I understand that, and I want people to post slideshows. But I'm trying to have a bit of foresight and here is a potential counter-arguement to a non-profit. What is the difference between a non-profit org putting on a show for $8 versus a shop putting on a show for $8? Either way someone is making money, both spend money on advertising their show, both take the money and use it internally in most situations. If they want to advertise it on this site that is fine but they need to send a few bucks my way.

Hmmm, anyways, maybe I should explain why we don't allow this kind of stuff to avoid people getting too bent out of shape. It has nothing to do with REI or Mazamas or any other group, it is just a policy in general and here is why we have to adhere to it. Let's say I let them post keep this posted. Another group will see it and start posting their stuff. And maybe after a while all these cool nonfree slideshows will be posted, which is fine. But then some wiseguy sees this as a great marketing tool and starts posting things like sales or guiding or whatever you can imagine. So I guess what I'm getting at is although things like slide shows are rather benign it sets a precedence for something that I would rather not have to deal with which is people "spamming" our board with advertising that they are not paying for. There have been a few instances where have allowed stuff like UW climbing club stuff and ice climbing clinics from Cascade Crags.

Ummmmm, who does this show benefit? There is a long standing rule on this board that any event that is posted must either be free or a benefit for some non profit organization.

Sidebar is most likely not going anywhere, although we will most likely change the formating, like decrease the width, and remove the shoutbox which is a little too distracting. If there are any links you people want to see there please let us know, or anything else. I'm not sure who can and can't disable the sidebar at this point, look at My Home->Preferences and there should be a pulldown to change the side it is displayed on and possibly turning it off.

The staff have teeth. I'm not sure if they have servers, but the place is pretty big and lots of pool tables. Never eaten there. Only problem is that is pretty deep in Bellevue. 8th street is pretty big and has lots of pool, a good drink selection, and the food is good and cheap, but can get a little stuffy at times but probably not a worry on Tue night.

Pumphouse?

I like the article Wayne. Yes it could use a little editing but that is what editors are for folks. I think the main reason why the mags didn't take it was that you got scooped. About a month or so before both Magazines had articles on internet climbing sites. Apparently we were mentioned in the Rock and Ice one but I didn't see it, and we didn't make the Climbing one although some pretty lame sites did. Lot's of tears shed over that I think you should sit on it a little while, add some stuff, and resubmit it. You didn't mention anything about Pub Clubs or Rope Up which I don't think many sites can claim to have done (all credit to Beck here). Maybe find some pictures to go along with it. Good work Wayne

I was saying that in September.

Did I say that out loud?

I'm a jackass!!

Oh, your back.

milfhunter iain?

I think what gave it away for me besides recognizing the IP address (yes I'm a tool) was that she was from Bellevue and worked and Nordstroms. Classic!

Wow, name callin. I'm trying to really be a better person lately and then I get let down by one of the biggies. boo hoo 1st. That wasn't directed towards you. 2nd. Is posting slander about people on the internet part of your plan on becoming a better person. Just curious? I would like point 2 cleared up. Who specifically did I just slander? No PM now Jon. By the way that lost pass word was probably last spring, right? Man you either have a great memory or you were sniffing around today in the history channel. hahahaha I think you started calling the name calling, even after we addressed the issue this morning. I do believe I am a member of the upper "crust" of cc.com, and since there are only two of us I'm going to stick up for both of us. Yeah I've got a mean photographic memory, it was just an interesting request. Anyways no hard feelings man, but I'm not going to bed until you return my PM.

I think that information is private.

Amber, pictured above, was probably one of the best trolls ever. I figured out the thing was all a hoax right away and just laughed my ass off as all the hornballs made asses of themselves. I think the Amber eventually posted the PMs she got, although I believe the thread no longer exists, at least I could find it. Funny shit. Check it. I don't want to keep saying this but I will. Every time you type on the computer, send an email, talk on the phone, whatever, someone could potentially be spying on you. Other websites that run message boards, the same thing, the people who run the site have access to every bit of information that is stored on the server. Some websites try to extract as much information of your computer as they can WITHOUT you knowing. Maybe this is a wakeup call to some, but that is the ugly reality of the digital lifestyle.

I agree. We should make everyone believe that all "private messages" are just private Then we should call people morons that dont even criticize us. Maybe you should reread the messages in your sent box sent to me.

The moderators cannot read PMs! Just Tim or I. Look I don't expect you people to trust us, so in the event you don't, just don't post anything sensitive in your PMs. Just like you would in email or anything else.

Yeah it is a defensive move you moron. People are accusing us of shit that isn't true. Some people think it is bullshit that we have access to their PM inboxes. We don't have access so we can read them, we are just able to login to peoples accounts so we can fix the shit. Just like the computer and network admin at your work or at your ISP has access to literally everything you type or put over the network.

Hey Sisu check out this thread. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB24&Number=130909&Main=130909#Post130909 If you guys want to accuse us of reading PMs that cool, I don't really give a shit what you think, fact is I don't nor really care to. You guys sure didn't mind when you came crying because your inboxes or profiles were broken.

The Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond areas in general don't have the bar atmosphere as of those in Seattle. Don't know about Issaquah. The Mustard Seed in Crossroads is alright, not sure if people would like the 8th St but they have good cheap food.

Whatever smartass I know you have your heart rate monitor hooked up to a peristaltic pump offering a steady flow of GU and horsecock to your bloodstream. 35 is pretty fucking low.

Dru what's your max heart rate?

You got to love it when the employees from the stores start slamming and sticking up for each other
