Okay, I think it's about time to end the ambiguity and uncertainty around here about discussing other sims.
Over the past few weeks, we've seen threads opened about other sims, and quickly filled with people telling them that this is the Trainz forums and that discussion of other sims should be taken elsewhere. Lately the moderators have also taken this stance, going so far as to lock non-Trainz threads, quoting the above reasons as the purpose behind the locks.
These actions, however, seem to directly contradict one of the stated purposes of this particular forum (Prototype Talk), as posted by Lance in the "What to post?" thread:
Therefore, I am requesting that someone from Auran who is directly responsible for these forums clarify once and for all what the stance is on discussing other sims. Furthermore, to prevent future ambiguity, I would like to request that said stance be edited into the "What to post?" thread, so as to make sure that everyone knows what this stance is.
Although I have nothing at all against our moderators, I am not asking a moderator to answer this question, but someone from Auran who actually owns these forums. The moderators are, after all, volunteers, and not actually employed by Auran, nor are they their spokespersons (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
Thank you for your time.

Whether it be news of a new locomotive in the making, a fallen flag revival, railfan outings or new train related software, post it here to share with the community.
