ThinkSnow Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 The thread had outlived it's usefulness. It started to just be bickering and insults, so the decision was made to put it to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO RIDGE GO NJSKIFAMILY GO 'DUDE GO '999 GO ATOMIC <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We just don't want things turning into a thread bashing people (which that was). Competition is great, but let's not let us start putting people's abilities, talents, and achievements down. Last I'll post in this topic.

Papasteeze Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thanks Greg! Ridge and Steven read this forum, when I let them. Now we can resume!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJSkiFamily Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Just got the skis all waxed and sharpened - WE'RE READY!!!!!! BTW - boy did I laugh when ski999 made the comment about us being scared away based on the responses in the other thread. What a riot. I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to respond.

Ski Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 The people that poke fun at each other--- sometimes getting really mean--- are mostly friends that go way back, through a few generations of message boards. Most of them, including me, ended up here because we were thrown off of other boards (DaveK is a big fat doughnut hound). Good luck with NASTAR. You may want to call ahead to make sure they are setting a course. I hate to use the 'getting late in the season' phrase, but some ski areas start scaling back NASTAR at the end of February.

poconoceancity Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 It doesn't feel like the end of the season...Others years when March hit you knew it. I think it is going to sneak up on us this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 It doesn't feel like the end of the season...Others years when March hit you knew it. I think it is going to sneak up on us this year... it snuck up hard and fast last year. Hopefully this year it will never come, but if it does, it'll be slow, and late.

ThinkSnow Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I was just thinking the same thing today... I JUST realized I had only a few more weeks to ski in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) yeah, it's weird, but it seem like it will never end, maybe it'll snow in August(in pa) and we can ski in August Edited March 4, 2005 by RacerChick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to use the 'getting late in the season' phrase, but some ski areas start scaling back NASTAR at the end of February. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's really good advice to call ahead. I called CB this morning and the response was that they don't have any specific cut-off date. That said, the race only runs if they can get enough staff on any particular day. So the advice was call on the day you're planning to come. Oh, I remember reading when you all were getting thrown off of "someone else's" message board. Lots of discussion on "freedom of speech" I seem to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic was locked due to lack of meaningful content, it just became meaningless bickering. All sides stated their views, in some cases multiple times, and there really wasn't new info coming from the thread, just hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJSkiFamily Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 My confusion here.....I was talking about last winter on cb's message board when everyone kept getting banned and some were let back on and then re-banned again all leading to the creation of "therealcb" and then finally pasr. I wasn't referring to any censorship on this board. I was just commenting on ski999's comment about you all being together through a few generations of message boards.

Lots of discussion on "freedom of speech" I seem to remember. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Freedom of speech was not impeded at all. People were allowed to speak freely, and nothing was edited or deleted. As I've been telling people a lot recently, we really only take action in one of 2 situations. 1) if what is going on is illegal, and could result in legal action against us or you, or 2) if members are being bashed. We will not tolerate having any of our members attacked, this has nothing to do with freedom of speech, but think about the kids who are being told they have no talent... That is all.. We will continue to allow people to what they will about anything going on with PA skiing, but the moment things turn to unreasonably attacking someone's talents, goals, or achievements, action needs to be taken. I hope you understand if the bashing is ever coming in your direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so confused I hijacked the thread and took it off on another tangent... As far as The freedom of speech thing goes.. Every one who spoke, spoke freely to the best of my knowledge. Its just that someone burned the text and that is a freedom too... This board is a very good one.. Everyone spoke and had their fun. Playtime was over. No need for anyone "new" to read all of that string.. Getting close to time to head north... Blue on Saturday, Camelhump on Sunday - unless they tell me that they are not running Nastar, in which case it will probably be JFBB to run up with some friends.
