jon Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 AAHHHHHHHHHH! I see what you are talking about. The problem arised when I asked for people to put in the topic Suggestion Box and you put Banning Suggestions, so when I sort by subject, and since the letter S is way after B I don't see the email. I'll get back to you shortly. Quote
RuMR Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 P.S. Please invite anyone you know who can contribute positively to register a username. Ahhh NOLSe, how they misjudged you. Little did the erstwhile folks at Ascentionist know you would immediately post the invite on CC.com for all to see. I think any thread that both you and Rumr post in is automatically a spray thread... ahhh come on... a little verbal sparring gets everyone fired up for the week!! Its a good thing!! Quote
sk Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Dear Ascensionist: There’s a new Internet based climbers’ resource—Ascensionist.com. An alternative to other climbing Bulletin Board Systems (e.g., cc.com, etc.); less bickering and BS; more talk of climbing. You’ve received this e-mail because I’ve hand selected you to participate in Ascensionist.com. Please help the popularity and usefulness of the site by registering a username and posting trip reports, conditions, and discussion of all things climbing (access issues, etc.). Naturally, with any new BBS, Ascensionist.com will initially lack content, but with your help this will change. I believe it’s time for a better climbers’ resource; a resource where climbers don’t have to wade through 10 pages of non non sequiturs and useless posts to get to information related to climbing; and a place where people aren’t censored or banned for expressing climbing views and opinions that aren’t mainstream. Ascensionist.com isn’t yet perfected by any means; as the site’s popularity increases, and as I receive user feedback, I will change the site (whether by adding categories, or by implementing greater functionality), to best suit its users. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and please visit: Ascensionit.com! Thanks, The Ascensionist P.S. Please invite anyone you know who can contribute positively to register a username. i got this today. do thease people have any IDEA who iam... I think I have ONE TR on this site Quote
fleblebleb Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) Me too I posted a trip report of being rained on at the UW rock once, that's about it though. Have to admit, browsing through asc.com was a hoot - Lambone spraying on everything. Made me start rooting for Dwayner and Cpt. Caveman and Trask and other bannees, you know, all happy spraying each other down. Maybe dissensionist.com would have been more apt? Edited October 12, 2004 by fleblebleb Quote
slothrop Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I'll no longer refer to myself as an "alpinist", but an "ascensionist". "Alpinist" is so 2003, pfft. Quote
slothrop Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Wow, I just looked at the Big Wall Tips thread... it's a Lambone strokefest! I think he's found his warm fuzzy place. Quote
iain Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 why has no one registered as Dru yet and started doing some unprecedented trolling??? or has someone tried already and been rejected Quote
glacierdog Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Some one better wake up Trask! If he can't be reached, I'll register as Trask and cut and paste some of his greatest hits out of the archives. Quote
Dru Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 why has no one registered as Dru yet and started doing some unprecedented trolling??? or has someone tried already and been rejected "dru" is already banned on that board stupid. but I registered "iain" and "imorris" Quote
griz Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 It's a cool idea. I hope it works out for whoever put the site up. It has cc.com's good design and ease of use but going for a broader base beyond the PNW. CC.com is fun but I don't live in WA anymore, ya know? I've always thought it would be great to have a site like cc.com but geared towards climbers from all over...not just the PNW. It could fit the bill. The sections/ divisions for Trip Reports already kicks cc.com's ass. Having a designated place for TR's of international climbs and climbs outside of the PNW is a great idea that cc.com should follow too. good luck,Ascensionist. Quote
tomtom Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 At least they have A NEW AID CLIMBING FORUM . Quote
willstrickland Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I've always thought it would be great to have a site like cc.com but geared towards climbers from all over...not just the PNW Have you tried http://www.rockclimbing.com ? Seriously though Griz, I think there is a Boulder version of the climbingmoab site. Climbingboulder.com or something similar, you should give it a look. The Moab version has pretty good beta. Quote
griz Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Yeah, climbingboulder.com is a site you guys should envy as a resource for climbing . It really is a pretty impressive site if you want beta/ rte pics in Colorado. However, if you wanna shoot the shit/talk shit/get a chuckle with climbers online it has nothin' on cc.com. Wish there was a site as active/funny as this site that focused on the rockies but it ain't so. Quote
jon Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Back in the day I talked with the guy who runs climbingboulder, nice guy from where I grew up, and he tried to pitch to us running their backend software and their design. We decided to go our own improvised route, hence spray. Funny looking back at that. Quote
Distel32 Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 At least they have A NEW AID CLIMBING FORUM . cc.com needs an aid climbing forum about as much as it needs a bouldering forum. Quote
iain Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 whaddayamean? I for one would love to see some aid climbing videos. nothing like watching aid climbing! all the hauling, things flapping around, ropes every which way, very exciting. Quote
tomtom Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 At least they have A NEW AID CLIMBING FORUM . cc.com needs an aid climbing forum about as much as it needs a bouldering forum. Luddite ... Quote
Dru Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I think there should be a NEW PUMPKIN CARVING FORUM! Quote
iain Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 You would have to post inane, off-topic commentary every 5 minutes to maintain the fine reputation I have cultivated on this site. I don't think you're up for the job. Quote
minx Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 this is probably true. i don't think anyone is as inane as you. Quote
Distel32 Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 but you're still 10,000 posts behind dru. Quote
