.......... There is also meta data that can be put into a website's page headers to ensure various search keywords are picked up when spiders crawl the website.

A look at the Source code of https://www.openrails.org/ reveals that the "Hints" by the HTML editor were left on the page.
Example:
<meta name="description" content="Write an awesome description for your new site here. You can edit this line in _config.yml. It will appear in your document head meta (for Google search results) and in your feed.xml site description." />
<meta property="og:description" content="Write an awesome description for your new site here. You can edit this line in _config.yml. It will appear in your document head meta (for Google search results) and in your feed.xml site description." />

Maybe the SEO works on a last read is data remembered.


Appears https://www.openrails.org/ needs some cleaning to remove the "Hints".

I just searched Google for "best train simulator" and this is what I got.

I had no idea there were so many.
OR is mentioned, near the top but not enough.

Euro truck2?
RR Tycoon II/3 and Transport Fever are economic strategy, not train driving simulator.
However TF2 has HI-detailed 3d models(dozens of thousands faces), deserving to be ported into ORTS

Especially to Gerry and Brandon:

"Official" ???? Appreciate your boundless enthusiasm --- but the word presumptuous comes to mind. Joint effort with the Development Team would be appropriate....get their feedback on the idea.

Hey, what's bad, since full of energy young man is willing to try himself in role of ORTS"embassy"/ORMT's press secretary?
I believe, both sides, and auditory (as the third one) would gain...

Social media like facebook requires another fulltime job: moderation. It's entirely possible such a group or page would fall prey to misuse or worse, a conduit for toxic information or politics. Who here is willing to spend hours simply moderating the thing?

Okay Facebook by this point is out but maybe a youtube page would be more fitting? Yes I already moderate a couple of my own railroad pages on Facebook and it is a daunting task to say the least some times!
