catbirdseat Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 It appears that currently that there are a lot of people who are creating multiple avatars to hide their true identities. The result of which is that new members are always under suspicion of being old members and treated with distrust. There ought to be a way to discourage the practice of multiple avatars. I can't think of a way, though. Most people probably don't have static IP addresses. There probably isn't a way. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I have been working on an article about Castle Crags. It consists of: A short TR of my first trip. A brief discussion of the area. A simple map and directions to easily found routes. Four of five photos. I want to send it in to CC.com. What formats are preferred? Is there a place for it here? I know its not in the WA Cascades but you do have great views of Shasta while climbing and anyone going south of Redding is only a couple miles from some nice routes or fun hiking. PP Also, I think Offwhite and Allison are willing to review it so hopefully it won't be as boring as my posts. Quote

A simple map and directions to easily found routes. Four of five photos. I want to send it in to CC.com. What formats are preferred? I was hoping to make this forum here a place for such articles. Perhaps I can create another forum where folks can post their works like that, and comments/discussion about them will be restricted to another forum like the climbers board. I'm open for ideas.... I have looked into adding other content systems, but there has been little interest in the past. Though soon i'll be adding some stuff that is integrated into the bbs that will be perfect for this. rambling Quote
mattp Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 I would simply put it in the Shasta forum even if that is geographically correct. Timmy: I'd like to hear more about your reasoning in thinking that there should be a forum where no responses are allowed to be posted. There are lots of sites around, including Alpinelite and NWOG, where this is a regular practice but I think what distinguishes cc.com is the lively discussion. If we can reduce the level of spray in the Route Reports forum, would that be better? After unleashing a monster, are you going anti-spray? Quote
mattp Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Timmy- NWOG and Alpinelite post articles where responsive comments cannot be entered, and there are climbing websites all over the place that do this. It certainly allows a cleaner browsing experience, but I think the cool thing about cc.com is the relatively unrestricted ability to interact. If we can get a greater handle on the spray in the route reports forum, do you still think there would need to be a "no replies" area? Quote
mattp Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Alpinelite and NWOG publish articles and stories without allowing direct comment. Lots of climbing sites all over the web do it. While those sites allow a cleaner browing experience, I like the interaction we have here. Assuming we can get folks to spray in the spray section and stay on topic in thie route reports forums, couldn't we have the best of both worlds? Quote
eternalX Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 I don't quite understand how the topics are arranged in each forum. If i try and sort by last post, it is still all out of order (the dates displayed in last post). Am i misreading this? Otherwise, great site. --eternal Quote
nonanon Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 OK, I'm gonna do some suckin' up here, but after this, that's it. You guys, that new front page layout is simply beootiful. I've gotta say, this whole site is amazingly well laid out. And w/o a doubt the quickest, easiest web-based forum I've ever seen in years of online lurkin'. Of course, the whole thing sucks when compared to a real newsreader, but for the web, this is very very nice. Congrats on a job well done. You guys have obviously worked really hard on this. OK, that's over. Where's the freakin' freshiez? Quote
gapertimmy Posted February 9, 2003 Author Posted February 9, 2003 OK, that's over. Where's the freakin' freshiez? amen brutha. thanks for the kind words. its amazing the ammount of work one can get done when stuck at home for a whole day while the pooch re-coups from surgery, glad you dig the new layout.

RobBob Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 I am surprised that catbird is complaining about the avatar thing, since he seems to be gettin down with the program pretty quick around here. I made a similar complaint, but realize that it's part of the fun here. But, sniff, sniff, I miss some of the old guys...Heywood Jablowme, etc. Quote

Bill_Simpkins Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 -Review new climbing books, guide books, instruction books -Have threads to talk about Guide book routes, updates, reccommendations and stuff to add to route info. (could be useful for authors too) Just an idea. Quote
AlienSoul Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Is that kew new review system comming? If so then you could add books to it. Quote
pindude Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Good idea. I can see having a forum on books--would it be appropriate to roll it into web pages forum, or have it completely separate? Completely separate may be best . OK, idea seconded. Does the motion pass? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Only after the groovy new Crag Forum is up and running! P Quote
DCramer Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Speaking only to guidebooks, I think that depending on how it is formatted the idea is good. I remember a guidebook section in the original discussion board on CC.com. Jon/Timmy am I simply getting old or were there guidebook correction forums when the site first started? Why not place a permanent (sticky?) highly moderated thread, that is spray free, in the appropriate regional thread. That way current info would be easily accessible and near relevant TRs. Quote
jon Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 AlienSoul said: Is that kew new review system comming? If so then you could add books to it. GaperT worked his magic and the review system is up and running. We still need to work out some configuration and formatting stuff but it should be up shortly. I can say this, it will be the fattest gear review system on the internet, I haven't seen anything that can touch it. And it integrates well with the rest of our .SPRAY technology. We will add a guidebook section for reviews. Yes there was previously a couple forums for Jim Nelson's books, but they saw no use so I removed them. We could create a single forum for authors to ask requests for beta or post updates, and for people to ask questions about a book for specific area, or just armchair reading recommendations. Quote
gapertimmy Posted April 23, 2003 Author Posted April 23, 2003 "Indeed Jon, the new review system will truly leverage the .SPRAY technology platform, and will be in line with our goal and vision of getting spray anywhere, anytime, on any device" Quote
gapertimmy Posted April 23, 2003 Author Posted April 23, 2003 There is a link up in the nav bar now, as well as one right here: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/review/index.php Here's how it works, you submit a product, preferably attach a picture, review it, and others review it, and we have a nifty little resource/structure that is/ to find out shit about gear. If there is a category/subcategory that you would like to see, post it to this thread. This new feature was brought to use through the donations of our users and the sponsors of Hot Deals, thank you all. tim Quote
RobBob Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 hey, where's the SUV category?! I wanna post a review and pic for Jim. Quote
fleblebleb Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Where to put custom insoles? Thermafit liners? We want to argue about skis! Hehehe This thing will be great once there are several hundred posts on it... Quote
