTTD - 130364 posts
Loco - 57046 posts
That says it all. The only way to move back up the ladder is to produce quality work and make people interested in the game. More people, more posts.

This is it.. I have further qualms with the whole thing that I have taken up with Owen.
Please push lomo - lets get it back home.
Cheers,
Andel

But those are free games so logically you will have more players also they can mod A LOT more than the lomo players. I dont like where we have been moved!

Free games will have more players, mod makers etc. I don't like the move either, even though I can still find it via a little more scrolling. BTW will google, yahoo etc search engines pick up the relocate or is that just on the homepage click to jump?

I like this sentence.
That's the spirit I like. Quality stuff! It's a win-win situation:

The community get's even better material to play with.

The community grows because of it.
The end result will be that because it will attrackt more people, more discussion is being generated thus increasing the odds of getting higher on the forums.
That's why I don't like the emo stuff: Only sit and complain. It's like people don't care about the quality of the discussions and/or add-on material but only care about the forum 'rank' if it even exists. I think it's the wrong mentality. Therefore I like the sentence Strongbow made: It could also be seen as a stimulating factor to produce even more and good material for Locomotion. I played it before and liked it. I play it occasionally now. But don't post here anymore since some of the discussions in my opinion were degrading in the past.
If you want to make a difference then stop complaining about 'moves' and stand up and show what the Lomo community is worth.
My 2 cents and a penny.
