Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

    Thumbs up!!"

      I honestly didn't even know that was an Ice skating rink.

      Maybe they should consider turning it into a giant class room for Teen Driver Clinics.

            Nothing screams "money maker" like a Firefighter Museum.

              I think a museum dedicated to the making of museums would be great

                There's only 1 problem with that. Same problem as with model train sets:

                    There is a much longer article on the front page of today's Birmingham News. Says they are losing about a million/year on the ice rink. I'm sure the museum will turn that around.

                    More importantly, it also said the city is buying 35 or so acres adjoining for expansion of the complex. Perhaps they will build their own parking.
