Wow, it's good to see so many familiar faces.. er... screen names.
There were a number of RCT fan sites that came and went. Any webmaster "back in the day" that had a links page was always updating it with new sites. RCT was one of the most fan-friendly titles to come out in some time and will always have a spot in my heart and memory.
In the beginning of this thread, the end of RCT Station was brought up, and I just wanted to clarify something about this, since there is a little bit of confusion. At one time, money was a big issue. Because of all of the articles, tracks, parks, extensive community, etc, we used a horrendous amount of bandwidth. Because there was no way I could afford it, I shut the site down for a few months (4-6 as I remember) and we came back with a new design and some new features, one which was a download section which allowed users to upload tracks, parks, etc into a database, instead of emailing them to me, as had been done for the past several years. Unfortunately, that version of the site just wasn't "ready" in my opinion. I gave things a few months, but I wasn't able to get the site to a quality I was happy with. I'm not the kind of person who likes to do a half-assed job, so I decided to just close the site. It came rather sudden, I admit, and it angered a lot of people.
There were a lot of good times back then. It's still good to see that some sites are still up and running.
