#siteannouncement Regarding Ads on IRI.
For the last 4 years, India Rail Info has been maybe one of a handful of websites in the world, and the ONLY Indian website that has carried absolutely NO ads. This situation may change as we look to attain long-term sustainability. But, even if and when ads are introduced, there will be a uniqueness to it - something that our users will actually enjoy, rather than be annoyed. Popup ads go against the basic philosophy of this site, and will NEVER be introduced - EVER. As of now, there are NO ads on IRI.
However,
...
more...
it has come to our notice that some of our users are seeing popup ads. These ads do NOT belong to IRI. They may have been placed there by your own software or other intermediaries, who are illegally and unethically exploiting the clean and unique reputation of this website.
You are free to do as you please. Either take the matter up with your local authorities, or just bear with it. Please understand that although we are outraged, we are helpless about other intermediaries illegally tampering with this site's contents.
Thanks.

Idea is good. But, I would suggest we can take donations/supports to run the show. Ads will divert our attention from the main course. I offer to pay the domain renewal charges for next 5 years. (since, I am immensely benefited from this site, not monetarily but due to ease in operations), More importantly, I do not wish to be Admin or Mod.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...

So all of these features will be REMOVED. We'll have ONLY BLOGGING - quick upload of pics/videos/audio, etc. You may attach...
