Sorry for downvoting. Believe the Moderator, as he started cooling his heels after the marathon convention, has his hands full at saving the site in face of the recent onslaught and IMHO it isn't certainly the right time to discuss secondary yet pocket-unfriendly things. Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt clarification. If you feel so (in the hindsight, probably correct too), I'm always available to participate in such a discussion and see where it takes us. As you said, nothing will be lost in trying to reignite our collective passion.

@all:
This is to formally announce the END of the RailCal app. Due to the information blockade, the app has lost its value, and has been rendered completely useless. We are unable to support RailCal anymore. Sorry to disappoint our users.
.
RailCal has already been taken off the Google PlayStore. So once again, please UNINSTALL RailCal (if you haven't done so already),

Though it may have lost its utility from an ordinary passenger point of view for checking availability, it still serves the purpose of checking TTs and other RF info like crossing, RSAs, etc., so please retain it.

@all:
The PNR Forum as we know it is OVER. The official website has unilaterally decided to thoroughly block and shut down all access to PNR info. We had put in MANY, many years of PAINSTAKING effort to develop the PNR Prediction infrastructure, and our Sr. Legendary Members have helped countless people through their travel anxieties over the past TEN YEARS.

Members should be given MEDALS for PUBLIC SERVICE, instead of being treated like this!!! I ask, why NOT at least a Padma Shri to rdb? ALL of that has now been ground to dust in an instant. Our members will be disappointed. Travellers who have come to rely on our Sr. Members to help them over the years may take anxiety medications instead.
.
The world will move on. The existence of IRI will soon be forgotten.
.
I shall be ending the post here, as words will NOT DO ANY JUSTICE to this atrocity.

Re# 4180488-53              
It's really sad to know that an EPIC section of IRI, the PNR forum "as we know it" is closing down owing to the stubborn red-tapism by IR. I'm at a loss understanding what's irking them; maybe our better knowledge and near-accurate predictions are doing a disservice to their moolah-raking strategies.
.
The PNR forum has been a legend in its own right and was an INSTANT HIT when it was first introduced, and was a lovely way to get accustomed to the RF world for newbies. I personally know a few

IR friends themselves eagerly getting to know about this hugely popular forum, albeit at a personal level. Having said that, the moment IR started putting hindrances in our accessing that precious information some 3-4 years ago was a clear sign of things to come.
.
Nevertheless, we have PNR Acharyas here who, I believe, will continue to contribute their mite towards whatever avatar PNR section may take. We WILL NOT let IR write an elegy for the section, and in extension other major sections of the site as well.
.
Dear Moderator, we are very much aware of the pain you have endured over the years to keep the section afloat despite consistent and persistent hurdles. We ASSURE you that we will solidly back whatever efforts you may take in this regard. I once again thank and request PNR enthusiasts via this post for their wholehearted participation going forward.

Well, I abstain from voting for the time being as I haven't fully understood as to what harm does it cause in being visible to every member and what sort of monitoring or qualifications required for this. Request you to attach a few examples or a brief as to what made you think of coming up with this.

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...
