ericb Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I did get flack for my Vesper TR... you did? I don't see it. ...I've also read some TRs from the "self-lovers" (that were nothing but chest beating) that I thought for sure would draw serious fire, and folks were pretty gracious and complimentary. An example please? ...some in this community can be so ... gracious to some narcissistic, chest-beating tool. An example please? -Self-loving-narcisistic-tool-chestbeatingFox I've also chatted a bit with some other CCers and learned for the most part not to take anything too seriously, and to feel free to completely ignore the comments from some. . AF - it wasn't my intention to name names, nor to call out any paricular person but I believe my non-answer to your question was actually embedded in my post Quote
kevbone Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Dude's this site is for PURE entertainment! Nothing else! We all are tools for even trying to be cool on this site. Climber have been climbing for years without the use of beta from the internet. Why do we all feel nessasary to spray about all our trips? Although I like to look at pics of climbs I have done or what to do. I guess Im a tool too! PS: you to RuMR! Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 this last one takes this thread over the top. now just a few posts from pope and cpt.cave to kick it off the edge. Quote

flyingpig Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 how did you do that? that's funny. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 Well, this thread speaks for itself. I thank those of you who gave useful contributions, and I thank those of you who have identified yourselves to be ignored. I still think that the board could be friendlier to newer people, but it sounds like there's no changing things, until you old-time sprayers get tired of spraying. Quote
Alpinfox Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 how did you do that? that's funny. I had one of CobraCommander's computer guru henchman take time out from their Viagra spam project to whip up that little gif gem. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 i heard those henchmen are starting a union. good bye clever emoticon gifs at a moments notice! Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I don't think you are correct there, CJ. Certainly, some people will post whether or not they are going to be flipped a bunch of crap, so maybe you mean traffic volume is not necessarily directly related to spray tolerance? You don't really mean that nobody could ever be discouraged by how their posts are received - do you? mattp- I've spent almost 10 years on web forums.Like clockwork everycouple of years on a forum people bitch about it declining, and the spray or whatever driving people away. Sometimes they change something (heavier moderation, memberships, etc), sometimes they don't. Sometimes the members respond to these tactics, sometimes they don't. The best predictor of 'content', in my experience, is user activity. The more people who use the forum, the more content there is. I'm not saying you can't garden to modify the ratio slightly; but it's only slight. Exactly. This is just how it is. Quote
Mos_Chillin Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 If you are looking to this crowd for support of your achievements, you need to develop your sense of self-esteem more. If you post your TR's, beta, and spray for fun, entertainment, education and recognize that it IS THE FUCKING INTERNET NOT THE REAL WORLD, then you have a head on your shoulders. E Quote
archenemy Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 until you old-time sprayers get tired of spraying. Don't underestimate the silver-sprayer crowd. Quote
