But, in the end, Conrail did get un-Conrailed.

No, it's not just you, Glenn. Many of the formerly prolific members decided to "vote with their feet" after Otto ripped up the existing anthracite railroad forums and welded them together 15 months ago. They might still login to this website on occasion, but if they post anything at all it doesn't seem to be posted here. :/
I can't say that I'm surprised by the response. At the time I had hoped that Otto's action might stimulate participation here, but instead that move has stagnated it. It's clear that our active membership valued the consistency of the then-existing separate anthracite forums much more than they valued having everything consolidated. I'm certain that in a purely technical sense it's possible (though inconvenient) for this site's leadership to un-scramble this egg, but I don't know if "un-Conrailing" everything might be too late to attract lost membership back.
