JayB Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 FWIW I've just been too busy lately to enlighten the wayward masses. Hopefully you'll stick around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 The thing I like about Fairweather is he likes to talk issues and doesn't make personality the issue by hurling insults. It keeps everybody in the game. I respect the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin_B Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 "Bush is Hitler" Â That's an insulting and offensive analogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pope Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'm out of here too. This time I mean it. Seriously, those who have something valid and/or humorous to add are discouraged from participating. Those who remain are increasingly dull. I have unsuccessfully attempted to persuade those who banned Dwayner to reconsider. I have endured insults, bannings, threats.....and worst of all, tedious and unskilled attempts to justify leaving countless bolt trails on our cliffs. Â Yes, the writing is on the wall. We now have about 19 moderators (multipled by three avatars each)....that makes nearly 60, which exceeds the number of people participating on a regular basis. Jon and Tim, my advice to you is this: if you want CC.com to return to its greatness, you should allow unrestrained conversation. When that happens, e-mail me and I'll consider returning. Until then, best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Maybe we should add a new feature: In order to view the spray forum you have to log in. When you log in and go to spray for the first time, you must check a waiver box that says that you enter the forum at your own risk and that there are no holds barred. It would be sort of akin to those license agreements we never read when loading up new software. Â Spray is spray. If you don't like what people are saying in there, don't go in there. It's is you that ritualistically logs in every day and goes to spray to see what's going on. It is you who become offended at the things you can't stay away from. You've only yourself to blame. Â Fairweather's exodus from this site (if it be real...who knows, he may reappear as a new avatar thus trying to come across as someone with fresh ideas) may have more to do with his realization that this site wastes his time--time better spent on more meaningful activities--than that this site itself is a problem in it's content alone. Despite what seems like an insane attraction for some high-level users of this site, there is more to life than this site. (Isn't there? ) Â Other than these, I have sensed a drop in the vitality of this site lately. But this vitality fluctuates all the time. No sense getting upset about it. If the problem persists, maybe the site has a bug and needs an elixir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I love people who argue with fiction instead of fact, I think your funny. Pope, almost everything that you said is completely untrue, except for one thing which is fairly obvious. Â I'm sorry people insulted you Pope. Have you forgotten you and your friends tirades over the last three years about how this place sucks and then you go away for a bit and come back? How convenient. Â Don't hold your breath for that email pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 (edited) it seems if you put a chicken in a cage and irradiate its brain for long enough you no longer have to ban it. a point is reached where it will spontaneously BAN ITSELF!

JayB Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 The actual content has been quite good lately, especially in the Ice Conditions forum and THE NEW ROCKCLIMBING Forum. Â If there's a better resource for keeping up to date on the ice conditions across the PNW, I'm not aware of it. The discussion about the route on Garfield has actually been pretty good as well, as well as the thread about why people putting up bolted routes may or may not decline to post here, right next to a thread(!) started by a Mr.E, where he announces a new route at Smith. Despite all of the whining about moderation, the tone of all of the threads in there has been pretty constructive and civil - (this is a plus in my book) largely because of the efforts of the moderators in there. Plus the pics in the photo gallery have been pretty sweet as well. And there was Smokeshow's killer TR, etc, etc, etc.... Â I guess it depends on what you come here for. There's plenty of other places where you can load up on the mindless, the profane, the juvenile, and the vulgar if that's what you find yourself missing here.

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I come here for the loads of mindless banter with profanity and excessive juvenile taunts or remarks as well as consistant vulgarity. Â As long is it is made by climbers or relating to climbers I find it fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
