If the mood were not so sombre, I would have quoted Hazrat Nizamuddin, "Dilli abhi door hai", in response to your war metaphor.

But this is not the time for levity. Yes, the site is in its death throes. At this rate, we are not even sure if the site will exist at Convention time. However, rest assured that we are trying our best, harnessing all our resources, to forge our way forward. How that turns out; only time will tell!!! On the positive side, the site is much more responsive and

faster now - so it's not all bad news.
.
Meanwhile, life must go on - with or without the site. It is touching how much you and many other members care about the site - definitely more than me. If our members feel it is inappropriate to hold festivities at this time, then we may shelve the plan to some other time.
Thanks.

Though you own this site and only you know how much you have invested(a lot we all know) and how far you can go yet you create lots of negativity by using word "death throes"
As a very rare principle you declined to carry Ads the most important thing to run any show in today's times.
Think & decide whether you want to allow some non intruding Ads to part fund this mission.

about Convention.
*Convention should have motive to Meet Learn Interact about Rail NOT to *Drink Roam Enjoy Free Meal on your (or anyone's money)
*Participants must contribute a non refundable amount ₹2000~3000
*Participants must arrange their to/fro tickets
*Place should be somewhere deep or far flung or close to Divisional/Zonal *Office having either something where very few think to go *Bhuj/Rameshwaram/Araku/Deep in NE/Munabao/Kalka etc etc
*Should call someone like DRM/GM to hold a Grand meet with brain storming session with Questions and Idea sharing
Frankly speaking if Conversion means I came I mate-eat & gone then it is not conversion at all.
Further we should call small Zonal level 1/2 days conversion crisply planned and participated by at least 12~15 people with sole aim to know/share Rail love and if we can invite Division level officer or can include a visit to DRM office even that would be very great for all.

It's always good and touching to have the support of long-time Sr. Members. Yes, this has been one of the longest running free-standing, free-wheeling, happy-go-lucky, non-serious, without-a-mission, without-a-damned-clue websites on the planet - 10 years. As for investment, when there is an "investment of life itself", you do not look for returns anymore.

When the site started, the world was

a barren desert. Now we are faced with a very, very determined "cavalry" with very deep pockets and an aggressive "kingdom" with very deep resources, and IRI faces a crisis of existence, with no pocket and scarce resources. We all have to grow up sometime, or are forced to grow up into a negative world. The harsh realities of business have hit home - maybe a little too late, or maybe there is still some time left. We'll see.

Not to continue this depressing blog, we shall revisit the topic in about 3-4 months and see how things stand.

Thanks.
