Help!! Cat Peed in Ski Boot!!

Dude, that was a funny thread!

 

[crgildart]

I only hope that it doesn't change the tone here. I like it here much better.

Those folks will just go spend more time on TGR

*sigh* waisteering is gone forever.

Who is this "Heather" that keeps getting mentioned in this thread? I don't post much anymore over on Epic... I've apparently missed something.

TGR'll leave the light on for them.

Hmmm, maybe P&T should close your account here before thes things come in 3s!

They only need to worry if I stop posting here. I hadn't posted on the other two shutdowns in a very long time.

 

[Tyler Wenzel]

That's sad.

In my defense I was 15 and new to the whole forum world.

I only hope that it doesn't change the tone here.

I have a feeling that this is not going to be a problem.

My big fear with this news is the loss of all the archived content. The ski tuning information was very helpful.

I've already moved off my unofficial guides:

Wow, too bad they aren't going to save it somewhere. So much content.

Exactly.

 

[David Chaus]

OK, so at this moment as I type this, there are 71 posts on Epic about this news, and this is post #71 on this topic on Pugski.

Ahahahahahhah

I say this as a no longer contracted by MNC person, Heather doesn't deserve any bashing. MNC has like 7 levels of corporate hierarchy near as I can tell. I only directly worked with Heather. She only found out a few minutes before she called me. I think it was another few levels up the chain from her where this decision was made.

Be mad at Vail or the C levels of MNC, but this wasn't Heather's fault.

lol, I know it's not her fault. (... oh hell, if you have to explain it ... just never mind)

frankly I will miss having the opportunity to go back and view, as I did within the last year, threads such as: "Does it make any sense for an intermediate New England groomer skier to venture somewhere out west ?!"

Just copy those two threads right there and you have a treasure trove of trivial and often absurd entertainment, as well as some incredibly useful information. Rare combinations.

Funny you mention that, @David Chaus. I actually DID copy the 'intermediate thread' at one time. Was going to reduce it to ski resort data for intermediates. Don't know if I still have it in its somewhat original form ... or if I even captured the user names.

 

[scott43]

Huh...

 

[Philpug]

I beleive SMJ referred to letting the content perish is like burning a library with the books in it. Kudos. MNC had numerous opportiniites to let the content live by accepting a fair offer for it..they chose not to. As @Bob Barnes said..shame on them.

When you come to A-Basin this year, I'll buy you a drink.

Wow, that's early quite the tale of intertwining forum originated friendships. I remember a time when friends and family used to think I was nutso for having these relationships.

Yeah, I remember friends telling me vehemently that my online friends were not "real" friends. Funny, I don't keep in touch with some of those friends I met in person anymore - but I still talk to some of the people I met online. On a regular basis.

Who is this "Heather" that keeps getting mentioned in this thread? I don't post much anymore over on Epic... I've apparently missed something.

Oh, she posted around the time that some controversial staffing changes were made. The feeling was that she was too "corporate." And she was sharing a message no one wanted to hear. She never posted except to share corporate perspective. It just wasn't welcome at the time.


Umm doesn't @Bob Barnes have some guides posted over there that definitely need to be mirrored somewhere?

 

[Monique]

Also @dean_spirito , I don't remember if you rebuilt your jumps post over here, or if you linked to the epicski thread?

It certainly looks as if this announcement is good for traffic on Pugski. I've never seen so many people listed as online on the forum front page, especially visitors. Hopefully this is good for revenue for the site.
